Features of acrylate facade paints

Thanks to the wide variety of acrylic products of the company "Caparol", you can solve many problems associated with the facade decoration. The most famous and sought-after material from this series is the paint "Caparol Amphibolin" (Amphibolin), which received only positive feedback from customers. The product is different:

• Resistant to aggressive gases and alkalis;
• Excellent indicators of resistance to moisture;
• Good filling ability.

The coating does not prevent the diffusion of water vapor and is easy to treat.

No less popular product with positive reviews is the paint Cap-elast Unitop, which has the ability to maintain elasticity even at low temperatures (down to -20 ° C). Under the influence of UV radiation, it forms a molecular network. Due to this, the facade under extreme temperature conditions is protected from the effects of atmospheric influences and air polluting chemicals.

The structure of the material is such that it allows us to fully solve the problem with cracks on the surface of the walls of the building. Elastic components of the mixture are able to penetrate into all cracks, creating a sanitation coating.

Another advantage of Cap-elast Unitop paint is the ability to skip steams. The consumption of the product is 250-300 ml / m ² when finishing a smooth surface. When painting a rough surface, the material consumption increases.

Dispersive facade paints

This series includes three main products:

• Acryl-Fassadenweis;
• Muresko-plus;
• Amphisil.

Muresko-plus paint

Of all the materials in this group, this paint is used most often. And this is not surprising, because it, according to customers, has many advantages:

1. Muresko-plus paint can be used in any climatic conditions.
2. The material is able to withstand adverse weather conditions, is resistant to wind and precipitation.
3. It is resistant to UV radiation, forming a durable and reliable coating on the surface.
4. Has a sufficiently high adhesive ability.
5. Protects the substrate from moisture.
6. The walls covered with such material are able to "breathe" and do not accumulate moisture.

Muresko-plus can be applied to a smooth and structured surface.

The average consumption of the material when staining smooth surfaces is 200 ml / m ² .

Features of paint based on polymer resins

Paint "Caparol" on the basis of polymer binders with a low content of solvents is especially suitable for finishing facades with not very strong surfaces (if, for example, the layer of plaster is crumbled or there is an old paint coating).

The merits of the materials of this group include:

• High adhesion;
• Resistance to temperature changes;
• Ensuring reliable protection of the walls.

Each kind of material in this series is endowed with its own properties.

For example, the wall paint "Caparol Duparol-W" with algicidal and fungicidal additives is perfect for facades affected by fungi and moss.

Dupa-Haftgrund has an excellent strengthening effect. Most often it is used for finishing walls of facades with peeling coatings, porous surfaces or for priming with subsequent painting.

According to user feedback, the main advantage of this material is its high adhesion and leveling ability.

The average paint consumption of this group is 200-250 ml / m ² .

Features of paint based on siloxane resins

This group of materials includes paints:

• AmphiSilan-Volltonfarbe;
• AmphiSilan;
• AmphiSilan-Streichfueller;
• Special primer.

The paint based on siloxane resins is diluted with water. The material in its composition does not contain solvents and does not emit harmful emissions.

According to reviews, the main advantages of materials of this kind include:

• High resistance to weathering;
• Water vapor transmission;
• Quickness of drying;
• Good filling ability.

The most famous representative of this group of materials is the AmphiSilan paint. This material is well suited for finishing facades with plaster and mineral coating.

Average paint consumption from 150 to ml / m ² for smooth substrate coatings. As a binder is a resin, in its structure is similar to quartz. The coating formed by using the paint allows for maximum vapor transmission. But at the same time it reliably protects the house's facade from the rain.

Such "Caparol" paints, the palette of which is very diverse, have increased resistance to chemicals, are easy to clean, durable and suitable for facing public and residential buildings. Also can be used for restoration work.

Silicate materials

This group includes, in addition to non-dispersion and dispersion paints on a silicate base, also primers. All products are united by the name Siliton and have silicate binders, which make it possible to obtain a durable coating with excellent performance characteristics.

The colors of this group do not detain couples, allow the walls of the house to "breathe". In addition, they do not leak moisture and provide reliable protection of the substrate. Widely used in the decoration and restoration of buildings with bases of natural stone and brick.

Paint application

Before you start painting the wall, you need to prepare the base. When painting concrete or plaster, make sure that the surface is dry and hard. The base is cleaned of dust and dirt. The previously colored surface gets rid of the lagging paint layer. The metal parts are cleaned of rust.

Now we need to determine the number of applied layers of facade paint (painted in 1-3 layers). If the base is smooth and level - it is better to cover with two layers in order to save the consumption of the paint material. The first layer is primer. When applying it, it is recommended to mix the paint with a special primer gel and water (no more than 5% of the volume of the paint). With a three-layer painting system, a primer is applied, after it is dried, 2 coats of paint are applied. The top coat of paint can be diluted with water (no more than 15%). That will make it possible to make the layer thinner and reduce the consumption of the material. Three-layer coloring system allows better protection of the surface from moisture penetration. It should be remembered that each next layer is applied only after the previous one has dried. This time is indicated on the package and is approximately 10-12 hours.
