weber.silP

weber.sil P is a solvent-free, water-based silcone resin emulsion paint (SREP) for masonry substrates.

• Unique combinatiion of high water repellency, high vapour permeability and low VOC
• Resistant to blistering and peeling 
• Highly hydrophobic – water beading effect (see image insert) helps maintain a clean surface
• Chemically bonds to masonry substrates due to nanoscale molecular structure
• Resistant to algae and fungi growth
• Vapour permeability and UV resistance independently tested
• UV stable and resistant to acid rain ensures exceptional long-term durability and performance

weber.sil P is available in a wide range of colours. Refer to the Weber NCS colour card for full colour range.

Existing rendered substrates

Hammer test and remove all areas of loose, ‘bossed’ render.

Treat surfaces with weber CL150, a biocidal wash. Refer to data sheet for full instructions.

Wire brush, or wash down surface with a high pressure jet (40 – 80 bar) to remove all traces of growth.

Make good surfaces using weber.rend stipple and weber.rend TUC or weber.rend PUC.

New rendered substrates

Ensure new render is fully cured, clean, dry and free from dust.

Note:

To ensure colour consistency, paint required for complete and adjoining panels should be of the same batch number or be thoroughly mixed together before use.

When the surface is dry, apply a first coat of weber.sil P, diluted 10 – 15% with clean water, using a wool roller.

Apply a second, undiluted coat when the first coat is dry, normally between 6 and 24 hours.

Stable surfaces with particularly high suction should be primed with weber PR310.

To ensure product acceptability, colour samples must be requested. These are freely and readily available from Weber.

Spillages stain and are difficult to remove so:

• protect vulnerable areas thoroughly
• wear protective clothing
• clean tools with water

Good practice

Do not apply:

• If frost is forecast within 24 hours of use
• In damp/wet conditions
• In temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C
• On elevations in direct sunlight or where the substrate is hot

Where it has been agreed that painting will be carried out as part of a remedial action to harmonise colour on a rendered facade, complete and all adjoining panels must be over coated. The painting of any panels should be carried out at the same time under the same weather conditions.

Exact colour matching of mineral render and paint is not guaranteed. Colour appearance will vary naturally between paint and render as the products are fundamentally different in composition and hence finished appearance.

Wet pre-mixed materials must be stored frost-free and protected from direct sunlight and extreme heat. To prevent ingress of air, buckets should be stacked no more than 2 high, and where a central support is used, to a maximum height of 4. When stored under these conditions, the shelf life of the product is 12 months from the date of manufacture.

Essentially non-hazardous.
