VELO ANTICO

Siloxane mineral solution

Excellent breathability and water - repellency

Alkali and weather resistant

platinum line

Description

Decorative system based on siloxane resins and lamellar charges formulated for the treatment of external and internal surfaces.

Use

It is used on wall surfaces both outside and inside in order to obtain special colour finishing effects in light or strong contrast with the background colour. The fantasy of the user both in the creation of the colour background and in the creation of the colour of « VELO ANTICO » will play on the beauty of the decoration.

Preparation of surfaces

New surfaces:
New plasters or patches must be well cured, clean, dry and free from white layer.
On old paints, remove traces of oils, greases and parts that don’t adhere well; level any irregularities of the substrate, seal any cracks and then apply a coat of our fixative product « SILOX PRIMER », that is ready to use.

Preparation of the product

Mix the product before the use and add water
Component A                                  100
Water                                    max     5 – 15 %  depending on the desired effect    

Environmental conditions

Ambient temperature:              from + 8  to  40° C
Temperature of the support:     > 10° C
Humidity:                                  0 - 85 %
In order to prevent the formation of condensation, it is necessary that the temperature of the substrate is at least 3° C above the dew point.

Precautions:

• Do not apply on wet or not well cured substrates;
• Do not apply at temperature below 10° C;
• Do not apply when moisture is above 85 %, in case of imminent rain and in the presence of wind;
• Do not apply if there is condensation on the surface or under the direct action of the sun;
• The humidity of the substrate must be less than 10 %;
• Protect the substrate from rain for at least 48 hours. The product is completely dried and polymerized in 10 - 15 days under optimal environmental conditions. If, in the meantime, there are rains that would somehow soak the product, unsightly drippings with a glossy and sticky appearance could appear. The latter could be eliminated with high pressure washing  or waiting for the next rains. This phenomenon does not affect the features of the product.

Application

There are two techniques: « A METTERE » and « A TOGLIERE ».” The application can be carried out in several ways: round brush, ceilings, sea sponge, synthetic sponge trowels, special pads, rags, sponge gloves, special rollers, etc.
If you use the brush, you have to use nylon or natural bristle brushes.
If you use the roller, you have to use medium - haired rollers.
