Silicate Paint for Exterior and Interior FN NANO® Paint Silicate

By painting the wall with silicate paint, you strengthen the base before applying the self-cleaning paint  FN NANO^®. With a silicate coating, you create an invisible layer that not only strengthens the substrate, but also reduces the risk of allergic reactions and increases resistance to fungi. The coating is suitable for use mainly outdoors, but can also be used indoors. Before applying the silicate coating, it is recommended to first treat the walls with penetration FN NANO^® Primer Acrylic. It is recommended to apply to all walls on which you want to subsequently apply self-cleaning coatings FN^® NANO. 

Part of a functional photocatalytic coating system ensuring active self-cleaning of the surface, resistance to microorganisms, perfect protection of the substrate against UV radiation and effective air purification.

Advantages of Silicate Paint FN NANO^® Paint Silicate:

• Preparation of the substrate for self-cleaning coatings FN^® NANO.
  
• Silicate paint - white shade.
• Reduced risk of allergic reactions.
• Fine structure, matte appearance.
• High water vapor permeability.
• Higher resistance of the coating against fungi.
• Does not contain plasticizers and heavy metals.
• The active component of the coating suspension does not harm the environment or human health.
• Application by brush, roller, small areas by brush.

What Can a Functional Photocatalytic Coating System Do?

• The application of all three products creates functional self-cleaning surfaces.
• Preventing the growth of mold and other microorganisms.
• Cleans the air from allergens, viruses, bacteria.
• Reduces the risk of disease transmission.
• Actively removes NOx, SOx, VOC and other pollutants from the air.
• Effectively eliminates viruses and bacteria.
• Eliminates yeast, fungi, spores.
• 1 m² of coating can clean 3 million m³ of air per year. 
• Removes odors (cigarette smoke, exhaust gases, feces...).

Rules for Applying Silicate Paint - What to Watch out for

1) The substrate must be coherent, dry, non-greasy, free of dirt and biological attack (mold, algae), not salted. Cannot be applied to substrates containing gypsum, non-carbonated lime, hydrophobized materials, efflorescence of water-soluble salts, facade acrylic, silicone and polyvinyl acetate coatings, chalk-based paints, lacquered substrates, plastics, wood, metals and water-stressed ( horizontal) and wet surfaces. 

2) Before application, it is necessary to cover all surfaces - glass, ceramic and painted surfaces, natural stones, metal and wooden window and door frames.

3) Always mix the suspension before applying. Apply at least two topcoats, allow 12 hours drying time between coats.

4) Never apply the coating to waterproof surfaces - after the coatings have completely dried and matured (min. 24 hours, preferably 48 hours), the FN NANO functional coating can be applied according to the instructions®.

We recommend treating the walls with penetration FN NANO^® Primer Acrylic. Leave to dry for 12-24 hours and apply the base color.

How Does FN NANO^® PAINT SILICATE Work?

The paint does not adversely affect the healthy climate in the interior, and thanks to its composition, the risk of adverse reactions during painting in people with allergies and people hypersensitive to the presence of chemical substances is reduced. The alkaline mineral nature of the coating eliminates the risk of early fungal attack. The paint is suitable for painting in the sensitive environment of residential and public buildings, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, retirement homes, etc. and, due to its silicate nature, also for painting most heritage buildings. The color is intended for painting walls and ceilings. Lime and lime-cement plasters, rehabilitation plasters, concrete panels and monoliths or cohesive lime, silicate and medium-dispersion (abrasion-resistant, non-washable) original coatings are suitable substrates. The product meets the requirements for coating surfaces that may come into indirect contact with food. After curing, the coating creates a very matte, slightly rough to the touch, highly vapor permeable surface that is resistant to standard room humidity and resistant to dry abrasion. 

Appearance of Coatings

FN NANO^® PAINT SILICATE is white and has a relatively high hiding power. The thickness of the coating layer is optimally 5-20 microns. The layer created is white and relatively soft, so we recommend applying the coating to the ceiling and surfaces where there is no risk of damage from abrasion.  

Use Options 

• households
• suitable for allergy sufferers and asthmatics
• waiting rooms, nurseries, schools to reduce the spread of diseases

It is not suitable for application on the base of clay-based paints! It must not freeze! Do not dilute with water!

Composition

Mixture of water, fillers, pigments, copolymer dispersion, rheological agents, biocidal substances and auxiliary additives. You can find a detailed breakdown of the composition in the safety data sheet. 

Interiors

Functional paint FN NANO^®  is used exclusively in the interior. It is used as a highly effective low-cost technology for cleaning the air from a wide range of pollutants and odorous substances. It creates a functional layer on the walls and ceiling, which, in addition to cleaning the air, effectively prevents the settlement of microorganisms. The product will be especially appreciated by those with various allergies, asthma, etc. This coating will help them create a healthier and cleaner environment.

Functional coating FN NANO^®  can ensure a healthier environment both in areas where there are a large number of people (shopping centers, airport halls, office buildings...) and in your home at home, in schools and in homes for the elderly. It is also a promising new technology for increasing the level of protection of patients and staff of medical facilities against resistant strains of dangerous bacteria and the spread of infections.
Our technology is also used in industrial operations to remove unpleasant odors and purify the air from dangerous substances. It will also find application in improving protection against unwanted microorganisms in food production and against the spread of diseases in animal husbandry.

How to Apply Nano Coating FN NANO^® PAINT SILICATE

1) Before application, it is necessary to cover all glass, ceramic and lacquered surfaces, natural stones, metal and wooden window and door frames, because silicate paint can corrode them and traces of it, especially on glass, are practically unremovable.  

2) In the case of application on a substrate with gypsum content, a penetrating coating is used as a primer FN NANO^® PRIMER ACRYLIC.

3) After the primer has completely dried (but no sooner than 12 hours), at least 1-2 coats are applied. Before application, it is strongly recommended to read the more detailed information given in the technical data sheet of the product. 

4) Protect all tools from drying out during work breaks and wash them with water after work. Immediately wash contaminated areas with water, dried paint and its traces are difficult to remove. 

5) After the coatings have completely dried and matured (min. 24 hours, preferably 48 hours), the FN NANO functional coating can be applied according to the instructions^®

Do not apply to a water-repellent (hydrophobic) surface. 

Dilution:

Does not dilute.

Consumption:

Capacity: approx. 4.5 m² from 1 kg of paint in one layer. Yield may vary depending on the absorbency and structure of the substrate and the thickness of the applied layer. The exact yield for a specific substrate must be determined on the test area. 

Cleaning Tools:

With water - as soon as possible after use.

Packaging:

Plastic containers 5 kg.

Storage:

Minimum 2 years from date of manufacture at a temperature of +3 to +25 °C, in unopened original packaging. Before use, it is necessary to mix the mixture very thoroughly in the original packaging. For colored variants, when stored longer than 2 days from the date of production, we recommend mixing the suspension (coating) with a stick mixer after thorough mixing in the bottle (canister).
