Interior Silicate White Paint FN® Sensitive Silicate

This is a special silicate coating whose protective functions are based on the use of the physical phenomenon of photocatalysis and on other physical properties of the materials contained in it. Unlike chemical preparations, the functionality of the coating is practically inexhaustible. Functional penetration coating FN^® Sensitive Silicate  is an aqueous suspension of patent-protected mineral substances with a high content of photoactive titanium dioxide (TiO2). The high content of TiO2 and the optimized mineral binder in the coating layer guarantee extremely effective protection of the substrate. It is also intended for extreme conditions in healthcare, industrial production and toxic operations. We supply it in a basic white form and it cannot be colored.

How Does FN^® SENSITIVE SILICATE Silicate Coating 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. In white and very fine pastel shades, the paint can also be used for coating plasterboard or gypsum fiber boards, etc. 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. 

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...).

Advantages of Silicate Coating FN^® 3 Sensitive Silicate:

• Preparation of the substrate for self-cleaning coatings FN^® NANO.
  
• Silicate water-dilutable interior paint - White shade.
• Reduced risk of allergic reactions.
• Higher resistance of the coating against fungi.
• Does not contain plasticizers and heavy metals.
• Without the addition of biocides and formaldehyde.
• Extremely low content of volatile organic substances (VOC ≤0.1g/l), without APEO, without heavy metals, without the addition of biocides, without perfume.
• The active component of the coating suspension does not harm the environment or human health.
• Application by brush, roller, small areas by brush.

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), unsalted

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 

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< sup>® 

Appearance of Coatings

FN^® SENSITIVE SILICATE is white and has a relatively high covering 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!

Composition:

Interiors

The functional coating FN NANO^® 3 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.

The functional coating FN NANO^® 3 can ensure a healthier environment both in areas where there are a large number of people (shopping centers, airport halls, office buildings...), and  at your home, in school facilities 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.

Method of Applying Nano Coating FN^® SENSITIVE SILICATE

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

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

3) After the priming coat has completely dried (but no sooner than after 6 hours), 1 – 3 (depending on the substrate) cover coats are applied with properly mixed paint diluted from 0.1 up to 0.5 liters of water per 1 kg of paint (depending on the absorbency of the substrate and the initial rheology of the paint). Before application, it is strongly recommended to read the more detailed information provided 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 the 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^{< strong>®}

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

Dilution:

Silicate water-dilutable interior paint.

Consumption:

About 6 – 10 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. 

Tool Cleaning:

With water - as soon as possible after use

Baling:

5 kg plastic containers

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). The paint must not freeze, protect from direct sunlight.
