Understanding Mineral Silicate Paints
WD200
December 4 @ 12:30pm
Presented by: Professional Revitalization Services
This session highlights the need for greater awareness and understanding of mineral silicate paints’ advantages. Traditional paints often fail on porous surfaces like concrete and stone due to peeling and bubbling, as they are designed to create a non-breathable, elastomeric coating. These surfaces pose coating challenges due to internal vapor pressure and damage risks. Mineral silicate paints, however, bond with and breathe alongside the substrate, providing a unique form of waterproofing that traditional paints lack. Additionally, they offer aesthetically pleasing, luminous finishes. The session will address the importance of choosing the right type of paint for different surfaces and highlight the advantages of mineral silicate paints for porous substrates.
