licata.coat

Coloured thick coatings for decoration, renovation and protection of the facade. The licata.coat lines guarantee excellent coverage, ease of use, water repellency, elasticity, resistance to UV rays, breathability and cleanability.

Licata paste coatings are water-based dispersion pastes. They can be applied using a trowel, a roller or a texture sprayer and create a single, robust finished layer that produces optimal reflective and thermal insulation properties which ensure both functionality and efficiency.

Licata paste coatings exhibit high elasticity which ensures a perfect seal by fending off the development of micro-cracks on the surface of the wall and roof. Licata paste coatings also provide notable acoustic damping and can be used to create decorative elements such as those you would typically associate with structural plaster.

Paste coatings from Licata can also be modified if you wish to increase their viscosity and allow for longer periods of time when the container can be left open without the product being negatively affected. That said, our paste coatings have been scientifically composed and should not be altered in any way other than to add water for the above-stated purposes.

The following are just some of our leading-edge paste coating solutions.

Licata Idrosil Exterior Mineral Micro-Coating

Use Licata Idrosil Exterior Mineral Micro-Coating for the decoration of external surfaces on existing residential or commercial structures. This micro-coating is recommended for use on cured substrates that have undergone at least 4 weeks of curing time. Those would include lime and cementitious-based residential finishes, gypsum (following the application of the appropriate primer) as well as surfaces that had previously undergone standard painting. This leading-edge paste coating is generally best-suited for painted surfaces that call for a finish with both waterproofing and high-transpiring qualities.

Licata Nanosil Primer

Licata Nanosil Primer exhibits outstanding water vapour permeability and adhesion, while also being photocatalytic and self-cleaning. Based on stabilised potassium silicate it exhibits high adhesive strength, elasticity and breathability.

Licata Elasto Paint

Licata Elasto Paint is one of our micro-coatings based on a proprietary mix of special acrylic resins in an aqueous dispersion. It is easy to apply and exhibits outstanding flow properties and waterproofing capabilities. It is designed and formulated to address cracks, plaster cobwebs, microcracks and cracks derived from settling.

Licata Elasto Paint is intended to provide protection against the carbonation of concrete. This is important because carbonation leads to a drop in the pH level of the pore solution in the concrete. This causes the passive layer covering and protecting rebar from corrosion to become unstable.

Licata Elasto Paint also displays impressive resistance to ageing, freezing and de-icing salts. And because the formulation contains a proven anti-mildew additive you also get enhanced resistance to assaults from fungi, algae and a variety of moulds.

And finally, in spite of the fact that it displays a high degree of elasticity Licata Elasto Paint exhibits low dirt retention due to the inclusion of an elastomeric copolymer which reacts to sunlight by increasing surface hardness without compromising elasticity.

Licata Decorative Silicone Paint

Silicone is a man-made polymer used as an essential raw material in the paint and coatings industry. It is highly prized for its weather resistance, non-toxicity, resistance to mould, algae and fungi, resistance to chemicals, and water-repellent qualities. Licata Decorative Silicone Paint exhibits all these qualities as well as being able to adhere to a wide variety of substrates and having myriad internal and external applications.

In addition, Licata Decorative Silicone Paint demonstrates a number of other important features, including its ability to repel dirt, dust and airborne contaminants, the fact that it adheres well to new and weathered surfaces, its high degree of breathability and its outstanding vapour permeability.

Licata Decorative Silicone Paint is versatility incarnate. As mentioned above it can be effectively applied to a wide array of substrates both indoors and outdoors. It is especially effective on cementitious substrates that have undergone at least 4 weeks of curing time as is typically the case with tunnels, underpasses and other outdoor concrete structures.

Licata Silsan Colour

Licata Silsan Colour is a waterproof, mould-resistant acryl-siloxane paste coating for decorating facades that is notable for its smooth, soft and uniform finish. Licata Silsan Colour is highly water repellent due to its balance of siloxanes and acrylic polymers, exhibits outstanding adhesion strength which makes it compatible with most substrates used in construction and is available in a wide variety of colours.
