Siloxan Paint - Silicone Paint

Siloxane micro-coating — highly water-repellent, breathable, anti-mould, ultra-matt exterior silicone paint

Siloxan Paint Silicone Paint by Licata

Siloxan Paint is an exterior silicone paint from Licata — a siloxane micro-coating based on copolymers in aqueous dispersion, pigmentable to a wide colour range. This silicone paint combines highly water-repellent properties with excellent vapour permeability, anti-mould and algae-resistant additives, and low dirt pick-up. Specifically formulated for façade restoration, dehumidifying cycles and decorative repainting of new and existing exterior surfaces.

Features & Benefits

Why specify Siloxan Paint silicone paint?

Highly Water-Repellent

The siloxane copolymer formulation creates a continuous protective skin across the façade — repelling rain and liquid water completely whilst keeping walls dry. This silicone paint provides far superior water repellency to standard acrylic or silicate paints.

High Vapour Permeability

Despite its highly water-repellent properties, Siloxan Paint silicone paint maintains excellent vapour permeability — moisture from within the wall escapes freely. Ideal for dehumidifying cycles and breathable render systems where vapour transmission is essential.

Anti-Mould & Algae-Resistant

Special anti-mould additives in the formula provide long-term protection against mould and algae formation — particularly important for north-facing elevations, shaded areas and buildings in damp or polluted environments.

Low Dirt Pick-Up

The siloxane formulation gives Siloxan Paint exceptionally low dirt pick-up — ideal for façades in urban environments with high concentrations of dust, soot or pollutants where other paints quickly become discoloured.

Good Colour Durability

Combined with colouring pastes, Siloxan Paint silicone paint ensures good durability, gloss and fullness of colour over time — maintaining the decorative appearance of the façade through weathering and UV exposure.

Brush, Roller or Airless

Fine grain size allows this silicone paint to be applied manually by brush or roller, or mechanically by airless spray — giving applicators full flexibility on façade projects of any scale.

Product Description

Siloxan Paint — Exterior Silicone Paint

Siloxan Paint is Licata's exterior silicone paint — a siloxane micro-coating based on copolymers in aqueous dispersion with siliceous aggregates. Unlike silicate paints which bond through chemical silicatisation, this silicone paint protects through the inherent water-repellent properties of the siloxane copolymer binder — forming a continuous, breathable, water-shedding skin over the façade surface.

Specifically designed for façade restoration, dehumidifying cycles and aesthetic repainting of exterior surfaces, Siloxan Paint is resistant to alkaline substrates and atmospheric agents. Its special anti-mould additive system provides long-term biological protection — making it a preferred choice for exposed and north-facing elevations in the UK climate.

For new or particularly absorbent surfaces, pre-treat with Siloxan LG or Siloxan Primer. On existing surfaces showing powdering, apply Nano Primer as a surface compactor. Where mould or algae is present, pre-treat with Sanus biocide before applying this silicone paint.

Preparation

Preparing for application

1
Remove loose material: On existing surfaces remove all swollen, peeling or poorly cohesive areas and smooth the surface. The substrate must be clean, smooth and cohesive with no flaking before applying this silicone paint.
2
Treat mould or algae: Pre-treat any areas showing mould or algae with Sanus biocide before priming. Do not apply this silicone paint over active biological growth.
3
Prime the substrate: New or absorbent substrates — apply Siloxan LG or Siloxan Primer first. Existing powdering surfaces — apply Nano Primer as a surface compactor before applying Siloxan Paint.
4
Mix and dilute: Dilute with clean water — 25% for the first coat (brush/roller or airless), 20% for the second coat (brush/roller). Mix with a whisk for a few minutes until smooth and homogeneous.
Application

Applying Siloxan Paint silicone paint

1
Two or more cross-over coats: Apply by brush, roller or airless spray in cross-over layers for perfect, even coverage. Allow at least 3 hours between coats at 20°C and 70% RH.
2
Monitor open time: Highly absorbent substrates, strong draughts or high temperatures can significantly reduce open time. Constantly check that a surface film does not form before the coat is complete.
3
Protect from sun and rain: Shield sun-exposed walls during application. Protect the fresh silicone paint from direct sunlight and heavy rain for the first 48–72 hours.
4
Check colour before starting: Always verify the colour matches the specification before application. No claims regarding colour shade will be accepted after the silicone paint has been applied.
Do not apply on frozen, thawing or wet substrates, or on walls exposed to strong sunlight. Temperature must be between +5°C and +35°C. Clean tools with water immediately after use.
