Building facades degrade rapidly with exposure to moisture,
water, temperature variations, UV radiations, and many other exterior factors.
Silicone Emulsions for Decorative Coatings are a good solution to achieve excellence
in facade protection, and to keep good aesthetic properties, avoiding
blistering, chalking or cracking.

on facade requirements regarding:
As long-lasting protection and aesthetics are two key
requirements of today's facade coatings, paint formulators have to
constantly optimize their formulas in order to achieve the highest levels of
performance. Adding silicone emulsion, either as a co-binder or as an additive,
to the base paint is an interesting solution.
Silicone Emulsions for Decorative Coatings have a good
weatherability and durability. In the following pages, different types of
silicone-based paints, i.e. siloxanic
paints and silicone
additive paints will be studied, and the
benefits of Silicone Emulsions will be discussed.

In order to better understand Silicone Emulsions for Decorative Coatings's mechanism of action in
coatings, silicone chemistry
will be also briefly reviewed.
