Earthborn Silicate Masonry Paint

Ecopro Silicate Masonry Paint is a highly durable mineral paint that produces a water and weather-resistant barrier that also enables the building to "breathe".

It can be used on interior and exterior mineral surfaces, e.g. stone, masonry, concrete, pebble dash, plaster and sound silicate-based paint surfaces, and it's especially suitable for renovations.

Surface must be clean, dry, absorbent and free from dust, dirt, grease or any other surface contaminants. Refer to the downloadable PDF Product Information for detailed instructions.

General preparation before priming

• This product should not be applied over conventional plastic masonry paints. Some clay surfaces may require special treatment.
• Remove any loose materials
• Fill any gaps, cracks and holes with a suitable filler
• All coats of water-soluble distempers and lime paints must be removed or washed back to a sound surface
• All other surfaces should be washed down thoroughly
• Take care to mask all adjacent glass, metal and ceramic before use

Prime surfaces

• Earthborn Silicate Primer - for bare, absorbent mineral surfaces. This forms a permanent, highly breathable chemical bond that becomes part of the surface itself
• Earthborn Bonding Primer - for previously painted or less absorbent surfaces. This helps the paint grip firmly by creating a strong mechanical bond

Always do a test area before starting any project to access product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

Do not use if the working temperature is below 8°C or expected to fall below 8°C within 24 hours of application.

1. Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during application
2. Apply Silicate Masonry Paint with a brush, roller or suitable spray system in thin, even coats
3. Apply 2 coats, allowing 6 - 12 hours between coats depending on environmental temperature & humidity
4. The Silicate System requires that the first coat of Masonry Paint be diluted with 10-20% of Silicate Primer
