Remmers Color LA (formerly Silicone Paint LA) is a pigmented silicone resin emulsion paint coating containing a film preservative to protect surfaces at risk of infestation with algae or fungi.

Because of the product’s characteristics, especially in combination with Impregnation Primer, Remmers Color LA can be used to produce water repelling, highly water vapour diffusion-open, protective coatings on mineral building materials. Since it can also be formulated as a translucent coating and because of its mineral character, Remmers Color LA is especially used on natural stone, a difficult coating substrate, in heritage preservation areas.

Remmers Color LA can also be used as a restoration coating on load-bearing silicate, silicone and matt, weathered dispersion coatings, synthetic resin renders and functioning, bonded heat insulation systems.

It is not suitable for use on plastic, thermoplastic and elastic coating systems. These systems must be completely removed first with Remmers Graffiti Remover.

Remmers Color LA, which is normally used for new construction and in industrial areas, is chosen more and more often as a coloured protective coating for protected historical objects because of its micro-porous, mineral-like characteristics.

The coating has the following properties:

• High water vapour and carbon dioxide permeability
• Positive influence on the heat balance of buildings in compliance with DIN 4108
• Does not prevent a carbonation reaction
• No loss of strength because of drying out too quickly, especially on renders in compliance with DIN 18 550, P I and P II.
• Highly tight against liquid water (driving rain and splash water)
• Does not darken when wet
• No moisture penetration under extreme weather conditions
• Does not swell

Building materials protected with Remmers Color LA absorb only very little water when it rains and these small amounts are easily given off in dry periods. Because of this, the building material remains essentially dry and damage caused by moisture is avoided.
