Decorsil Firenze by OIKOS is a siloxanic resin based water repellent coating that offers outstanding endurance in the exteriors.
The main feature of siloxanic resins is the formation of an intense microscopic network that allows the passage of water vapor although too minute to let water molecules enter the surface. It is because of this microporosity that Decorsil is transpirant yet impermeable on the surface applied.
Siloxanic paint is a modern invention of the 1980’s. A special type of silicon resin called “Siloxanic” is used as a binder for the solid components of the paint. Siloxanic resin is a co-polymer of the monomer silicon or silicon oxide (SiO2) and organic molecules derived from carbon chemistry. The diameter of this polymer is smaller than that of water molecules thereby obstructing the path of water absorption.
The use of these resins makes it possible to combine different granulometrics and finishes with reduced color restrictions. The innovation and technology of this product is capable of providing high-end performances joining optimal transpiration with the amplified resistance to sustain external polluting agents. Decorsil is thus the ideal choice for new and historic buildings that demand preservation.
Formulated using quartz powder having grain sizes of 0.3 mm and above it allows the achievement of cloudy, antique and orange peel effects effortlessly. The product guarantee excellent resistance to the development of mold and algae and constantly remains dry and compact contributing to optimal hygiene and the reduction of energy consumption for luxury living.
Roma, Firenze, Bologna, Bologna Fine and Venezia form the comprehensive Decorsil range. In India however the most popular version is “Firenze” which is a fine-grained coating extremely versatile in its endeavor to create a bouquet of exterior finishes.
