Sylitol® Minera

Silicate-based, quartz-filled priming and finishing coat for exterior and interior use – as per DIN 18363, section 2.4.1.


Field of Application

Suitable for filling, texture leveling, and crack filling coatings, for exterior and interior use. Applicable as priming, intermediate or finishing coat.
Sylitol® Minera is perfectly suitable for adhesion-promoting priming coats on surfaces on which coatings have been etched away by a paint stripper. Highly suitable as a priming coat before applying silicate-based coatings. Sylitol® Minera can also be used for filling small joints or surface defects and fine cracks in renders/plasters, before the application of Sylitol®  paints and renders/plasters.
Sylitol® Minera is particularly suitable as a fine-textured intermediate coating in interiors before applying creative silicate translucent glazing/scumbling coat techniques. Sylitol® Minera is suitable for protective coatings on AAC wall panels and complies with the requirements of AAC manufacturers.

Material Properties

  • Free of preservatives, solvent-free, unplasticized.
  • Weather-resistant.
  • Crack filling, high filling capacity.
  • Allows sorption.
  • Permeable to CO2
  • Highly adherent to mineral substrates due to silicification.
  • Ecologically compatible.
  • Fire classification: "Nichtbrennbar" (non-combustible), A2 as per German standard DIN 4102.
  • Free of fogging-active substances.

Material Base / Vehicle

Potassium silicate (waterglass) with organic additives, according to DIN 18 363, section 2.4.1

Packaging/Package Size

Standard Product: 8 kg, 22 kg

Colors

White

Tintable to a max. of 10 % with Histolith-Volltonfarben (colorants).
The desired texture and filling power cannot be obtained if a higher amount of colorants is added.
If more than one bucket is manually tinted, all products must be thoroughly mixed before use in order to avoid color differences. Quantities of 200 kg or more in individual colors may be ordered ready-tinted ex-factory.

Sylitol® Minera can be tinted to all current color collections via the ColorExpress tinting & mixing machine system, in light colors up to luminosity/lightness index (LI) approx. 70. Check the tinted product before applying it to avoid color differences. Always use tinted products of the same batch, when applying on seamless surfaces.
For AAC coatings the LI (reflection factor) should be above 40.
Brilliant, intensive colors may have a lower opacity (hiding/covering power). It is therefore advisable to apply a first coat in a similar hiding pastel tint, based on white. Possibly a second finishing coat may be necessary.

Storage

Keep in a cool, but frost-free place. Store product only in plastic containers and keep partially used buckets tightly closed. Shelf life: approx. 12 months.
