About Beeckosil Fine

Ready-to-use one-pack silicate system with BEECK ASF® Active Silicate Formulation for façades. According with VOB/C DIN 18363 2.4.1. Ideal for mineral substrates such as lime and cement renders or plasters, concrete, brick and calcium silicate masonry. With a classic mineral profile and timeless aesthetic quality. Can be used for both conservation of listed buildings and for contemporary architecture. Beeckosil Fine contains silicifiable potassium water glass as a binder. Silicification, the chemical reaction between mineral substrate, pigments and potassium water glass does not produce a surface film, but instead a microporous inseparable unit of substrate and coating.

• ETICS

Not Suitable for:

• New brick or Mineral Surfaces (see the Beeckosil System)

Colour Selection: Beeckosil Fine is available in more than 300 absolutely non-fading mineral colour tones as produced in the BEECK colour range. The range is separated into Colour Groups 1-4. The UV resistance of mineral paints means that the colours do not fade and there shouldn’t be a discernible difference between buildings painted in the same colour at different times. If you are unsure about your colour options or choice, we also have plenty of ideas to set the ball rolling in our colour section where we have added a number of widely used colour ranges.

Application

With roller, brush or using an airless spraying method. Apply to self-contained areas with an absolutely thin coating, no overlapping and uniformly in one continuous pass as a cross coat.

Surface Preparation

Thoroughly clean old mineral coatings, brush off. Remove cracked, less adherent and film-forming old coats as pore-deep as possible. Check remaining coats for adhesion, firmness and intactness. Clean firmly adhering, matt coatings and renders. Use BEECK Fungicide according to the factory specifications to prepare surfaces infested with algae. Prime absorbent, chalking and crumbling surfaces with BEECK Fixative, thinned with 2 parts water. Highly adherent, white primer coating with BEECK Bonding Coat Fine / Coarse. In case of hairline cracks or minor structural defects, precoat the whole surface of the façade with BEECK Quartz Filler or Beeckosil Coarse, try out on a test area first
