Wall paint

Potassium silicate is used in both paints and restoration for the many benefits that it offers in the application stage. Silicate paints are recommended for their breathability and as a valid alternative to lime wash. Silicate paints, because of their high permeability, are used in the restoration of damp buildings. They are given this name because they use potassium silicate as the binding agent, with a fixing action provided through the reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide.
