Earthborn Silicate Masonry Primer is a liquid primer that is VOC free and water based which allows walls to breath. Silicate Masonry Primer should be used before applying Earthborn Silicate Masonry Paint.
The Ecopro Silicate System means that all surfaces have to be primed with one coat of Earthborn Silicate Masonry Primer followed by two coats of Earthborn Silicate Masonry paint. The first coat should be diluted with 10-20% Earthborn Silicate Masonry Primer.
The paint and primer when combined together creates a weather and water resistant barrier which allows the building to breath.
Approximately 5 sq m per litre depending on surface.
Apply with a brush or roller in a thin, even coat.
For colourwash: Apply several coats in different colour shades – see below for Colouring. Allow each coat to dry before applying next coat.
Colouring:
Ecopro Silicate Primer can be tinted using Earthborn Pigments. Never use oil or acrylic artists colours or commercial tints. Use no more than 200g pigment per 1 litre Silicate Primer. Mix a small amount of Silicate Primer with dry pigment (making a note of the amounts used) and mix well to create a smooth paste. Add to the Silicate Primer until the desired colour is obtained and stir vigorously until completely blended.
Note: When pigments are added, the Silicate Primer must be used immediately to avoid colour changes.
Wash tools with warm water.
Do not use or store in extremes of temperature and protect from frost.
