Thin coat is a ready mixed top coat for external use, highly breathable, high water resistance and excellent mechanical strength. Silicone render provides a high resistance to algae, fungi, mould and to atmospheric agents. The careful choice of acrylic binders and silicone, ensures good durability and a gloss finish with pearlescent effect to the water drops. Licata Silicone Render is suitable as a decorative finish in all work requiring high permeability to water vapour.

Silicone top coat can be applied to solid walls as well as lightweight construction as long as the wall has been prepared by an appropriate base coat with a reinforcing mesh.
