Volvox ‘External mineral masonry paint’
External masonry paint
'Volvox External Mineral Masonry Paint, together with Volvox Silicate Primer, is designed for use on all unpainted exterior surfaces such, stone, concrete, render and other mineral surfaces.
Volvox Exterior Mineral Masonry Paint is a silicate-based paint that chemically bonds with the substrate producing long-lasting coatings. Its natural make-up allows surfaces to breathe allowing trapped moisture to escape instead of harming the paint film and subsequently the building. It contains a high proportion of solid material resulting in excellent obliteration. Based on natural minerals and resins.
Colours: Available in a base mixture of brilliant white. For coloured masonry paint tint with one or more of the 36 Volvox Natural Earth & Mineral Pigments. N.B. Volvox Silicate Primer should be used when mixing pigments into the emulsion, not water.'
