Silicone resin emulsion paints (SREPs) rank among the most modern coating systems and offer unparalleled advantages when applied to new or undamaged facades or during the course of renovation or repair work. Because these paints combine the special properties of mineral and of polymer-bound coatings, they protect facades reliably for a long time. Moreover, due to their mineral appearance, coatings of silicone resin emulsion paints offer compelling advantages for the design of facades in the private, public and industrial sectors or for the conservation and repair of historic buildings under preservation order.
