EWI-007 Lotus Effect Masonry Paint is an advanced silicone masonry paint designed for exterior walls where a highly water-repellent, breathable and durable decorative finish is required. Inspired by the lotus flower effect, it creates a hydrophobic surface that helps repel water, reduce dirt pick-up and support a cleaner-looking façade over time. The formulation also includes specialist additives to help improve resistance to biological overgrowth, making it especially well suited to exposed elevations and more challenging external environments.
Intended Uses
EWI-007 Lotus Effect Masonry Paint is intended for use on exterior façades as a decorative and protective masonry coating. It is suitable for renovation work and for use on properly prepared external wall surfaces, including concrete and mineral backgrounds. The product can also be used as the finishing coat within suitable render and external wall insulation systems. It is especially suitable for elevations exposed to moisture, shade or biological growth, including areas near trees, water and poorly sunlit surfaces.
