EWI-040 Silicone Silicate Render

The EWI Pro Silicone Silicate Render is our most popular through-coloured, polymer-modified, decorative render. This coloured render is breathable, flexible, hydrophobic and self-cleaning. Our Silicone Silicate is often used in the final stage of EWI Pro external wall insulation systems, or as a standalone topcoat render, provided the basecoat reinforcement layer is used as well. EWI-040 is available in hundreds of different colours.

EWI-040 is a decorative, thin-coat render and is available in 1.5mm grain size. It is suitable for interior or exterior surfaces but works best when applied on top of a reinforcement layer as part of our thin-coat render or insulation systems.

This product not only provides an aesthetically pleasing finish, but it also acts as a strong protective coating for the property, helping protect the underlying brickwork against weathering. This product is also breathable, so is perfect when used in conjunction with Mineral Wool EWI systems.

  • Water-repelling
  • Frost-proof
  • High elasticity
  • High vapour permeability
  • Resistant to UV rays
  • Available in 4 different grain sizes

Application

As mentioned, the Silicone Silicate Render is a ready-mix render, so it can be used straight out of the bucket and does not require mixing with water. However, we do recommend giving the render a mix prior to use to ensure an even distribution of the colour pigments. Before application, always check that the colour of the render matches your order prior to application.

Apply the render to the substrate using a trowel and then use a plastic float to generate the required texture. Remember that this is a thin coat render system, so the thickness of the render layer should match the grain size of the render chosen.

Silicone Silicate Render Application Conditions

  • Intended for application onto an EWI Pro specified basecoat
  • Substrate primers: EWI-301 Water Based Primer
  • Basecoat primers: EWI-333 Render Primer
  • Application and setting temperature (air, substrate, materials): from +5°C to +25°C.
  • Grain size distribution: 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm and 3 mm.
  • Caution! In the case of external wall insulation systems, when rendering facades with a large area, it is recommended that colours with a brightness coefficient (dispersed reflection) of at least 25% should be used. These coefficients are shown in the colour pallet of EWI Pro Insulation Systems renders and paints.

  1. Wes Plant

    Used to only use the 075 Silicone render, but my boys prefer the silicone silicate render as easier to rub up. The full silicone goes off quicker, but cause of the accelerator, you can use that with the silicone silicate and you don’t have any probs.
