SILRES® BS 54 is a water-dilutable, solventless emulsion of a silicone resin that serves as a binder in the manufacturing of silicone resin emulsion paints and plasters. It is specifically utilized as a binder in silicone resin emulsion paints and renders. When formulated correctly, products incorporating SILRES® BS 54 exhibit desirable characteristics such as high permeability to water vapor and CO2, low water absorption, low susceptibility to soiling, a mineral-like appearance, and an extended lifespan. Additionally, the use of SILRES® BS Additive helps achieve an excellent beading effect. For optimal protection, it is recommended to prime facades before applying paint.

Application Details
  • SILRES® BS 54 is employed as binder in silicone resin emulsion paints and renders. If formulated properly, the products made with it are characterized by high permeability to water vapor and CO2, low water absorption, low soiling tendency, a mineral appearance and long life.
  • An excellent beading effect is also achieved if a SILRES® BS Additive is used. Facades must be primed before painting for optimal protection.
  • We recommend high quality SILRES® BS primers.
