Why is it such an advantage that silicone resin emulsion paint is permeable to water vapor, but at the same time water-repellent (beading effect)?
Because the paint is permeable to water vapor, the masonry is able to breathe. The beading effect prevents water absorption. The combination of these two properties makes silicone resin emulsion paint the prime coating system for facades, and is the reason for their extremely high durability and dirt-repellent effect.
