BREATHEX / PRODUCT GUIDE
Start with the wall.
A compatible, sound and correctly prepared surface is the foundation of the mineral silicate system.
Inspect & prepare
Check substrate soundness, porosity and existing coatings. Clean and repair the surface. Incompatible organic paint films may need removal. Confirm the selected system before application.
Interior application reference
The supplied interior guide permits first-coat dilution up to 10% if required, a second coat after 4–6 hours, and seven days for the silicate reaction. Confirm exterior application guidance separately.
Indicative coverage per coat
| Masonry or brick | 52.7–65.7 sq ft/L |
|---|---|
| Natural stone | 59.2–72.1 sq ft/L |
| Cast / precast concrete | 72.1–86.1 sq ft/L |
Actual coverage varies with texture, porosity and application. Use current product-specific guidance for your site.

Ask about product information ↗BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Good questions.
Clearer decisions.
Can mineral silicate paint be applied over any old paint?
Compatibility depends on the substrate and existing coating. Organic paint films can prevent the mineral bond. Share the existing finish with our team before specifying the system.
Can I rely on the colour shown on my screen?
Use digital colours to explore and shortlist. Confirm your final selection with a physical sample under the lighting and conditions of your project.
Which preparation does Rust_O_Paint need?
The TDS calls for removal of grease, contamination, loose paint, rust and mill scale. Galvanized steel and aluminium require suitable cleaning. Read the complete TDS for your substrate.
How do I request project guidance?
Send your city, substrate, existing coating, approximate area and clear surface photographs through the contact page.
