112 5 Silancolor Tonachino PLUS by Mapei Mapei’s Silancolor Tonachino PLUS is a fibre-reinforced silicon resin-based wall coating, ideal for internal and external surfaces. The double synergic action carried out by the components contained in Silancolor Tonachino PLUS eliminates the causes to conditions favourable to the growth of micro-organisms, and instead offer excellent protection for the façade due to it containing a special agent that controls growth. Silancolor Tonachino PLUS is particularly ideal for protecting deteriorating or north-facing facades due to its excellent repellence to water and its resistance to UV rays, cracking, and ageing. It combines the advantages of mineral coating materials for high breathability, as well as those of synthetic coatings for a uniform colour, and excellent adhesion to old paintwork (depending on its condition).
