Elastocolor Tonachino Plus is a fibre-reinforced elastomeric coating which, thanks to its high elasticity, including at low temperatures, has the capacity to follow and absorb small deformations in substrates. Also, the fibres contained in the product form an interwoven strengthening matrix, similar to “non-woven” fabric, with the capacity to withstand deformations in the coating and to hide any hairline cracks in the finishing layer.

Elastocolor Tonachino Plus also contains silicone resins, which give substrates high water repellence combined with good vapour permeability. The combined action of the silicone and elastomeric acrylic polymers form a film with exceptional adhesion, strength, protection, durability and colour stability and very low dirt pick-up.

Elastocolor Tonachino Plus is resistant to the growth of mould and algae, and may be used for decorating buildings located in particularly damp climates favourable to the growth of such micro-organisms. A typical example is when painting a north-facing façades.

Elastocolor Tonachino Plus adheres perfectly to all types of traditional render and to old, well-adhered paintwork. The water repellence of the product protects substrates from chemical attack, makes them much less susceptible to dirt retention and provides them with excellent resistance to UV rays and ageing, characteristics which remain stable for a very long time.

Apart from protecting substrates, Elastocolor Tonachino Plus forms an attractive, rustic finish. It is available in a wide range of colours obtained using the ColorMap® automatic tinting system.

Recommendations & Limitations

• Do not apply Elastocolor Tonachino Plus directly on surfaces where mould or algae are present. Such micro-organisms must always be removed from surfaces beforehand with Silancolor Cleaner Plus followed by the application of a coat of Silancolor Primer Plus or Silancolor Base Coat Plus
• Do not apply Elastocolor Tonachino Plus on damp substrates or on substrates which are not completely cured
• Do not apply Elastocolor Tonachino Plus if the temperature is lower than 5°C or higher than 35°C
• Do not apply Elastocolor Tonachino Plus if the level of humidity is higher than 85%
• Do not apply Elastocolor Tonachino Plus if it is about to rain, in windy weather or if there is direct sunlight
• Do not apply Elastocolor Tonachino Plus on de-humidifying render
• Refer to the “Safety instructions for preparation and application” section in the data sheet
