Features of acrylate facade paints
Thanks to the wide variety of acrylate products, many problems associated with facade finishing can be solved. The most famous and sought-after material from this series is the paint “Caparol Amphibolin” (Amphibolin), which received only positive customer reviews. Product different:
- resistance to aggressive gases and alkalis;
- excellent moisture resistance;
- good filling ability.
The coating does not interfere with the diffusion of water vapor and is easy to process.
An equally popular product with positive reviews is Cap-elast Unitop paint, which has the ability to maintain elasticity even at low temperatures (down to -20 ° C). When exposed to UV radiation, it forms a molecular network. Thanks to this, the facade, under extreme temperature conditions, is protected from atmospheric influences and air polluting chemicals.
The structure of the material is such that it allows us to fully solve the problem of cracks on the surface of the building walls. The elastic components of the mixture are able to penetrate into all cracks, creating a remedial coating.
Another advantage of Cap-elast Unitop paint is its ability to allow vapor to pass through. Product consumption is 250-300 ml/m2 when finishing a smooth surface. When painting a rough surface, material consumption increases.
Properties of acrylate paints for facades
The company offers acrylate products in a wide range. They help solve various problems associated with facade finishing. The product Caparol Amphibolin is very popular among consumers . This product has:
- High resistance to humidity.
- Excellent filling ability.
- Resistant to aggressive substances such as alkalis.
- Air permeability.
- Ease of processing.
Another equally popular product is Cap-elast Unitop paint, which does not lose its elasticity even at a temperature of -20°C. In hot weather, under the influence of direct sunlight, the product forms a molecular network. All these properties indicate the product’s ability to protect the façade of a building from the negative effects of the environment.
If microcracks form on the façade of a building, the elastic components of the paint material penetrate into the damage and form a remedial coating. This material is also breathable. The calculation is taken from the characteristics of the surface: for a smooth surface you will need about 300 ml per square meter. Uneven and rough surfaces will require more paint.
Dispersion façade products are represented by three main products in the company:
- Acryl-Fassadenweis.
- Muresko-plus.
- Amphisil.
Muresko-plus paint
This type of finishing material is used most often . This is explained by many advantages:
- Possibility of use, regardless of climatic conditions.
- Resistant to atmospheric influences: precipitation and wind, ultraviolet radiation.
- High ability to bond with the painted surface.
- Protecting the foundation of the building from excess moisture.
- Breathability.
Muresko-plus paint
Of all the materials in this group, this paint is used most often. And this is not surprising, because, according to customer reviews, it has many advantages:
- Muresko-plus paint can be used in any climatic conditions.
- The material is able to withstand adverse weather conditions and is resistant to wind and precipitation.
- It is resistant to UV radiation, forming a durable and reliable coating on the surface.
- It has a fairly high adhesive ability.
- Protects the base from moisture.

Muresko-plus paint can be applied to smooth and structured surfaces.
The average material consumption when painting smooth surfaces is 200 ml/m2.
Scope of application, for which surfaces it is suitable
Caparol paint has universal qualities. In other words, it can be used on almost all building surfaces: concrete, metal, plaster, wood, glass wallpaper, drywall, etc. In addition, the range allows you to select a product designed for use on a specific surface.
Products are alkali resistant. This promotes a reliable coating on any type of plaster. Sometimes a preliminary primer is required. It stabilizes the base of the surface.
The range allows you to select a product intended for use on a specific surface.
Features of paint based on polymer resins
Caparol paint, based on polymer binders with a low solvent content, is especially suitable for finishing facades with not very durable surfaces (if, for example, a layer of plaster is crumbling or there is an old paint coating).
The advantages of materials in this group include:
- high adhesive ability;
- resistance to temperature changes;
- ensuring reliable protection of walls.
Each type of material in this series is endowed with its own properties.
For example, wall paint “Caparol Duparol-W” with algaecide and fungicidal additives is perfect for facades affected by fungi and moss.
Dupa-Haftgrund paint has an excellent strengthening effect. Most often it is used for finishing walls of facades with peeling coatings, porous surfaces, or for priming with subsequent painting.
According to user reviews, the main advantage of this material is its high adhesive properties and leveling ability.
The average paint consumption of this group is 200–250 ml/m2.
Features of paint based on siloxane resins
This group of materials includes paints:
- AmphiSilan-Volltonfarbe;
- AmphiSilan;
- AmphiSilan-Streichfueller;
- special primer material.
Paint based on siloxane resins is diluted with water. The material in its composition does not contain solvents and does not emit emissions harmful to health.
According to reviews, the main advantages of materials of this type include:
- high resistance to atmospheric influences;
- transmission of water vapor;
- speed of drying;
- good filling ability.
The most famous representative of this group of materials is AmphiSilan paint. This material is well suited for finishing facades with plaster and mineral coating.
Average paint consumption is from 150 to ml/m2 for coating smooth substrates. The binder is a resin, similar in structure to quartz. The coating formed when using paint allows for maximum vapor passage. But at the same time it reliably protects the facade of the house from rain.
Such “Caparol” paints, the palette of which is very diverse, have increased resistance to chemicals, are easy to maintain, durable and are suitable for cladding public and residential buildings. They can also be used for restoration work.

Facade
Surfaces that are permanently exposed to serious environmental influences (precipitation, wind, dust, temperature changes, etc.) require special coating. For such work, Caparol's range of paints is presented in the façade line. It has many advantages:
- High level of durability;
- Elimination of cracks and peeling with a guarantee of up to 10 years;
- Intuitive use;
- Color preservation.
For such work, Caparol's range of paints is presented in the façade line.
Interior
When construction work is planned indoors, the product is selected based on the needs and tasks. For rooms where the walls are frequently washed, choose a paint product with a high level of wear resistance (PremiumClean, Amphibolin, etc.).
For rooms in which the walls are frequently washed, choose a paint product with a high level of wear resistance.
Paints of the second class of wear resistance are presented in the range of PremiumFine and IndekoPlus models. They are used for indoor paintwork in kindergartens, schools, hospitals, etc.

The Sensitiy and Malerit Basis models are suitable for rooms that are cleaned using strong detergents.
Applying paint
Before you start painting the wall, you need to prepare the base. When painting concrete or plaster, make sure the surface is dry and hard. The base is cleaned of dust and dirt. The previously painted surface gets rid of the loose layer of paint. Metal parts are cleaned of rust.
Now you need to decide on the number of layers of façade paint to apply (paint in 1–3 layers). If the base is smooth and even, it is better to cover it with two layers in order to save paint material consumption. The first layer is a primer. When applying it, it is recommended to mix the paint with a special primer gel and water (no more than 5% of the paint volume). With a three-layer painting system, a primer is applied, after it dries, 2 layers of paint are applied. The top layer of paint can be diluted with water (no more than 15%). This will make it possible to make the layer thinner and reduce material consumption. The three-layer painting system allows you to better protect the surface from moisture penetration. It should be remembered that each subsequent layer is applied only after the previous one has dried. This time is indicated on the package and is approximately 10–12 hours.
