Description
Gjöco AquaShield Siloxane Masonry Paint is developed to provide masonry with long-lasting and reliable protection. The paint helps preserve the appearance of the wall over time by preventing flaking and reducing the risk of dirt and contaminants adhering to the surface.
The siloxane-based technology creates an effective barrier against rain and moisture, while allowing the wall to retain its ability to breathe. The result is a surface that resists weather impact without trapping moisture – a crucial characteristic for durable masonry.
- Diffusion-open and full-matt
- Does not flake
- Dirt and water-repellent surface
- Based on silicone emulsion
Product description
Gjöco AquaShield Siloxane Masonry Paint is designed to protect and preserve the appearance of masonry for a long time. The paint can be used on all types of render, concrete, and foundation walls, and helps reduce the risk of flaking while keeping the surface cleaner for longer, thanks to its dirt-repellent effect.
The advanced 2-in-1 technology combines high water repellency with good diffusion openness. This means that rain and moisture are kept out, while any moisture from within can escape through the paint film – a crucial characteristic for healthy and durable masonry.

Notes
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. If multiple containers with different production numbers are used, these should be mixed together for an even result. Do not add any foreign oils or additives.
In unfavorable drying conditions, such as high humidity, fog, rain, or low temperatures, temporary shiny or slightly sticky streaks may occur. These consist of water-soluble substances and normally disappear after repeated or heavier rain. The paint's protective function is not affected.
