The product does not harm the environment and is completely harmless to humans and animals. All paints are marked with a special environmental mark “Blue Angel”, which is awarded in Germany by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency, and the facade paint “Kaparol” and other materials are marked with the “Green Ecological Flower” emblem.
When comparing products "Kaparol" with the finishing materials of other companies, you can see that in the composition of conventional enamels there are solvents up to 50%. A silicate and dispersion facade paint "Kaparol" contains 0-2% solvents.
Using the products of this campaign allows you to solve all environmental problems, to protect people performing paint work, to make further living in the room pleasant and safe.
The color palette (fan) “Kaparol Color” contains more than 180 shades. It presents popular natural colors such as basalt, apricot, cognac, pomegranate and others.
Thanks to all these advantages, Caparol products have only positive reviews.
Features of acrylate facade paints
Due to the wide variety of Kaparol acrylate products, it is possible to solve many problems associated with facade decoration. The most famous and sought-after material in this series is Kaparol Amphibolin paint, which received only positive customer reviews. The product is different:
- resistance to aggressive gases and alkalis;
- excellent indicators of resistance to moisture;
- good filling ability.
The coating does not impede 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 (up to -20 ° C). Under the influence of 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 you to fully solve the problem with cracks on the surface of the walls of the building. The elastic components of the mixture are able to penetrate all cracks, creating a sanitation coating.
Another advantage of Cap-elast Unitop is its ability to pass fumes. Product consumption 250-300 ml / m 2 when finishing a smooth surface. When painting a rough surface, the consumption of material increases.
Dispersion facade paints
This series includes three main products:
- Acryl-Fassadenweis;
- Muresko-plus;
- Amphisil.
Muresko-plus paint
Of all the materials in this group, this paint is used most often. And this is not surprising, because it, according to customer reviews, has many advantages:
- Muresko-plus paint can be used in any climatic conditions.
- The material is able to withstand adverse weather conditions, 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.
- Walls covered with such material are able to “breathe” and do not accumulate moisture.
Muresko-plus can be applied to a smooth and structured surface.
The average consumption of material when painting smooth surfaces is 200 ml / m 2 .
Features of polymer resin paint
Paint “Kaparol” 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 crumbles or there is an old paint coating).
The advantages of materials in this group include:
- high adhesive ability;
- resistance to temperature extremes;
- providing reliable wall protection.
Each type of material in this series is endowed with its own properties.
For example, Kaparol Duparol-W wall paint with algicidal and fungicidal additives is perfect for facades affected by fungi and moss.
Dupa-Haftgrund has an excellent firming effect. Most often it is used for decorating walls of facades with exfoliating coatings, porous surfaces or for priming with subsequent painting.
According to user reviews, the main advantage of this material is its high adhesive performance and leveling ability.
The average paint consumption of this group is 200–250 ml / m 2 .
Features of paint based on siloxane resins
This group of materials includes paints:
- AmphiSilan-Volltonfarbe;
- AmphiSilan;
- AmphiSilan-Streichfueller;
- special primer material.
Siloxane resin based paint is diluted with water. The material in its composition does not contain solvents and does not emit harmful emissions.
According to reviews, the main advantages of materials of this type include:
- high resistance to weathering;
- water vapor transmission;
- 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 stucco and mineral coating.
The average consumption of paint from 150 to ml / m 2 for coatings of smooth substrates. Resin, similar in structure to quartz, acts as a binder. The coating formed by using paint allows maximum vapor passage. But at the same time reliably protects the facade of the house from rain.
Such Kaparol paints, the palette of which is very diverse, are highly resistant to chemicals, easy to care for, durable and suitable for cladding public and residential buildings. They can also be used for restoration work.
Silicate materials
This group includes, in addition to non-dispersion and dispersion paint materials on a silicate base, also primers. All products are united by the name Siliton and have silicate binders, which make it possible to obtain a durable coating with excellent performance characteristics.
Paints of this group do not hold couples, allow the walls of the house to "breathe". In addition, they do not leak moisture and provide reliable protection to the base. Widely used in the decoration and restoration of buildings with natural stone and brick foundations.

Paint application
Before you start painting the wall, you must prepare the base. When painting concrete or plaster, make sure that the surface is dry and hard. The base is cleaned of dust, dirt. Previously painted surface gets rid of the lagging paint layer. Metal parts are cleaned from rust.
Now you need to determine the number of applied layers of facade paint (painted in 1-3 layers). If the base is smooth and even - it is better to cover with two layers in order to save the consumption of paint material. The first layer is a primer. When applying it, it is recommended to mix the paint with a special primer gel and water (not more than 5% of the paint volume). With a three-layer paint system, a primer is applied, after it dries, 2 layers of paint are applied. The top coat of paint can be diluted with water (no more than 15%). That will make it possible to make the layer thinner and reduce material consumption. A three-layer paint system allows you to better protect the surface from moisture. It should be remembered that each subsequent layer is applied only after the previous one dries. This time is indicated on the package and is approximately 10-12 hours.
