Question 1

How can I permanently eliminate mold from walls?

Accepted Answer

To resolve the mold problem, we recommend a two-step cycle: first treat the contaminated surface with BIOSAN (ready-to-use anti-mold solution) to sanitize the substrate. Subsequently, apply specific paints such as P.A. 3000 (bactericidal breathable) or ATERMICA (anti-condensation with glass microspheres), ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.

Question 2

How do I treat a wall stained by smoke, nicotine or soot?

Accepted Answer

To cover difficult stains such as smoke and soot, it is necessary to use NICOSTOP, an odorless pliolite paint specifically for these problems. It is ready to use and guarantees perfect isolation of the stain, preventing its reappearance.

Question 3

What does it mean that a paint is CAM certified?

Accepted Answer

CAM stands for Minimum Environmental Criteria. Saber CAM certified products (like the ANTARES breathable paint or the SANUS washable one) meet the requirements of the Ministerial Decree 23/06/2022 for environmental sustainability, mandatory for public contracts and recommended for a healthier and more ecological home.

Question 4

What is the difference between breathable and washable water-based paint?

Accepted Answer

Breathable paints (e.g., ANTARES, MIZAR) allow the exchange of water vapor and are ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and ceilings to prevent condensation. Washable paints (e.g., ALTAIR, SANUS) have a higher resin content, are more resistant to dirt and cleaning, and are ideal for living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms.

Question 5

Do you have products that purify indoor air?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SANUS is our innovative antibacterial washable water-based paint. It is formulated with silver ions and 'formaldehyde-capture' technology, ISO 22196 certified. It helps break down indoor pollutants making the air healthier.

Question 6

How should the insulating fixative be diluted?

Accepted Answer

Our concentrated water-based insulators, both ISOLANTE VINILICO and ISOLANTE ACRILICO, have a very high yield and must be diluted with water in a ratio of 1 to 6 (1 liter of product + 6 liters of water). Always apply on a dry and clean wall.

Question 7

What is the average yield of your wall paints?

Accepted Answer

The yield depends on the substrate and the product. On average: a Washable like ALTAIR covers about 95/105 sqm per 14L can (two coats). A Breathable like ANTARES covers about 80/90 sqm per 14L can. Always consult the specific technical data sheet.

Question 8

Can I apply your paints directly on plasterboard?

Accepted Answer

On plasterboard we always recommend a coat of acrylic insulating fixative to uniform absorption. Subsequently, for an excellent and uniform result, the use of COLOSSEUM OPACO is ideal, a specific masking paint that hides joints imperfections.

Question 9

Do you sell directly to private individuals?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at our headquarters in Viadana (MN) in Via Caduti sul Lavoro 4, the Company Outlet is active and open to the public, where you can buy the entire range of products with dedicated technical advice.

Question 10

Do you make sample colors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely yes. We have advanced tinting systems to reproduce any color from color charts, international decks (NCS, RAL) or a customized sample requested by the customer.

Question 11

For exteriors, do you recommend quartz or siloxane paints?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the needs. Quartz paints (SABERQUARZ) are excellent for filling and making facades uniform with micro-cracks. Siloxane paints (MUROXAN) offer maximum breathability and water repellency, keeping walls dry and clean longer.

Question 12

How can I solve condensation problems on perimeter walls?

Accepted Answer

For cold perimeter walls subject to condensation, the best solution is ATERMICA. Thanks to hollow glass microspheres, it creates a barrier that reduces the surface thermal shock, preventing the formation of condensation water and therefore mold.

Question 13

Do you have enamels for floors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our industry line includes specific enamels for industrial concrete flooring, both single-component and epic-component epoxies, resistant to forklift traffic and oils.

Question 14

Are wood products water or solvent-based?

Accepted Answer

We offer both solutions. We have a complete line of odorless water-based impregnating agents and finishes for interiors and exteriors, and a traditional solvent line for those who need deep penetration on very exposed woods.

Question 15

I've heard of the Termocap system: what is it about?

Accepted Answer

Termocap is our line of products dedicated to the thermal coat system, which includes adhesives, smoothing agents, and reinforcement meshes certified for building thermal insulation.
