When painting masonry, moisture mustn't get trapped. Existing moisture must be able to escape without damaging your precious paintwork. On the other hand, your masonry paint should prevent water and dirt from penetrating the film. 

​

Introducing Autentico Esterno, our award-winning damp-open and permeable masonry paint. Recognized as the Best Breathable Paint of 2022, Esterno is a testament to its exceptional quality and performance. It's not just damp-open and permeable, it's extremely so. 

​

Damp-open features are measured by assigning a Steam Diffusion factor. Esterno has a factor of 0,034, which is extremely low. The lower...the better.

​

When dry, the coating forms a protective layer that is as moisture-proof as a high-grade acrylic paint but also has the microporous and vapour-open qualities of a mineral paint. The result is an ideal protective coating, whereby the treated material keeps its properties with regarding the moisture exchange with the environment. Even trapped water due to design or construction errors can dry without causing damage.
