KO-174 Elcon — silicone facade enamel for concrete and metal
Vapour-permeable silicone enamel for facades, concrete, equipment and steel structures; the grey-silver version withstands 400 °C.

Among Elcon’s silicone enamels, KO-868 is aimed at severe conditions: metal equipment at high humidity and temperature, oil and gas pipelines, chimneys, contact with petroleum products and mineral oils in the range from −60 °C to +700 °C. The coating withstands at least 48 h of static exposure to water, petrol and industrial oil and at least 3 cycles of alternating heating to 600 °C and water. No primer is needed; packaging is 25 kg.
