Lota washes itself every time it rains! |
Lota's special surface repels both dirt and water
in such a way that dirt particles are attracted
into the water droplets. The droplets roll down
the wall, leaving the surface clean and dry! |

Lota stops water entering micro-cracks! |
All cement walls have micro-cracks on their
surface. Lota repels water so effectively that
water droplets 'bridge' these cracks and are
unable to enter. Ordinary paint allows water
to enter through the carcks, resulting
in paint damage. |

Lota allows walls to breathe! |
Water trapped inside cement walls is the number
one cause of paint damage in tropical regions.
Ordinary paint seals this water inside the wall.
Eventually, the water must escape, damaging the
paint surface as it does so.
Lota's advanced Silicone suface structure allows water
to evaporate out of the wall at an extremely fast rate.
Because the wall can now 'breathe', damaging water
cannot collect inside the wall. |

Lota is immune to alkaline attack! |
Cement walls are extremely alkaline. When water
trapped inside walls eventually forces its way out
through ordinary paint, it carries this corrosive
alkaline onto the paint, causing it to become chalky,
patchy and discoloured.
Lota's advanced Silicone technology makes it
chemically inert, so it is unaffected by alkaline attack. |

Lota's colours stay vivid longer! |
Lota's colours stay vivid and bright long after
ordinary paints have faded. The pigment in
ordinary paint is just part of a mixture and
therefore vulnerable to weathering and damage.
In Lota, each particle pigment is individually
surrounded by a Silicone coating. This transparent
coating protects the pigment from damage by
solar radiation, acid and alkaline attack and
atmospheric pollutants. |

Lota is ideal for heritage buildings! |
The lime plaster used on heritage buildings has
one ability modern cement render does not.
It can 'breathe', allowing damaging water to
escape. Ordinary paint will damage lime plaster
as it seals the pores. Lota has the ability to
'breathe' in the same way as the lime plaster. |
