Graphiato, also known as Graffiato, is a type of decorative paint or coating used for walls. While I couldn't find a detailed history of Graphiato, here's what I know about its features and applications:
What is Graphiato?
Graphiato is a synthetic render cm finish that can be applied directly to most fair-face surfaces like concrete, plaster, and brickwork. It's a ready-mixed coating made of high-quality exterior durable Styrene Acrylic Co-polymer emulsion and weather-resistant pigments, with specially graded silica granules.¹
Key Features:
Breathable film: Allows trapped moisture to escape from the paint surface and substrate.
Fungal resistance: Formulated with fungicides and algaecides to reduce efflorescence, resist alkaline hydrolysis, and tropical fungus, algae, and mold growth.
UV resistance: Excellent ultraviolet resistance and color retention.
Washable: Easy to clean and maintain.
Fast-drying: Can be applied to any surface and dries quickly.
Applications:
- Decorating all types of cementitious or lime-based render.
- Walls smoothed over with smoothing products.
- Decorating old, well-bonded paintwork.
- Decorating concrete walls.
Availability:
Graphiato paint is available in Ghana, specifically in cities like Adenta etc
