San Marco introduces Neptunus DryComfort: the new finish that enhances interiors while protecting them from damp

In damp environments, the choice of paint plays a crucial role not only from a decorative perspective, but above all in terms of functionality and structural protection. Rising damp is one of the most common and damaging problems affecting buildings: especially in rooms in contact with the ground or with poor ventilation, such as cellars, groundwater rises through building materials and, as it evaporates, deposits soluble salts on the surface that crystallize. This process generates internal pressure that causes blistering, efflorescence and plaster detachment. San Marco has developed solutions specifically designed to tackle this issue, such as Neptunus DryComfort, a professional finish that combines outstanding technical performance with an excellent aesthetic appearance.

This new washable siloxane interior paint combines the essential properties required for healthy masonry: on the one hand, it provides excellent breathability with high water vapour permeability, while on the other it delivers excellent water repellency, preventing the passage of liquid water. Thanks to this perfect protective balance, Neptunus DryComfort proves to be an extremely effective solution: when used as part of San Marco's renovation systems, it acts as a dehumidifying finish, promoting the natural and continuous release of water vapour while preserving the integrity and structure of the plaster over time.

In addition to its outstanding technical characteristics, the product delivers a refined aesthetic result and is also an ideal solution outside dehumidifying systems. Neptunus DryComfort gives walls a smooth matt finish, while its high whiteness and excellent hiding power ensure bright, even surfaces, concealing imperfections in just two coats. Its excellent washability also helps maintain the original appearance over time, even after routine cleaning and maintenance.

Neptunus DryComfort also fits perfectly into San Marco's commitment to promoting solutions that enhance indoor comfort and air quality. The product complies with the stringent Indoor Air Comfort Gold requirements certified by Eurofins and has achieved an A+ rating under the Indoor Air Quality certification scheme for its extremely low emissions of volatile organic compounds in indoor environments. It is also REDcert² certified, recognising the use of renewable raw materials and its contribution to reducing the consumption of fossil resources throughout the production chain.
