As a rule, freshly plastered facades cannot be painted until the plaster has set (carbonation), which usually necessitates re-erecting the scaffolding. Silicone resin emulsion paints, by contrast, can be applied to fresh mineral plaster right away, since they are highly permeable to CO2 and thus do not impede carbonation (CO2permeability guarantee).
