STANDARD APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Correct surface preparation is essential. Surfaces must be clean and dry to ensure maximum penetration.

  • Remove dirt and loose material, grime, moss and fungus;

  • Repair any cracks and joints, including defective pointing in the brickwork;

  • New plaster, mortar and concrete should be allowed to cure for 28 days before coating;

  • Ready for use for brush, roller or spray application;

  • Apply liberally ensuring that the whole surface is covered and absorbency is satisfied;

  • Remove all oil with degreaser and pressure of steam wash;

  • Stir well before use;

  • Apply to surface by brushing, rolling or spraying over entire area moving in one direction uniformly;

  • Apply 2-3 coats depending on porosity of surface, allowing approximately air flash between coats - See Technical Data for drying times;

  • Avoid puddling of product in any area;

  • Heavy wet coats must be avoided as this severely retards the drying;

  • Clean all equipment immediately after use with water. Dried material can only be mechanically removed.


STORAGE

  • Store under cover, away from damp, rain, frost and direct sunlight;

  • Always replace the lid securely after use.


IMPORTANT

  • The ambient temperature must be between 10ºC and 35ºC and humidity between 10% and 85%;

  • Do not apply too early as the surface may still be damp - apply only when the surface is dry;

  • Do not apply in too hot weather, rather early morning and after lunch, the slower the product dries, the longer it lasts;

  • Excessive application thickness and/or rapid drying could lead to cracking;

  • Avoid applying under adverse weather conditions as this could result in poor product performance;

  • Excessively friable surfaces should be cleaned down prior to application;

  • Not recommended for over coating bitumen sealers.


SAFETY

  • Always keep out of reach of children and animals;

  • Do not take in orally - harmful if swallowed. Seek medical attention and do not induce vomiting;

  • If accidental contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice;

  • Ventilate the area to be painted, opening all doors and windows and using fans during application and drying;

  • Protect floors with cloth Drop Cloths, not plastic, which is far more slippery;

  • Make sure your ladder is in good shape. Set the legs on an even surface and lock the cross braces. Do not stand on the top of the ladder or on the utility shelf. If you are having difficulty reaching a spot, get down from the ladder and move it rather than leaning out;

  • Clean up carefully and thoroughly when you are done for the day.
