Features

• Alkali resistant: Protects subsequent coats against alkali attack.
• Good penetration: Dissolves binder, penetrates porous surfaces and seals them off.
• Good adhesion: To porous, correctly prepared chalky surfaces.

Intended Usages

• Primer for new interior and exterior cement plaster.
• Primer for sound gypsum plaster, hardboard, gypsum boards, rhinolite, glasstone and crete stone.

Application Details

• Mixing: Stir well before use with a flat paddle to a homogenous consistency. Stir occasionally during use.
• Method: Roller and brush.
• Thinning: Not recommended.
• Cleaning: Remove as much of the product as possible from the application equipment before cleaning with mineral turpentine.

Application Conditions:

• Surface Temperature between 5°C and 40°C.
• Ambient Temperature between 5°C and 40°C.
• Relative Humidity between 10% and 85%.
• Ideally, apply when the temperature of the substrate is at least 2ºC above dew point and if possible away from direct sunlight.

Drying time: 
Touch dry, 1 hours

Recoating time: 
16 hours at 23 ºC 
Note: Note: higher temperatures will accelerate the drying times (approximately halved for every 10⁰C increase) whilst lower temperatures will retard the drying times (approximately doubled for every 10⁰C decrease).

Requirements: One coat

Surface Preparations
Preparation: Surfaces must be sound, clean and dry (moisture content below 15%) free from loose or flaking material before painting. Sand to comply with SABS 1090 requirements. Plaster mix must have a minimum thickness of 10mm, free from soft and friable material and comply with SABS 0164-1 for strength (MPA).

Cement Plaster:

• Apply directly.

Gypsum Plaster:

• Apply directly.

Gypsum board, hardboard:

• Apply directly.

Chalky paint:

• Remove chalkiness and then apply. Conduct a masking tape adhesion test 24 hours after application to ensure that good adhesion is established before over coating.

Redecorating:

• Not recommended for redecorating - Primer only.

Limitations

• Prominent Paints Access Plaster Primer use is limited to that of a primer only and tinting is not recommended. Chalking will take place if exposed to UV rays.
• Prominent Paints Access Plaster Primer is only intended for absorbent surface with moisture content of 15% or below and is not a cure for damp problems.
• To ensure a consistent appearance, ensure that the batch numbers on all containers are the same. Where batch numbers on containers differ, intermix before use.

Safety

• Flammable: Do not use near an open flame.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Wear a suitable dust mask if sanding.
• Ensure to maintain adequate ventilation during application and drying process.
• In case of skin contact, wash with soap and water or a recognised skin cleaner. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact with eyes rinse immediately with running water and seek medical advice.
• If product is ingested drink plenty of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting at any time. Seek medical advice.
• Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed information about the product and transportation and classification criteria. MSDS is available on www.prominentpaints.co.za or from Prominent Customer Service Department.
