Method:

• Roller (long woven pile), brush and spray 180bar, nozzle 523

Thinning:

• 10% water when used as a primer.

Cleaning:

• Water. Remove as much of the product as possible from the application equipment before cleaning with water.

Application Conditions:

• Surface Temperature: Min 5ºC or 2⁰C above dew point, if possible away from direct sunlight  Max 35ºC
• Ambient Temperature: Min 2ºC Max 35ºC
• Relative Humidity: Min 10% Max 90%

Drying Time:

• Touch dry: 20 minutes at 23ºC
• Overcoating: 4h at 23ºC
• 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:

• 2 coats minimum.

Surface Preparation:
Surfaces must be sound, clean and dry (moisture content below 15%) before painting. Newly applied plaster need to be left for 21 to 28 days or 1 week for every 5mm thickness of plaster. Undesirable weather conditions e.g. cold or wet weather conditions will results in extended curing period.
Plaster 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).
