Features

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

Intended Usages

• Superior primer/sealer for new cement plaster.
• Primer/sealer for gypsum plaster, hardboard, fibre cement, gypsum boards, rhinolite and glasstone.

Application Details

• Mixing: Stir well before use with a flat paddle to an even consistency. Stir occasionally during use.
• Method: Brush or roller.
• Thinning: ProGold Mineral Turpentine.
• Cleaning: Remove as much of the product as possible from the application equipment before cleaning with ProGold Mineral Turpentine.

Conditions:

• Temperature between 5°C and 40°C.
• Relative humidity of less than 85%, preferably between 10:00 and 16:00.
• Ideally, apply when the temperature of the substrate is at least 2ºC above dew point.
• If possible away from direct sunlight.

Drying time: 
Surface dry: 4 hours, Hard dry: 8 hours at 23ºC. 
Note: higher temperatures will accelerate the drying times (approximately halved for every 10ºC increase), whist lower temperatures will retard the drying times (approximately doubled for every 10ºC decrease)

Recoating time:16 hours at 23ºC

Requirements: One coat.

Surface Preparations
Cement plaster:

• Apply directly.

Cement plaster with rising damp:

• Providing the damp is below 40%.
• Apply one thinned coat of Prominent Dampcure (up to 20% with ProGold Mineral Turpentine) and a 2nd coat un-thinned.
• For Neuklad finishing coats first apply 1 coat Neutron Alkali Resistant Sealer.

Chalky surfaces:

• Remove chalkiness, and then apply one coat Neutron Alkali Resistant Sealer diluted 20% with ProGold Mineral Turpentine.

Fibre Cement:

• Remove dust and apply directly.

Gypsum Board & Plaster:

• Remove dust and apply directly.

Not recommended for redecorating - primer only.

Limitations

• Use limited to that of a primer only.
• Can not stop damp.
• Can only be used on absorbent surfaces.
• Moisture content must not exceed 15 %.
• Needs to be over-coated as it is not UV stable.

Safety

• Keep out of reach of children.
• Ensure to maintain good 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 Paints Customer Service Department.
