Application Details

• Mixing: Stir before use with a flat paddle to an even consistency. Stir occasionally during use.
• Method: Roller (preferably mohair) or brush.
• Thinning: Not recommended.
• Cleaning: Tap water. Remove as much of the product as possible from the application equipment before cleaning with water.

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 2°C above dew point. If possible away from direct sunlight.

Drying time:

• Touch dry - 1 hour at 23°C. Note: Higher temperatures will accelerate the drying times (approximately halved for every 10°C increase), whilst lower temperatures will retard the drying time (approximately doubled for every 10°C decrease).

Recoating time:

• 6-8 hours at 23°C.

Requirements: Two coats.

Limitations

• The low VOC compliance is applicable to Ultra Matt White and colours mixed from white for batches manufactured from 1 February 2011 onwards.
• Can only be applied under specified conditions.
• Cannot be applied over poor quality undercoats or directly onto gypsum plaster.
• Not suitable for use in showers.
• The application of Prominent Ultra Matt to ceramic tiles is limited to wall surfaces only.
• To ensure a consistent appearance ensure that batch numbers on all the containers are the same. Where the batch numbers differ, intermix before use.
• Wet film thickness measurements (WFT) need to be done with a good quality WFT comb, immediately after application, and serves as a guide to verify WFT during application. Only dry film thickness (DFT) measurements can be used as part of the quality control process.

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.
