TECHNICAL DATASHEET

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.
