| APPLICATION DETAILS | ||
| Application conditions | The surface to be painted must be dry, the temperature of the air at least 8ºC, and the relative humidity of the air below 80 %. To avoid colour differences do not paint under strong sun light or rain. | |
| Preparation | Unpainted surfaces:
Remove dirt, dust and salts from unpainted surfaces. Allow precast concrete to dry for a minimum of one heating period before treatment. Surfaces cast using formwork must be mechanically worked (e.g. sand-blasted) to create sufficient texture and remove the glass-like, glossy hydrated cement. Similarly, the cement paste on cast surfaces must be removed by sand-blasting, steel-brushing or high-pressure washing with the addition of sand. Treat new plaster surfaces after 6-8 weeks of curing time. Previously painted surfaces: Remove organic paints totally from previously painted surfaces mechanically or by using paint remover which is rinsed off by pressure washing with hot water or sand-blasting. Remove also powdery and weak concrete surfaces previously painted with lime-paint e.g. with steel wire brush or by pressure washing with hot water. |
|
| Patching | Patch open cracks, holes and crevices to the same level as the surrounding concrete surface with suitable Finnseco repair mortar, and plaster surfaces with lime or lime-cement mortar. Allow patches to harden before painting. | |
| Priming | Solid and hard surfaces:
Prime solid and hard surfaces once with a mixture made of KIVITEX Silicate Primer and KIVITEX Silicate Paint (mixing ratio 1:2). Porous and absorbent surfaces: Prime porous and absorbent surfaces using wet-on-wet system with a mixture made of KIVITEX Silicate Primer and pure water (mixing ratio 1:1). |
|
| Cleaning of tools | Clean tools with water. | |
