| Application conditions | The surface to be painted must be dry and at least 4 weeks old, with concrete relative humidity less than 97%, the air temperature at least + 5 º C, and relative air humidity less than 80 %. | |
| Preparation | Unpainted surfaces:
Concrete floors: Remove cement glue with a grinding machine. Remove sanding dust. Wooden floors: Remove all dirt, oil, dust and grease. Previously painted surfaces: Wash down previously painted surfaces with Maalipesu (Cleaning Agent), rinse thoroughly with water and allow to dry. Remove old, flaking paint. Sand the surfaces carefully and remove sanding dust. |
|
| Painting | First application:
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats by brush, roller or spraying, dilute the first coat by 20-30% with White Spirit 1050. Apply the second coat at least 24 hrs later with undiluted or slightly diluted paint. |
|
| Treatment | Non-slip treatment:
To increase grip on painted surfaces, Non-Slip Agent can be added to Betolux in the ratio of 0.33 l powder to 10 litres of undiluted paint. Mixing by hand is sufficient. Apply two final topcoats of “non-slip” paint. Apply “non-slip” paint to the entire floor area or parts of it marked off with tape: It is also suitable for stair step edges. |
|
| Cleaning of tools | White Spirit 1050 or Tikkurila Pensselipesu (Tool Cleaner) | |
| Maintenance instructions | The painted surface will dry completely and reach its final durability and chemical resistance in approx. 1 month. Avoid cleaning during this period. Clean the surface with a brush, mop or duster, removing dirt with a neutral (pH 6-8) detergent. | |
| Maintenance treatment | Maintenance application:
Maintain surfaces previously painted with Betolux floor paint with Betolux or Betolux Akva floor paints. See also “Pretreatment: Previously painted surfaces”. |
