| APPLICATION DETAILS | ||
| Application conditions | The surface to be painted must be dry and at least 4 weeks old, with concrete relative humidity less than 97%. During application and drying, the air, surface and paint temperature must be at least + 10 º C, and relative air humidity less than 80 %. | |
| Preparation | Unpainted surfaces:
Concrete floors: Remove cement glue coat with a grinding machine. Remove grinding dust. Wooden floors: Remove all dirt, oil, dust and grease. Treat knots with Tikkurila Knotting Lacquer. 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. |
|
| Application | Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Concrete floors: Apply Betolux Akva Primer OR one coat of Betolux Akva diluted 10% with water to new concrete floors. Finish new and previously painted concrete floors with 2-3 coats of non-diluted Betolux Akva. Use a short-pile roller or synthetic brush for smaller surfaces. Wooden floors: Apply one coat of Betolux Akva Primer diluted 10% with water to new wooden floors. Finish new and previously painted wooden floors with 2-3 coats of non-diluted Betolux Akva. Use a synthetic brush. NB. Paint will dry quickly, so plan your work beforehand to avoid paint joints. Apply lengthwise to several planks at once, and only make repairs when the paint has dried. Non-slip treatment: To increase grip on painted surfaces, Non-Slip Agent can be added to Betolux Akva 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 | Clean tools with water or Tikkurila Pensselipesu (Tool Cleaner). | |
| Maintenance instructions | The painted surface reaches its ultimate abrasion and chemical resistance approx. 4 weeks from the surface treatment, during that time avoid cleanup. Clean the surface with a brush, a mop or a rag. Clean soiled surfaces with cleaning supplies using neutral (pH 6-8) detergent. | |
