Description
Description
A high performance Acrylic primer undercoat specially formulated using 100% Acrylic polymer resin which has a proven performance record for durability, adhesion and water resistance.
Uses
Designed for interior and exterior use, providing adhesion promotion on to most substrates and as well as also providing a suitable base before applying water or solvent based enamels.
Finishes
• Available in Matt
Surface Preparation
Ensure the surfaces to be painted are clean dry and free from dust, dirt grease and wax. Remove all loose and defective paint. Algal and fungal growths should be removed and treated with a fungicidal wash.
Smooth glossy surfaces should be lightly abraded to provide a key.
Bare steel should be free from rust, scale and dust. Before applying BEDEC water based All Metals Primer. Pressure treated timber should be weathered for at least six months prior to painting. Denatured wood should be abraded to reveal new cells. New planed, finished wood or PSE wood should also be abraded to open the grain and allow maximum penetration.
On untreated weathered wood, new wood, cement, render, plaster, brick work or any porous substrate. The first coat should be thinned with 30% clean water.
Where there is a risk of staining (Extractive discolouration) treatment with BEDEC Stain block is recommended. It is always advisable to test for staining by applying Aqua Advanced Enamels to a small area first. Knots should also be treated with BEDEC stain block, Knotting solution is not recommended.
Application
Apply by brush, roller, conventional H.V.L.P or airless spray. Stir well and check colour before use. Do not apply at air or surface temperatures below 8°C or when likely to rain before the paint has fully dried.
Coverage
Approximately 13-15 sq metres/litre per coat when applied by brush or roller depending on the texture and porosity of the substrate.
Giving a wet film thickness (WFT) of approximately 71 microns per coat (Corresponding to an approximate dry film thickness (DFT) of 27 microns per coat).
Spraying will considerably reduce the coverage rate depending on the type of spray equipment used.
Airless spray systems for example coverage will be reduced to approximately 6-8 sq meters/litre per coat. When using a tip size of 13-15 thou @ 50-70°angle and a pump pressure of 2500 P.S.I. Giving a wet film thickness of approximately 146 microns per coat (Corresponding to an approximate dry film thickness (DFT) of 5 micros per coat).
Drying Time
Dependant on the conditions. Touch dry in 30 minutes, normally recoatable after four hours at 18°C and 65% relative humidity. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
Clean Up
Clean up immediately after use with warm soapy water. Remove as much product as possible prior to cleaning.
Storage
Clean rim and replace lid firmly after use and protect from low temperatures (minimum 5°C). To avoid the risk of spilling always store and transport in a secure an upright position. Do not store by hanging on a hook.
