CHARACTERISTICS OF SUBSTRATE

*OPTIONAL:
FIRST COAT
Sunshield Gloss: Apply one thin coat (25 microns) followed by second and third coats as above.

(Sunshield Gloss is self priming to fibre cement, brick, masonry, render and most timber substrates. Aged, grey hardwood as well as tannin rich timbers should be primed with Multi Purpose Undercoat. Non-ferrous metals should be suitably prepared and primed. Sunshield Gloss neutral base is not self-priming.)

A mixture of cement, sand and additives used over masonry or blueboard. A commonly used material used in the external lining of newly built homes prior to application of finishing procedures. Cement render can be high in alkalinity and requires a minimum of 28 days curing prior to coating. Porosity can vary significantly between mixes and application technique used which will affect paint coverage rates. Laitenance or efflorescence can be problematic depending upon mix quality and application technique. It is prudent to check the render for adhesion by testing for druminess.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Ensure surface is clean, dry and free of laitenance, efflorescence, dirt, mould and other contaminants. Fill any imperfections with an appropriate filler and remove any excess render spots.

Speedprep may be used as an alternative to Speedseal.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Drying times are approximate at 25° C and 50% relative humidity. Allow longer drying times under cool, moist or low air movement conditions. Spreading rates will vary from the quoted theoretical rates depending on application methods and surrounding conditions.
Do not paint if temperatures are below 10°C or likely to fall below 10°C during drying period
Refer to TECHNICAL DATA SHEETS for additional information.
