Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of frost, damage, releasing agents, including dirt, efflorescence, form oil and other foreign matter. Loose or damaged material must be removed by water blasting, sandblasting or mechanical wire brushing and repaired. Avoid application over irregular surfaces. Resurface, patch or level surfaces to required tolerance and smoothness with appropriate Decoplast leveling materials.
Pressure washing is a recommended means of surface preparation. Follow necessary safety precautions and adjust pressure to avoid damage to the underlying substrate or substrate condition. For mold, algae, and mildew removal, treat surfaces with a commercial mildew removal and/or wash product carefully following manufacturer's application and safety directions.
- Mixing
Mix with a clean, rust-free electric drill and paddle to a uniform consistency. Close container when not in use. Clean tools with water immediately after use.
- Application
Apply only to sound and clean, dry, properly prepared surfaces.
Airless Spraying - Use airless sprayer with minimum 19 mil tip. Use a starting pressure of 1900 psi and adjust as necessary.
As a primer - Apply at 4-6 wet mils per coat. Multiple coats may be required, depending on surface condition.
Curing/Drying - Time Times assume 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity. Drying time varies with temperature/ humidity and surface conditions. Protect installed product from rain, freezing, and continuous high humidity until completely dry.
Clean Up - Clean all tools and equipment immediately with water. Cured material may be removed by mechanical means.
- Limitations
- Use Decoplast Primer only when surface and ambient temperatures are above 40°F (4°C).
- and below 100°F (38°C) during application and drying period.
- Store Decoplast materials in a cool, dry place.
- Sloped surfaces: Refer to Decoplast details.
- Decoplast Primer should not be used on horizontal surfaces unless protected with appropriate Decoplast Finish materials.
- Do not apply Decoplast Primer to frozen surfaces.
- Coverage
800-1000 ft² (74.3-92.9 m²) per pail applied at 4 to 6 wet mils per coat.
