A high build protective finish for the renovation of factory coated profile metal vertical cladding panels.
Tor Unicover S (RC305) is a high build protective finish for renovation of factory coated profile metal vertical cladding panels, roofing trims etc in moderate environmental locations. Single pack smooth finish based on a specially modified acrylic/urethane resin system containing inert pigments and extenders.

What Does it Do?
Where can it be used?
Substrates
Primarily designed for the refurbishment and redecoration of vertical cladding materials such as plastisol. Other substrates such as PVDF / thermoset enamels will require special primers. As cladding refurbishment is dependant wholly on condition, we recommend asking for a free site survey to assess your building. This service provides you with a full site specification for your project.
Buildings
Can be used on: Retail Stores, Warehouses, Manufacturing units, Distribution Units, any Commercial / Retail / Industrial building which utilises architectural cladding.
Method of Application
Brush or airless spray (can be roller applied to large flat panels etc). Stripe coat all vulnerable areas, (edge, panel ends, bolt heads, etc) and allow to dry overnight before main coat application. Apply one or two full coats as necessary. Ensure good coverage especially vulnerable areas - see "limitations". Slight thinning (2-5% solvent addition) is permissible to aid application where necessary.
Surface Preparation
Important: Inspect all elevations of the building - condition of (say) North and South facing cladding may differ considerably.
Ensure surfaces are sound, clean and dry before coating, and any existing coatings are sufficiently resilient for overcoating. Remove surface contaminants by detergent scrubbing or high pressure power washing. Remove any moss, lichen, algae etc using Torkill W Fungicidal Solution (DM405). Ensure any existing coatings are adhering firmly to the substrate. Remove any residual chalking (if present) by vigorous rubbing etc with a fine scouring pad (eg. "Scotchbrite), and any other surface leachates or residues (particularly on plasticised PVC coatings) by either vigorous wiping with Tor Standard Urethane Thinners (TH99) or vigorous scrubbing with strong alkali detergent (eg. Torstrip WDA10 Wash Down Agent (SS4200005)) followed by thorough rinsing. Note: Abrasion of PVDF coatings (other than around loose or corroded areas) with fine hard abrasives should be avoided as this may polish the surface and impair adhesion of subsequent coatings - white aluminium oxide (80 mesh or coarser) or other suitable hard sharp mineral abrasive paper recommended to ‘cut’ and roughen coatings.
Scrape back any loose or weakly bonded materials and prepare to a firm feathered edge, and abrade exposed metal to remove corrosion products and provide a mechanical "key". Spot prime all bare metal areas with Tor Elastaseal Z Metal Primer (RC145) as appropriate. Stripe coat vulnerable areas (drip edges, exposed boltheads, panel edges etc) with Tor Elastaseal Fibretex (RC104) and leave overnight before applying main coat.
