Spreading Rate
These will vary depending on substrate, the site conditions and longevity required.
Typically spreading rates will vary depending on the end use.
As a general guide up to 16 square metres/litre per coat depending on surface texture. These figures are only an approximate guide and maybe reduced. If in doubt, apply a small trial area first.
1 coat may be sufficient, but 2 coats is recommended.
Drying Times
Touch dry in 1-2 hours
Recoatable after 4-6 hours under normal drying conditions
Do not apply when air or surface temperatures are below 10°C or rain is imminent.
Care should be taken to avoid brush, roller or spraying wet surfaces. In cold weather walls must be free from retained frost.
Preparation
Damp Surfaces:
It is important that very damp or wet walls are not coated.
Building faults that allow moisture to enter walls, e.g. broken rainwater downspouts, guttering and coping stones.etc, should be repaired before coating.
Experienced applicators can assess this situation to verify suitability.
Wallshield Eco can be applied by Brush, Roller or Spray.
Coverage will be determined by the nature of the substrate, temperature and application method.
Roller:
Depends on surface type but a heavy pile is generally used for rough surfaces, a medium to short pile for smooth surfaces up to a maximum of a 12” roller.
Airless Spray:
Painting may be carried out by most industrial airless equipment.
Tip size of 18-23 thou is recommended and pressure 150-200 bar. Care should be taken to mask all areas not to be coated.
Previously Painted Surfaces (Pebbledash and Rough Cast Renders):
As a guide up to 8 square metres/ litres per coat.
1 coat may be sufficient, but 2 coats is recommended.
For Smooth Walls:
As a guide up to 16 square metres/litre per coat.
1 coat may be sufficient, but 2 coats is recommended.
These figures are only an approximate guide and maybe reduced. If in doubt, apply a small trial area first.
Note. During the summer months there is a possibility of paint skinning from warm weather/transportation (top of inside lid and rim). We recommend that the paint is pre-filtered on site through a course filter to remove skins before spraying.
Cleaning
Clean all brushes and equipment with water after use.
Shelf Life & Storage
Up to 12 months if stored correctly in an unopened container.
Precautions
Keep out of reach of children.
