Recommended Use:
Developed for all outside work, Paracem Universal is ideal for applying to bricks, façade cladding, plaster, woodwork, plastic, galvanised metal, steel, concrete, and more. Paracem Universal is self-priming and will immediately adhere to existing glossy surfaces without the need for sanding. A separate primer is unnecessary for most applications. Paracem Universal provides excellent resistance against cracking, blistering, flaking, rain,and severe weather conditions.
Two-layer system: Apply the first layer, which primes and seals the surface. The second layer completes the sealing process and provides additional moisture resistance and protection.

Paracem Universal is not recommended for use on floors, terraces, or horizontal surfaces that may be drenched in water or exposed to water for a long period of time. Before applying Paracem Universal, we recommend that you thoroughly sand and degrease unweathered/new powder coatings and similar surfaces. Not suitable for application onto new plastisol or a new powder coating. These surfaces must be fully weathered. Paracem Universal has no anti corrosive properties, so don’t apply directly on ferrous metal surfaces, but always use an appropriate anticorrosive primer like Rust-Oleum Mathys Metal Cladding Primer.
