Features & Benefits

• A high quality chlorinated rubber coating
• For protecting and redecorating swimming pools
• Can be used on prepared, new concrete pools as well as previously chlorinated rubber painted pools
• Good coverage, up to 14m² per litre

Surface Preparation

• Surfaces to be painted should be free from nibs, cavities, and other imperfections
• Mould, oil stains, if any, must be removed
• Moisture content of concrete must be below 14% prior to application of any coating
• Concrete and render should be treated with Coo-Var Acid Etch prior to painting to remove any dirt and laitance and to create a good "key" for the paint
• Apply a 10% thinned coat of Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint to prime and seal the surface prior to applying any unthinned coats
• Surfaces previously painted with Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint and that are in good condition can be scrubbed clean and the surface roughened to help adhesion of the new coating, a test area is advised to ensure compatibility of the new coating
• Old perished chlorinated rubber coatings should be removed mechanically and treated as new substrate and prepared accordingly
• If the painted surface is unknown then a test area is recommended before full application to check for compatibility and adhesion

Application

• Mix well before use

Application Conditions:

• As dictated by normal good painting practice
• In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during application and drying
• From application of the final coat, leave the pool for a minimum of 14 days before filling with water

Preceding Coat:

• On concrete and porous surfaces use Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint thinned 10% with Teamac Thinner 15
• Use Teamac Metaclor Antifouling Primer on Metal

Subsequent Coat:

• Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint - 2 coats minimum
• Allow at least 16 hours between coats

Remarks

Application by brush may require a number of coats to achieve a higher d.f.t. than 25 microns.

Not to be used over conventional paint systems as there may be compatibility issues, test first.

A minimum of 3 coats are required including the 1st thinned coat.
