Features & Benefits

Mapei Dursilite can be used for the painting of all old, new or already painted interior surfaces. When applied on interior walls, Dursilite adheres to all types of masonry, renders, smoothing layers and on old paints as long as suitably prepared. It can also be used on exterior walls for painting partially covered surfaces protected from direct exposure to sunlight and rain.

• Highly washable
• Excellent hiding
• Scrub resistant; Highly durable
• High saturated colours; Full white and intense colours

Substrate Preparation

The surfaces to be treated must be cured, perfectly clean, cohesive and dry. Remove any loose or flaking material from the surface. Smoothen all unevenness of the substrate (holes, cracks) and repair deteriorated parts to reach a sufficiently flat and even surface.

Primer Application

According to the type of substrate, select the primer to use: Malech, transparent acrylic primer, properly diluted, or Dursilite Base Coat, pigmented acrylic undercoat, white or in a shade similar to the final colour, recommended especially in case of bright colours with limited hiding power.

Wait for the complete drying of Malech or Dursilite Base Coat (6-12 hours) and proceed with the application of Dursilite.

Finish Application

Dilute Dursilite taking care to thoroughly blend it; use a drill at low speed if necessary. Dursilite can be applied by brush, roller or spray in one or two coats. Wait 6-12 hours between coats depending on humidity and temperature, ensuring that the previous layer is completely dry.

Cleaning & Precautions

Wash brushes, rollers and spray equipment with water before Dursilite dries
