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.
Algae and Fungi:
- Algal or Fungal deposits should first be removed by power washing the surface and then coated with Britannia’s Fungicidal Wash Solution.
Loose/Friable and Newly Rendered Surfaces:
- The substrate to be coated should be sound, free from dirt, grease, oil, dust, chalk and friable material.
- However soundly adhering render with a friable surface, should be pre-treated with the topcoat thinned 20% prior to the second coat.
Extremely Friable/Loose Surfaces:
- These should be coated with Britannia’s Stabilising Masonry Solution (see separate technical data sheet).
Cracks:
- Hairline cracks can be successfully covered but substantial cracks should be filled with a proprietary sealant.
Application
- Please follow the coverage rates shown in Spreading Rate Section.
- Stir well before use.
- 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.
- In case of contact with eyes wash immediately with plenty of water.
