Surface preparation by substrate

Eggshell

Surface Preparation - Metal
For iron parts that are not factory primed, clean and sand thoroughly to remove corrosion. Prime with our Rust-Protection Primer. Allow to dry thoroughly. For ferrous metals pre-primed by the manufacturer and not exhibiting any corrosion, clean and sand thoroughly and apply a first coat diluted with 5% water. Not appropriate for galvanized steel or nonferrous metals. Physical/Technical Characteristics Working conditions: Min 10ᵒC, max 30ᵒC. Max. RH 85%; optimal is 20-23ᵒC at 50-65 RH Density: 1.02 – 1.30 g/cm³ depending on colour shade Gloss level: 5 at 20ᵒ, 20 at 60ᵒ, 45 at 85ᵒ measured in white. VOC content: ≤1 g/L (Cat A/dwb, max permissible 130g.L) which is 0.09%. Perspiration and saliva-fast (DIN 53160 / EN 71 Part 3) Safe for toys (DIN EN71 part 3) Abrasion resistance: Class 1 (EN 13300). Opacity/covering: Class 1 @ consumption of 0.08l/m2 (12.5m2/L) (EN13300) Breathability: Sd value<0/3 (in testing)
Surface Preparation - Wood
The surface must be dry, clean, solid and coatable. Thoroughly sand existing coatings and clean off all dust. Existing coatings that are non-recoatable or unstable should be completely removed by sanding or stripping. Suitable wood fillers should be applied before application of any paint products. External Painting Do not expose unfinished coats to wet weather within 48 hours of application. Check each coat is dry by sanding lightly before applying next coat. Do not paint when day or night time temperature is less than 10°C or in driving rain or snow. Check annually and repair any defects immediately. Clear flat surfaces from standing water. Priming Please do not use with acrylic primers. Natural paints do not always adhere to PVC primers so avoid if possible. If the surface has already been primed it is important to ascertain what primer has been used and then advice can be given about suitability of top coat. All bare wood should be primed with our Water Based Primer to create a uniform, coatable surface. All MDF and ply must be primed with our Water Based Primer or the paint will be absorbed. Bleeding knots on bare woods should be pre treated with our Water Based Primer. Apply 2 coats of primer over knots to prevent bleeding. Previously painted wood should be sanded thoroughly and cleaned off before testing the surface for suitability by doing a tester patch, leave to dry to ensure the paint will adhere and cure. Apply at least 2 top coats. Drying (23 °C/ 50% rel. humidity) Dust dries after approximately 2 hours, recoatable after approximately 6 hours. Fully cured after approximately 24 hours. Colour range Available in all colours.
