To ensure colour uniformity and for optimum performance, Dulux recommend a full coating system including a Membrane topcoat. For all systems, the Texture &/or Base Coat should be tinted in accordance with Tint Guide to the specified topcoat colour (or a colour as close as possible to the specified colour as product and Acratex tint rules allow).
Important: Not all colours are suitable for exterior use. Ensure that you have adequate tinted stock to complete the job in one application.
All material must be thoroughly cross-mix to ensure tint uniformity. It is recommended to hold a volume of finish material for future maintenance touch-ups
Practical spreading rates will vary from quoted theoretical figures depending on substrate porosity, surface roughness, overspray losses, application methods and environmental conditions (e.g. wind).
• Do not apply paint if Relative Humidity is above 85% or temperature is within 3°C of Dew Point.
• Do not apply if the surface temperature is greater than 40°C or below 10°C, or likely to fall below 10°C during the application or drying period.
• Dry times apply to a single coat at recommended spread rate and at 25°C and 50% Relative Humidity
• Allow longer times under cool, moist, or still conditions and or when applied at high film builds.
• Protect from dew, rain and frost for 48 hours when apply at the recommended spread rate.
• Avoid application in hot, windy conditions or on hot surfaces cool the surface by hosing with water and paint the cool damp surface.
