Matt Paints give a well-covering, breathing, dirt and water-repellent,
elastic, silky-matt finish. Once hardened, they are approved for children's
toys (standard EN 71, part 3, as well as DIN 53160). They adhere well
to wood and are sweat and saliva proof. |
| Ingredients | Castor oil, colophony
resin ester, safflower oil, feldspar, aluminium silicate, aliphatic hydrocarbons,
citrus peel oil, zinc oxide, cobalt, zirconium and zinc-octoate driers,
clay, ethanol. |
| Application | Suitable for all
interior timber, e.g. windows, doors, stair banisters, panelling, furniture,
toys, etc. Also suitable for metal after priming with Rust Primer. |
| Preliminary treatment | Surface
must be smooth, dry (max. moisture: 14%) and free from grease. If necessary,
clean with Thinner. Remove flaking old paint, otherwise clean and
sand carefully. Prime timber with Undercoat. Prime interior metal
prone to rust, as well as zinc and galvanized surfaces with Rust
Primer. |
| Directions for use | Stir
thoroughly before using and if necessary, thin with Thinner. Can
be brushed, rolled or sprayed (spraying specifications: firm after 25-30
seconds, nozzle 1-1.5 mm, pressure 3-4 bars). Do not apply below 12°C
and in high air moisture, as it would slow down drying and cause bad finish.
A minimum of 2 thin coats is recommended. Important : make sure to ventilate well when working with the product while it is drying! |
| Drying | Dry
after 16 - 20 hours (20 - 23°C / 50 - 55% relative air moisture). Can
be sanded and recoated after 24 hours. Fully hardened after 7 days. |
| Coverage |
One litre will cover 10-12 m². |
| Cleaning of implements |
Clean
with Thinner. Leave Thinner to stand, wait for paint to
settle, decant clean liquid and use again. |
| Storage |
