satine 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. Added pigments as per colour: titanium dioxide (1110),
titanium-dioxide, silicic acids, talcum (1115), spinel yellow (1125),
spinel yellow (1130), paliogen red (1145), spinel blue (1155), spinel
green (1165), ferric oxide brown (1175), ferric oxide black, soot (1195). |
| 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 | Seal well and keep in a cool
dry place. Keep leftovers in smaller containers and close well to prevent
skin. |

Class A III. Danger of spontaneous combustion! Keep rags soaked with oil based products in water or allow to dry out completely by spreading on a non-combustible surface and dispose of with your household rubbish. Keep away from children. The raw material used can cause a smell that is typical of the product. |

quantities to prevent leftovers. Clean containers and take to a recycling
centre. Do not dispose of solvent-based products carelessly. Dried-out
