     NBT TRADE EMULSION

     Technical Information Sheet

    Use NBT Trade Emulsion is a wall & ceiling paint for internal use only. It can be used on dry , porous and grease free surfaces e.g. wallpaper, timber, plaster, and other painted surfaces.
    Properties NBT Trade Emulsion is a matt emulsion. It is formulated for reduced environmental impact and health risks in comparison with standard acrylic or vinyl emulsions. It has excellent covering properties and is easy to apply. Please note that due to the uniquely low TiO2/resin formula the paint appears more translucent on first application than standard emulsion paints, although it will dry to a trade standard opacity. Once dry the surface can be wiped down.
    Colour Standard colours - 19 plus white Other colours in larger quantities are available to order.
    Sizes 5 litres and 10 litres
    Coverage Approximately 10 square metres per litre.

    Preparation
  • Surfaces must be sound, absorbent, dry, clean, and free of dust & grease
  • Stabilise all sandy/powdery surfaces
  • All unstable (flaking or peeling) paint surfaces, especially water-soluble distempers, must be removed or washed off before applying NBT Trade Emulsion.
  • Oil paints must be lightly sanded and keyed appropriately.
  • New lime plaster must be allowed to dry completely (a minimum of 4 weeks) before applying emulsion.


    		•
    Application Remove any skin that has formed on the surface. Always stir paint before use.

    NBT Trade Emulsion can be applied with a brush, roller or spray gun. Thin with up to 10% water if too thick, this could be necessary when using roller or spray gun. For porous surfaces, such as plaster, limestone, etc, apply a mist of NBT Trade Emulsion thinned with water (up to two parts water to one part paint).

    Problem areas such as nicotine stains, soot, water marks or timber knots, must be rubbed down and sealed with a proprietary problem solving primer (such as clear shellac) to help avoid stains coming through the Emulsion. For a hard-wearing quality finish apply two coats of NBT Trade Emulsion.

    Please note that due to the uniquely low TiO2/resin formula the paint appears more translucent on first application than standard emulsion paints, although it will dry to a trade standard opacity. Do not therefore apply additional paint unnecessarily. Apply the paint at the normal rate and in the normal manner.
    Drying Time In normal temperatures and humidity, allow 4 hours drying time between coats. The painted surface is wipeable after 2 days.
    Cleaning Wash tools with warm water.
    Storage Keep container tightly sealed and store in a cool, dry and frost-free place. Shelf life is 6 months for unopened containers.
    Safety Keep container sealed and out of the reach of children. NBT Trade Emulsion is biodegradable but DO NOT empty into drains or watercourses.
