SURFACE PREPARATION:
Clean the surface thoroughly to get 100 % effectiveness of Crown Ultraguard Silicone Paint. Remove all loosely adhering material/contamination from the surface using coarse emery paper, putty pallets or wire brush and clean water. The substrate should be clean, free from dust, grease and lose materials by a wire brush. Dry and absorbent surfaces should be moistened with a sufficient quantity of clean water.
In-case of fungus, algae or moss has grown on the surface, clean & apply Crown Fungicidal Wash for an excellent performance. Do not apply on surfaces that are exposed to continuous seepage or dampness.
New Work: If the surface is not smooth, apply Crown Exterior Wallcare Cement Putty for filling fine cracks & smooth levelling. Then apply 3 coats Crown Ultraguard Silicone Paint with first coat thinned up to 15-20 % with clean water.
Surfaces Previously Painted in Water-based Paint: Ensure the surface is clean and free of powdery or flaking material. If the surface is still suspect, apply 1 coat of Crown Penetrating Primer and allow to dry overnight. Then apply 2 coats Crown Ultraguard Silicone Paint.
Previously Gloss Painted Surfaces: Ensure that the gloss finish is thoroughly rubbed down to provide a key. Apply 1 coat of Crown Undercoat followed by 2 coats Crown Ultraguard Silicone Paint.
Loosely bound & lime-washed, cement painted, distempered surfaces: Remove all loose and flaking material down to a firm base, where necessary removing all previous coatings down to the original building fabric (refer Surface Preparation Data Sheet SP 1). Apply 1 coat Crown Penetrating Primer or* Apply 3 coats Crown Ultraguard Silicone Paint.
Notes:
- When overcoating walls in sound condition with the same shade, the application of 1 coat may be sufficient.
- When overcoating a dark colour with a light shade, the application of 3 coats may be necessary.
- Choice of colours for technical reasons (often dependent upon pigment origin and type) an additional coat will often be required when using certain shades (particularly Bright Yellows, Greens, Oranges, Reds refer colour card for details). The use of these colours should be avoided on medium and low-cost projects. Where these low opacity colours are to be used on bare plaster, or for overcoating dark colours, the application of the first coat of a paler shade offering superior coverage is recommended. Consult Crown Technical Advisory Department for advice.
- For chemical reasons, certain dark colours offer less resistance to fading when subjected to ultraviolet light, especially in tropical climates. Consult Crown Technical Department for further details.
