Megalatex Краска латексная Maxima

The surface is prepared according to DSTU-N B A.3.1-23:2013 and DSTU-N B B.2.6-212:2016.

The surface must be dry – the humidity of the surface on all stages of preparation and paint works must be less than 5% for cement and cement-sand surfaces and less than 1% for gypsum ones. The surface must be clean from chalk and lime whitewashings, grease and oily stains, and other contaminations, efflorescence, dust (including abrasive dust after polishing plasters and stuccos), old paint products and wallpapers (which stick to the surface not secure), polymer adhesives, and runs of construction mortars or composites. Mineral surfaces must be hard, without fragile parts or edges. The base materials like plaster, stucco, insulating or adhesive elements must be completely dry and be ready for priming and coating with acrylic water-based products. Parts of the surface infected with mould or fungi must be removed: first mechanically and then treated with antiseptic for mineral surfaces TM Farbex. Remove contaminations, infections, old coatings, or fragile parts with a wire brush, a spatula, a scratcher or with a polisher.  

Correct appeared defects with Plater TM Farbex (depending on the character of the defects).

Existing metal elements in the base surface or those that will be used after painting must be made of galvanized or stainless steel. When you use iron elements, they must be initially protected against corrosion with special primers or other products.

Check the compatibility of the products on a small area following technical recommendations or specialists’ consultation before you use other products (an adhesive, an antiseptic, a plaster, etc.). Follow the directions precisely (especially drying period and subsequent treatment) when further priming and painting construction mortars or products. For example, fresh cement plasters must be not treated for 28 days, fresh concrete - 3 months, the surfaces of insulating systems -  7 days. 

To provide maximum exploitative resistance and better decorative effect, depending on the type, the surface must be primed:

Wooden porous surfaces - acrylic wood-protecting primer TM Maxima. Attention! The primer pushes up the timber fibers, so you must polish the surface and then apply the paint. 

Mineral surfaces - primer-concentrate 1:10 Aqua Primer TM Maxima.  Depending on the type of surface, dilute the primer according to the directions.

Dense types, OSB, chipboards, fiberboards, wallpapers, hard old paint coatings need no preliminary priming before coating. It is necessary to take into account the hints according to the priming of construction mortars or products. If necessary, consult the specialists of POLYSAN.

Before applying the paint, make sure that the surface is dry enough after preparation. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Filter it and dilute with water if necessary. Abnormal dilution spoils the quality of the coating! Apply the paint in 1-2 coats. Apply a subsequent coat in 2 hours. On extra porous, rough, or very contrasted surfaces, the quantity of coats and consumption of paint can increase. The precise consumption can be determined by a test coating on a small area. The coating must be continuous and in one direction with the same consumption of the product. We recommend applying “from edge to edge” (from corner to corner) or within the limits of decorative elements without breaks. Applying the paint on a large area and/or during a long period, do not keep the container with the paint open. Carry out painting at the temperature of the air and the surface from + 10 °С to + 35 °С and relative air humidity less than 80%. Do not apply paint under direct sunlight, strong wind, frost and precipitation. The coating shall not be affected by precipitations during 12 hours after application. The coating achieves complete hardness and resistance to mechanical loading after 28 days.

Latex paint MEGALATEX can be applied in these ways:

Tools must be recommended for water-based products.

If you apply with a roller, we recommend using a cuvette for homogeneous wetting of the tool. Attention! For a smoother coating, we recommend using the rollers with a shorter nap.

When you use instruments for the spraying application method, you should follow instruction for exploitation. We recommend using airless spraying for this method. The pneumatic spraying demands diluting the paint with water, and its quantity is often at the maximum recommended level, so it can couse lessening of the thickness of the coating or the creation of runs.

For a quality coating, you have to achieve painting skills, especially if you use professional instruments.

Carrying out exterior (façade) works, we recommend doing it under “the tent for facades and construction platforms (scaffolding)”.

Compatibility with other coatings

Depending on the terms of exploitation, the paint can be used with different primers and finishing coatings. The examples of compatibility are dwelt on below. If you need more precise recommendations, ask the specialists of POLYSAN.

Previous coat – acrylic water-based products. Subsequent coat – acrylic water-based products. We recommend testing product compatibility on a small area of the surface.

Wash the tools thoroughly with water. Don't let them dry.
