Acrylic structure stucco grain size 1.0-1.5 mm Farbex

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 Plaster 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 not be treated for 28 days, fresh concrete - 3 months, the surfaces of insulating systems -  7 days.

Providing maximum exploitation resistance and a better decorative effect, depending on the type of surface, it must be primed:

Wooden porous surfaces – with acrylic wood-protective primer TM Maxima. Attention! The primer raises the wood fibers, which is why the surface must be polished before applying the paint.

Mineral surfaces – with acrylic deep-penetrating primer TM Farbex.

Hard types of OSB, wood chip boards, fiber boards, wallpapers, and hard old paint coatings need no priming before applying the paint.

Take into account recommendations about priming construction mortars or products. If necessary, call the specialists of POLYSAN.

When the primer gets dry, and before applying the plaster, you must apply a coat of paint primer with quartz filler TM Farbex. The quartz primer must be tinted in the color of decorative plaster. For difficult base surfaces (see the sphere of application) apply a coat of adhesive primer Beton-kontakt TM Farbex. The adhesive primer must be tinted in the color of the decorative plaster.

Before applying the putty, make sure that the surface is dry enough after preparation. Stir thoroughly with a mixer pod and drill before use.

Apply the plaster in 1 coat.

 Apply the plaster at a temperature of the air and the surface from +5 °C to +35 ºС and relative air humidity less than 80%. Do not apply the plaster under direct sunlight, strong wind, subzero temperature, and precipitation. After application, the surface must not be affected with precipitations or subzero temperatures during 24 hours. After 3 days, the coating can resist intensive loading, and it becomes fully hard in 28 days.

When you apply the plaster on large areas and/or for a long period, we recommend stirring it from time to time. We do not recommend keeping the container with the product open.Acrylic textured plaster “Lamb” can be applied by following methods:

The tools must be recommended for water-based products.

When you apply by a spraying method, follow the instructions for exploitation. In case you apply the plaster with a machine, the use of texturing tools is not obligatory.

When you apply the plaster with a trowel or a stainless steel spatula. Remove extra material from the surface precisely after application, making the thickness of the coat a grain size, and evenly texturing it with a plastic trowel. Depending on the style of application movements (circle, wave-like, etc.), you can receive various patterns on the surface.

When you apply the plaster manually, we recommend application by two persons, because working on one surface “from edge to edge” or within decorative elements, you must do it contentiously using the method “wet on wet”. Carry out texturing by the same method, the same tool on the whole surface without letting it dry on the edge of applying product.

For a quality coating, you must obtain painting skills, especially if you use a professional instrument. During façade works, we recommend using façade tents and scaffolding. 

Compatibility with other coatings

Depending on the conditions of exploitation, the putty can be used with various finishing coatings. The examples of compatibility are given below. For more precise recommendations, call the specialist of POLYSAN company.

A previous coat – we recommend applying acrylic water-based products.

A subsequent coat – acrylic water-based products.

We recommend testing the compatibility of the products on a small area of the surface.

Clean tools with water after application. Do not let them dry. Dry product shall be removed  from the tools in mechanical way.
