Terrix EC-PS 10L Polymer-Silicate Paint

AREAS OF APPLICATIONS
Polymer-silicate premium paint to be used for outdoor applications as a protective and decorative coating. Based on innovative Swiss technology combining silicate and dispersion binding agents. It is recommended for both new buildings and renovation projects. Can be applied on mineral substrates (such as traditional lime renders, cement-lime renders and cement renders as well as thin coat mineral renders, silicate renders, polymer-silicate renders). Terrix EP-PS can be used for recoating of substrates with synthetic-based paint coatings when mineral paint coating is required. The polymer-silicate paint offers reduced alkalinity thanks to which the impact of atmospheric conditions on the quality of created paint coating has been significantly reduced. Terrix EP-PS is very resistant to dirt and offers full vapour permeability. Absorbent mineral substrates, prior to paint application, require priming with Terrix PR-PS-P.

APPLICATION METHOD
Substrate: sound, degreased, clean, dry and efflorescence free; Priming: Absorbent and chalking substrates should be primed with Terrix PR-PS-P 24 hours before painting. Paint preparation: Directly before use mix thoroughly. If required add a small amount of water (max 10% for the first coat and 5% for the second coat); Temperature of application: (air and substrate): from +5°C to +25°C. Avoid application in strong wind, during direct exposure to sunlight and rain; Application: Paint should be applied in two coats with brush, roller or by spray application (including airless method). The second coat can be applied once the first coat is completely dry (min. 3÷4 hours). Each element of façade should be painted in one working cycle, with paint from one production batch. Drying: Typical drying time ca.3h (20°C, 55% RH). Complete curing (hardening) of paint made takes min. 24 hours. Protect paint coating against precipitation and humidity concentration until it is completely dry.
