DESCRIPTION

Primax Regal Weather Care is a 100% pure acrylic based paint specially formulated to with stand the harsh, hot and humid climate of subcontinent. The special acrylic binder gives a durable and long lasting matt finish with low dirt pickup. Primax Weather Care’s special formulation will also protect against concrete carbonation. It is ideal for decorating and protecting exterior surfaces and specially suited as a maintenance product.

USES
For use on most exterior surfaces onto concrete and cement plaster. Can also be used as topcoat on other emulsion based paints and as a topcoat for textured, rough textured and Graffitto systems.

Physical properties
Colour Refer to the Primax Weather Care Shade Card.
Solids (vol %)* 34 ± 2
*Measured according to ISO 3233:1998 (E)
Surface preparation
The substrate must be sound, clean, dry, free from dust, oil, grease and laitance etc. All traces of release agents must be removed. On chalky and dusty surfaces, all loose material must be removed by stiff bristle brushing.
Other surfaces
The coating may be used on other substrates.
Application methods
Spray         Use airless spray or conventional spray
Brush         Recommended
Roller        Recommended

Application data
Thinner/Cleaner                     Water
Guiding data airless spray
Pressure at nozzle                 140 – 190 kg./cm² (2100 p.s.i.)
Nozzle tip                             0.021” – 0.027”

Note: Check to ensure that filters are clean.
Drying time
Drying times are generally related to air circulation, temperature, film thickness and number of coats, and will be affected correspondingly. The figures given in the table are typical with:
* Good ventilation (Outdoor exposure or free circulation of air)
* Typical film thickness
* One coat on top of inert substrate
* Relative humidity 70%

Substrate temperature	10°C	23°C	40°C
Surface dry	12 h	6 h	2 h
Through dry	16 h	8 h	4 h
Dry to recoat, minimum 1	12 h	6 h	2 h
Dry to recoat, maximum 2,3

1. Recommended data given for recoating with the same generic type of paint.
2. In case of multi-coat application, drying times will be influenced by the number and sequence and by the total thickness of previous coats applied – reference is made to the corresponding system data sheet.
3. The surface should be dry and free from any contamination prior to application of the subsequent coat.
The given data must be considered as guidelines only. The actual drying time/times before recoating may be shorter or longer, depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, underlying paint system, requirement for early handling and mechanical strength etc. A complete system can be described on a system sheet, where all parameters and special conditions could be included.
Typical paint system
Primax Exterior Primer          1 coat
