DESCRIPTION :
Bio Enamel Lacquer is a dirt-and water-repellent, semi gloss
or matt
painted finish, containing no toxic solvents, resins or
heavy metals.
It is suitable for use on toys, paneling, skirting
boards, architraves, doors and
\windows. Extreme low VOC - less than 1gr. Per Litre.
PREPARATION
: Prepare the surface in accordance Australian Standard
2311 Painting of Buildings. Do not apply coatings to
unseasoned or wet timber. Surfaces
and already painted
surfaces in gloss or semi glass paint should be well
sanded, dry and cleaned of greasy, waxy and dirty
contaminants using BIO Thinner. Round off sharp edges.
It is also good practice to prime back surfaces.
Hardwoods and other timbers rich in natural oils, waxes,
acids and terpenes should be degreased using Bio Thinner
because these substances may mix with the paint and
prolong its drying time. Imperfect coatings may require
complete stripping before applying BIO products. Timber
moisture content must be under 15% for softwood, and
under 12% for hardwood. Fill imperfections and cracks
with a suitable filler.
Application:
Stir thoroughly before use with a broad flat stirrer.
Apply one coat of Undercoat on new or imperfect surfaces and two coats of topcoat. Thin as desired with water only to obtain a smooth flowing consistency.
Minimum dry film thickness is 100 microns. Maintain a
wet edge when painting. Best results are achieved using
thin coats. Thick coats will cause runs to appear.
METAL PRIMER
: Provides anti-corrosive protection for steel,
aluminum, brass and copper. Not effective on zinc and
galvanized surfaces. The metal should be cleaned of all
grease, dirt, processing soil, salt residues, weld
scale, rust and other residue which is likely to affect
the performance of a protective coating. Apply 1-2 coats
of Metal Primer thinly and evenly. Lightly sand between
coats when completely dry. Finish with Bio Enamel
Lacquer, white or coloured.
DRYING
: Drying time on a day of around 25 C is approx. 2-4
hours. During cold and humid weather allow longer drying
time Apply second and subsequent coats only after
previous coat has thoroughly dried. Do not be tempted to
apply paint too thickly, as this retards the drying
process. Lightly sand if necessary after the undercoat.
Do not use below +12C and above 80% humidity, in cold
damp conditions, when condensation, rain, dew or frost
are likely to occur or hot days, direct sunlight or hot
surfaces. Provide adequate ventilation during
application and drying. Avoid steam and condensation for
48 hours. Reaches maximum durability after 8-14 days.
