Features

• Alkali resistant: Protects subsequent coats against alkali attack.
• Good penetration: Dissolved binder penetrates porous surfaces and seals them off.
• Good adhesion: To porous, chalky surfaces.
• 100% lead free.

Intended Usages

• Superior primer for new interior and exterior cement plaster.
• Primer for gypsum plaster, hardboard, gypsum boards and glass stone/rhinolite.

Application Details

• Mixing: Stir before use with a flat paddle to an even consistency. Stir occasionally during use.
• Method: Brush or roller.
• Thinning: ProGold Mineral Turpentine.
• Cleaning: Remove as much of the product as possible from the application equipment before cleaning with water ProGold Mineral Turpentine.

Conditions:

• Temperature between 5°C and 40°C.
• Relative humidity of less than 85%, preferably between 10: 00 and 16: 00.
• Ideally apply when the temperature of the substrate is at least 2°C above dew point.
• If possible away from direct sunlight.

Drying time:
Surface dry:  4 hours, Hard dry:  8 hours at 23°C.
Note:  Higher temperatures will accelerate the drying times (approximately halved for every 10°C increase), whilst lower temperatures will retard the drying time (approximately doubled for every 10°C decrease).

Recoating time: 16 hours.
Requirements: One coat.

Surface Preparations
Cement plaster:

• Apply directly.

Gypsum plaster:

• Apply directly.

Gypsum board, hardboard:

• Apply directly.

Chalky paint:

• Remove chalkiness and then apply.
• Conduct a masking tape test 24 hours after application to ensure that good adhesion is established before overcoating.

Not recommended for redecorating – primer only.

Limitations

• Use limited to that of a primer only.
• Prominent Paints Trade Plaster Primer is NOT a cure for damp problems.
• Can only be used on absorbent surfaces.
• Moisture content must not exceed 15%.
• Chalking takes place if exposed to UV rays.
• To ensure a consistent appearance ensure that batch numbers on all the containers are the same. Where the batch numbers differ, intermix before use.
