Fulfils the emission and VOC content requirements of LEED v4 (according to the method accepted for investments realized outside USA) and BREEAM classification system.


Recommended Uses

Ceilings and walls in dry interior premises in public buildings.


Coverage

Theoretical coverage 8-11 m²/l. Recommended dry film thickness: 42-63 um. Practical coverage depends on the application method, conditions, shape and roughness of the surface to be treated.


Thinner

Waterborne


Application Method

spraying, brush, roller


Storage


Application Conditions

The surface to be painted must be dry, the temperature at least +10°C and the relative humidity of the air below 80%.


Surface preparation

Unpainted surfaces: Clean the new surfaces by removing any dirt and dust. Fill the surfaces with a suitable Tikkurila Presto or Prestonit filler, if needed, and sand the dried surface. Remove the sanding dust. Prime with Ässä 1 Primer and Ceiling paint. Previously painted surfaces: Wash previously painted surfaces with Maalipesu detergent and rinse carefully with water. Fill the cracks and holes with a suitable Tikkurila Presto or Prestonit filler and sand the dried surface. Remove the sanding dust. Prime with Ässä 1 Primer and Ceiling paint, if needed.


Painting

First coat:

Stir Ässä 20 well before use and thin with water, if necessary. Apply 1-2 times with a roller, spray or brush.


Maintenance Painting:

Surfaces painted with Ässä 20 can be maintenance painted with the same or similar water-borne paint. See Pretreatment.


Maintenance Instructions

If product is used as topcoat, surfaces can be cleaned after approx. 1 month from treating the surface, at the earliest. Clean the surfaces with a neutral (pH 6–8) cleaning solution and e.g. a sponge or cleaning cloth. Clean very dirty surfaces with a mild alkaline (pH 8–10) cleaning solution and e.g. a cleaning cloth or sponge. After washing, rinse the surface thoroughly. Follow the dilution instructions given by the detergent manufacturer when mixing the cleaning solution. After surface treatment, surfaces must be handled with care for a few weeks, as the product will reach its final hardness and durability after about a month under normal conditions. If the surfaces need to be cleaned soon after finishing, clean them lightly with a damp cleaning cloth.


VOC

(cat A/a) 30g/l (2010) Ässä 20 contains VOC max. 10g/l.


Wear resistance

Ässä 20 is suitable for exposure class 04 premises, such as stairwells and public spaces exposed to heavy wear. The renovation paint is highly resistant to washing and mechanical stress.
