Finngard Silicate Primer

Tikkurila Finngard Silicate Primer is a waterborne, a mineral preparation for priming external surfaces, used before applying Tikkurila Finngard Silicate Solid.

• Primer reduces the absorbency of the substrate • Strengthens loose substrates • Increases the performance of the topcoat, which contributes to reducing the cost of painting the facade.

The product is used for priming concrete surfaces, cement and lime plaster, lime plaster, thin-layer silicate plasters, thin-layer mineral-polymer plasters and sand-lime bricks. It can also be used on substrates previously painted with lime or silicate paint. It is not recommended for surfaces previously painted with organic paints unless the entire organic coating is thoroughly removed.

6-8 m2/l per one coat, depending on the absorbency and structure of the substrate, application method and painting tool used. Attempt to determine the performance for a given substrate. Make test painting in order to determine the coverage of the substrate.

Waterborne

brush, roller

Work at air and substrate temp. not lower than +5°C and not higher than +25°C. Avoid direct sunlight, relative humidity> 80%, rain and frost. Protect the paint coating from rain for min. 48 hours - the optimum temperature and humidity conditions (temperature +20°C, relative humidity below 55%). This interval under conditions of elevated humidity and lower temperatures of air and ground may be extended.

Surfaces of new cement-lime, cement and concrete plasters should be seasoned min. 7 days. Remove loose substrates, dirt, greasy stains and salt efflorescence. Remove chalky surfaces (eg by abrasive blasting). Glassy surfaces should be mechanically matted. Remove algae, lichens and fungi using Tikkurila Homeenpoistotabletti or Biowash Cleaner according to the instructions for use. Wash the facade with water at high pressure. Irregularities and cracks should be leveled with mortar close to the original composition.

First coat:

Apply system: primer + facade paint by Tikkurila brand. Do not apply on horizontal surfaces exposed to direct contact with weather conditions: rain, snow. The manufacturer is not responsible for poor quality coating in case when above instructions are disregarded. It is recommended to use ANZA painting tools.
