Recommended Uses
Residential, commercial, industrial and storage buildings, parking garages, etc.
Approx. 8 m²/l, one coat. Coverage is affected by the roughness and porosity of the surface as well as the painting method and conditions.
Thinner
Waterborne
The surface to be painted must be dry, the ambient temperature at least +2 °C and the relative humidity of air below 90%. Do not paint in strong sunlight.
Surface preparation
Unpainted surfaces: The substrate has to be sufficiently dry and hard before treatment. (New concrete and the surfaces rendered with cement-lime and cement rich renders must be seasoned min. 4 weeks) Clean the unpainted surfaces of any dirt, dust and salt. Surfaces with mold, moss etc. are cleaned with Tikkurila (cleaning product depending on market) in accordance with the instructions. Smooth, glassy concrete surfaces must always be treated mechanically to create an appropriate surface profile and remove any laitance. Carry out necessary repairs, patching and filling applying suitable products according to instructions. Previously painted surface: Surfaces are cleaned by removing any dirt, dust or salt. Surfaces with mold, moss etc. are cleaned with Tikkurila (cleaning product depending on market) in accordance with the instructions. Remove any flaking and poorly adhering paint coats. Select the removal method according to the strength of the substrate and paint type to be removed (e.g. wire brushing, pressure washing with hot water or wet sand-blasting). Carry out necessary repairs, patching and filling applying suitable products according to instructions.
Painting
First coat:
Apply two coats of the product with desired application method and according to instructions on coverage and application conditions. If needed, the paint can be thinned for priming up to 5% with water. For finishing, use unthinned paint.
Maintenance Painting:
Surfaces painted with Finngard Silicon Allweather can be maintenance treated with Finngard 150, Finngard 500, Finngard Silikonihartsimaali, Finngard 1,5 H, Finngard 3,0 H and Finngard Silikonihartsipinnoite.
Maintenance Instructions
Dirty surfaces can be carefully washed with a pressure washer without any detergent no earlier than one month after the surface treatment. The washing may leave permanent marks on the surface, so the area to be washed should be designed inconspicuously following the lines of the structure. Clean dry, loose dirt lightly with a soft brush, without rubbing the surface.
