Siro 20

Water-borne, semi-matte dispersion paint for interior painting.

Suitable for first application and maintenance painting of concrete, plaster, filler, plasterboard, chipboard, and wood fiberboard surfaces according to instructions.

Walls and ceilings in dry interior premises, e.g. living rooms, kitchens, offices and public spaces exposed to light wear.

Theoretical coverage 8-12 m²/l. Recommended dry film thickness: 32-45 um. Practical coverage depends on the application method, conditions, absorbency and roughness of the surface to be treated.

Waterborne

spraying, brush

Must be protected from frost. Store in a dry and cool place, protected from sunlight. Tinted paint or opened container does not withstand long-term storage. Close the can carefully for the next use.

The surface to be painted must be dry, the temperature at least +5°C and the relative humidity of the air below 80%.

Unpainted surfaces: Remove dirt and dust from the surfaces. If necessary, fill the surfaces with a suitable Tikkurila Presto or Prestonit filler and sand the dried surface. Remove the sanding dust. Prime with Siro 2 or Ykköspohja. Previously painted surfaces: Wash the surfaces with diluted Maalipesu detergent. Sand painted surfaces matte and remove any sanding dust. Fill the cracks and holes with a suitable Tikkurila Presto or Prestonit filler and sand the dried surface. Remove the sanding dust. Prime with Siro 2 or Ykköspohja, if required.

First coat:

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

Remove excess paint from tools and wash with water. Tikkurila Pensselipesu is recommended for paint that has hardened to a certain extent.

If needed, after approx. 1 month from treating the surface, at the earliest. Surfaces are cleaned with a damp cleaning tool moistened in a neutral (pH 6-8) washing solution. Very dirty surfaces are cleaned with a weakly alkaline (pH 8-10) washing solution. The surface may not remain wet after cleaning. Follow the dilution instructions given by the detergent manufacturer when mixing the cleaning solution. The product achieves its final hardness and durability after one month under normal conditions, and therefore the surfaces must be handled with care during this time. If the surfaces need to be cleaned soon after finishing, clean them gently with a damp cleaning cloth.
