Suitable Substrates

NEW CONSTRUCTIONS:

• Wait until complete curing (minimum 30 days).
• Clean any possible efflorescence with abrasive blasting.
• On polished surfaces, sand to open the pores.
• Clean the surface from foreign substances or construction material residues. 
• Fill in defects on the substrate with suitable exterior filler compound.
• Remove any possible dust, grease and any other contaminants.
• Apply a FIJAMOR layer diluted with 3 parts of water, to fix and equalise the absorption of the substrate.
• Apply the paint according to the instructions given.
   

OLD CONSTRUCTIONS: (Restoration or maintenance)

• For painted surfaces, it is essential to check the solidity and adhesion of the paint, determine its nature to avoid potential incompatibilities, and remove dust, dirt, and poorly adhered paint before repainting.
• Treat surfaces with mould using bleach or another suitable disinfectant.
• Level any irregularities with a suitable amount of paste. Let it dry and sand it.
• Apply a FIJADOR-SELLADOR coat diluted with 3 parts of water, to fix and equalise the absorption of the substrate.
• Apply the paint according to the instructions given.

Application Procedure

• On typical construction substrates, both outdoors and indoors, especially recommended for:
  • Concrete
  • Cellular concrete
  • Cement mortars
• In all cases, the substrate must be firm, clean, free from remnants of old paint, oils, grease, dust, release agents, etc.
• The substrate can be damp but not wet.
• The substrate temperature should be at least +5ºC and at most +30ºC, and efforts should be made to maintain uniform temperatures during application and curing.
• Shake until perfect homogenisation.
• Dilute the first coat with 10-15% water to ensure good product penetration. 
• Dilute the second coat and subsequent ones using up to 5% of water.
• It can be applied by brush, roll or pistole, previously shaking and diluting the product respectively.
• Tools must be cleaned with abundant water before the paint dries.

Recommendations

• Always homogenize the product before applying.
• Dilute the product according to the porosity and condition of the substrate to ensure maximum penetration of the first coat into the substrate.
• Total thickness of the coat of around 250 microns when wet is recommended.  
• Do not apply under 5ºC.
• Do not apply the product with relative humidity above the 85% nor on wet substrates.
• Do not apply under the risk of rains.
• Do not use consumption rates lower or higher than those specified without consulting our Technical Department.
• Do not use on substrates that will be submerged or in permanent contact with water.

Technical data

Notas

The information and instructions in this datasheet are based on our current tests and technical knowledge. They are intended as general guidance and do not constitute a binding commitment by PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC. It is the sole responsibility of the user to verify, prior to use, that the product is suitable for the intended application and to ensure that it is applied correctly and in accordance with applicable regulations and good industry practice.

PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC cannot control how its products are applied on site throughout the entire project and therefore cannot accept responsibility for their application by contractors or other parties involved in the execution of the work. Support visits to the jobsite by our technical staff do not change that. Our responsibility is limited exclusively to defects that can be directly attributed to the supplied products, whether used individually or as part of a system, caused by manufacturing defects.

It is the responsibility of the project designer, site manager, contractor, or other relevant professionals to ensure that the selected products are appropriate for the specific project, taking into account their properties, the substrate, site conditions, and any existing issues.

In the event of a claim, the original packaging must be provided to ensure proper product traceability.

Any performance values stated for PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC products or construction solutions, whether in UNE standards or other applicable standards, are based solely on the specific test conditions defined in those standards (such as substrate type, temperature, and humidity). These values may not apply to situations where products are tested or used under different conditions.
