DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Surface Preparation
The surface should be sound, free of fine dust and laitance. The surfaces may be sanded with appropriate grades of emery sheets depending on the firmness of the substrate and the amount dirt to be removed. The surface to be treated should be free of oil, grease, algal growth, dust and loose particles. Water washing may also be done well before application. All surfaces must be moisture free dry before application. Presence of moisture will cause blisters in the finish coat. Use of acids/ alkali’s, detergents or other cleaning agents should be avoided unless it is required to remove oil contamination. In this case thorough water washing should follow detergent washing and the surface should be left to attain moisture free dryness. Concrete/ masonry substrates should have completed their curing period and should be moisture-free dry.
Mixing
TecR Brite QA is a single component solvent based system that may be applied directly. However, the contents should be stirred well in their containers before use.
Application
Application may be done over the prepared surface by brush and finished with a roller. However, application with a good quality brush is most ideal. Sponge application is also suitable, but TecR Brite QA should be thinned by upto 10% (depending on the application conditions) using Tec Nova SOL. Application should be carried outas quickly as possible as the material will jell rapidly. Do not apply at temperatures above 35°C or below 10°C.Ideal application temperature would be in the range 25°C to 30°C. A minimum of two coats must be applied.
