Specifications
Area Coverage
Coverage area is approximately 20m² per coat per 3L. Two coats are normally recommended, but on block work or very porous, coarse surfaces 3 - 4 coats may be required.
Drying Time
Richco Scrubbable Wall Coating obtains best results in warm conditions at a minimum temperature of 15°C. Do not apply below 10°C.
Surface Preparation
Plaster, Concrete, Brick and Masonry: Plaster should be dry and thoroughly
cured. Any soft, dusty layer on new
plaster should be removed. Render
and concrete should be dry
and at least four weeks old and free
of any soft laitance and contaminants.
Thoroughly remove all loose material
by wire brushing. General dirt etc.
should be removed.
The surface must be absolutely free of
all contamination before the product is
applied.
Surfaces with Algae or Fungal Growth: Remove all growths by wire brushing.
Apply a suitable fungicide solution
following the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Painted Surfaces: Remove all defective
paint and sand to create a key.
Damp Surfaces: To ensure penetration,
the surface should be as dry as possible,
clean, sound and free of any loose
material.
Mixing
Stir and empty the
complete contents of all packets and stir with a
wide bladed tool very thoroughly until an
even colour is obtained.
Application
Best results are obtained in warm
conditions (preferably at a minimum
15°C) with good ventilation. Do not
apply below 10°C. Apply using a short
pile type roller. Only use a brush
for cutting in since a more even finish
is achieved using a roller.
Avoid applying too thickly. Do not re-work areas of
coating or attempt to even out areas
which are starting to cure and showing
differences in colour. Any colour
differences should disappear when the
coating is thoroughly cured. The second
coat should be applied within 24 hours.
On high suction backgrounds or very
damp surfaces three or more coats may
be required. The first coat on damp
surfaces may appear streaky. This effect
will reduce after curing.
Application Tools
Apply Richco Scrubbable Wall Coating using a short pile type roller. Only use a brush for cutting in. Mix product with a wide bladed tool.
Cleaning of Application Tools
Rollers should be cleaned with warm soapy water before the product has cured.
