ARMASIL GT
Primer for silicone renders
Coloured product based on acrylic dispersion with the addition of silicone hydrophobising agents intended for proper preparation of the substrate for ARMASIL T and ARMASIL T AKORD silicone renders. Suitable for priming of all typical construction substrates outside buildings and coats in KABE THERM RENO, KABE THERM AKORD, KABE THERM ELASTO and KABE THERM MW EWI systems and in the ARMASIL RSA RENOVATION SYSTEM.
To be applied on mineral substrates (such as concrete, cement render, cement-lime render) and on substrates covered with well set and bound polymer-based coatings.
| Base binder: | silicone and acrylic binder; |
| Pigments: | non-organic coloured pigments; |
| The content of volatile organic compounds VOC: | cat. A/g. The product contains less than 30 g/l VOC; |
| Density: | ca. 1.30 g/cm³; |
| Colours: | white or coloured to the render colour; |
| Solids content: | ca. 44%; |
| Average coverage: | ca. 0.20 l/m² (depending on the substrate water absorption); |

| Relative humidity: | ≤75%; |
| Packaging: | Single-use plastic packaging of 5 and 10 l; |
| Storage: | The product should be stored in its sealed packaging in cool condition but protected from frost. Opened packaging should be tightly closed and used as quickly as possible; |
| Shelf life: | Originally sealed products have a 12-month shelf life from the date of production (this is printed on the side of the packaging). |
– Improves the top coat adhesion
– Reduces and equalises substrate water absorption
– Assures high vapour permeability
– Makes render application and texture modelling easier
– Reduces the effect of substrate showing if it is coloured to the render colour
– Features a very high adhesion to both mineral substrates and polymer coatings
– Limits the possibility of algae and fungi growth
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION: Apply to a sound/stable and clean substrate (without cracks and delaminations), degreased, even and dry, and biological or chemical efflorescence free.In case of algae/fungi growth, the substrate should
be cleaned mechanically and then wash with water and disinfect with ALGIZID. Any loose layers not bound to the substrate (i.e. loose render or flaked coatings) should be removed. Old and/or dirty substrates should be washed off and
degreased with water and CLEANFORCE cleaning agent. For uneven substrates, first use levelling compound and then level out the surface with finish levelling and smoothing compound. Small unevenness can be levelled out at once with finish levelling and smoothing compound. Use the above products according to their technical data sheets. Absorbent substrates should be primed before levelling compound and/or finish levelling and smoothing compound application. Please note: if product is applied on new mineral substrates (such as concrete, cement render and cement-lime render), 2-week curing period is required.
Prior to the use of the product in KABE THERM RENO, KABE THERM AKORD, KABE THERM ELASTO or KABE THERM MW EWI systems, all coats of systems should be applied in accordance with the External Thermal Insulation
Composite Systems – ETICS. The product can be applied only when reinforcing coat is completely dry, i.e. after 3-4 days under normal conditions.
PRODUCT PREPARATION: The packaging contains a ready-to-use product. It cannot be diluted.
APPLICATION: The product to be applied on the substrate by using of a paint brush or roller.
DRYING: Before applying render, the product used on the substrate requires curing of ca. 24 hours. Protect the newly made coating against precipitation and condensation until it dries completely.
USEFUL HINTS: To be applied on dry days with temperatures above +5°C. Drying time may be longer due to low temperatures and high relative humidity. If such is the case, it is necessary to wait until the primer dries out completely before applying the render. All tools should be cleaned with water after work is completed. Application during direct exposure to sunlight or in strong winds is not recommended. To protect wet product against inclement weather conditions, scaffolding should be covered with some protective netting.
