AKRYLATEX W – Latex paint for walls and ceilings

A dispersion topcoat paint to be used for protective and decorative paint coatings inside buildings, both in “dry” and “wet” rooms. Especially recommended for painting walls in rooms with high traffic (such as corridors, staircases) and in wet rooms (such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms). It can be used in housing, public utility, healthcare facilities and food industry plants (without a direct contact with food). It creates a flexible coating with high tightness and resistance to wet scrubbing, as well as the adverse eff ects of water and the soiling process. It is used to paint on any mineral substrate, acrylic renders and on substrates covered with well-set plastic-based renders, including surfaces covered with fibreglass wallpapers. Absorbent substrates should be primed with BUDOGRUNT WG or AQUALIT undercoat before applying the paint.

• Top resistance to washing and wet scrubbing
• Easy to keep clean
• Effective damp-proofing
• Very good coverage and high usage capability
• Wide range of colours
• For use on both mineral substrates and plastic-based renders/plasters
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION: Substrate should be sound/stable (without scratches and cracks), degreased, clean and dry, and free of biological contamination and chemical efflorescence. In case of algae/fungi growth, the substrate should be cleaned mechanically and then washed with water and disinfected with fungicidal agent for interiors. Any loose layers, not bound to the substrate (e.g., loose render or flaked coatings), should be removed. Old and/or dirty substrates
should be washed and degreased with water and CLEANFORCE cleaning agent. For particularly uneven substrates (from 5 mm to 15 mm), first use levelling compounds, and then smooth out the wall surface with PROFINISZ base coat. Minor unevenness (up to 5 mm) can be levelled out and smoothed straight away with PROFINISZ base coat. An absorbent substrate should be primed with BUDOGRUNT WG before applying levelling compounds or base coats. If the paint is applied on new mineral substrates (i.e. concrete, cement render and cement-lime render) – a minimum 4 weeks of curing are required, for gypsum renders a minimum of 2 weeks, while drywall systems can be coated directly after grinding and dedusting.
PRIMING: A substrate should be primed with BUDOGRUNT WG before applying the paint. Prime gypsum or heterogeneous substrates with AQUALIT primer. The curing period of the product or primer applied to the substrate before applying the paint is about 4 hours. Note: Substrates with low wettability (such as plastic-based renders or dispersion paint coatings) should not be primed and should be only washed with water and the CLEANFORCE product.
PAINT PREPARATION: If necessary, the paint can be diluted by adding a small amount of potable water (by adding to the first painting max. 10% of volume and to the second one max. 5%). Quantity of added water may vary depending on the substrate type, drying conditions and application method.
APPLICATION: The paint should be applied on the substrate in two layers with a brush, roller or by spraying (including also “airless” method). The second paint layer should be applied only after the first one dries completely, i.e. after min.3-4 hours. It is recommended to use a special fleece paint roller with a bristle length of min. 18 mm.
DRYING: Typical drying time for one layer of paint applied onto a substrate is approx. 3 hours (at air temperature +20°C, 55% RH). After painting, closed rooms should be ventilated until the specific smell disappears. The coating obtains its full mechanical properties after 4 weeks. Note: At low temperatures and high air humidity, the paint drying time will be longer. Protect the newly applied paint from drying too quickly. The coating obtains its full mechanical and functional
properties after 4 weeks.
USEFUL HINTS: In order to avoid colour differences, it is necessary to create a surface constituting a separate architectural whole in one work cycle with material from the same production batch. Paint application and drying should take place at temperatures over +5°C. Tools should be cleaned with water immediately after finishing work. If surfaces of disadvantageous lighting are painted, it is recommended to apply AQUATEX or OPTILATEX deep matt paint or TOP WHITE ANTI-REFLEX.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: If the paint is applied on substrates with cracks with a width of up to 0.3 mm (e.g., small shrinking cracks of the mineral render), it is recommended to use paint reinforced with microfibres for the first painting (an option available on request). In order to increase the resistance of the paint coating to mould growth, it is recommended to apply a special protective agent to the paint (additional service).
