OPTILATEX
Latex paint for walls and ceilings
Modern latex topcoat paint for performance of decorative paint coatings inside buildings. It is intended for painting walls and ceilings in ‘dry’ residential rooms, public utility rooms including health service premises, educational and nursing premises as well as in service and production plants including food industry (without direct contact with food). It may be used both for painting substrates of uniform and changeable structure and colour. It makes up aesthetic, smooth coating of high finishing standard and pleasant deep matt optics. It features high resistance to yellowing and washing off or scrubbing.
It is applied for primary and renovation painting of mineral substrates (i.e. concrete, cement plasters and cement-lime plasters, lime plasters and skim coats and drywalls) and on substrates covered with well set and bound polymer-based coats.
Absorbent or chalk substrates should be primed with BUDOGRUNT WG or AQUALIT before paint application.

• Very high coverage
• Pleasant painting
• Perfect result
• For mineral and painted substrates
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION: Apply to a sound/stable and clean substrate (without cracks and delaminations), degreased, dry, and free of biological contamination or chemical efflorescence. In the case of fungal growth, the substrate
should be mechanically cleaned and then disinfect with an indoor fungicide. Discolourations, nicotine stains and efflorescences caused by water stains should be painted first with MILAMAT stain blocker. Any loose layers not bound to the substrate (i.e. loose render or flaked coatings) should be removed. The remnants of adhesive or lime paints should be thoroughly removed and the substrate washed with water. Old and/or dirty substrates should be washed
off and degreased with water and CLEANFORCE cleaning agent. For uneven substrates, first use KOMBI FINISZ levelling compound and then level the surface with PROFINISZ ready-to-use finishing compound. Small unevenness can
be levelled out at once with PROFINISZ ready-to-use finishing compound. Absorbent substrates should be primed with BUDOGRUNT WG before levelling compounds application. Fresh cement plasters and cement-lime plasters may be painted after 3-4 weeks of curing period, gypsum plasters after 2 weeks, while the so-called drywall construction can be painted directly after polishing and dust removing.
PRIMING: Prior to paint application, absorbent or dusty (strongly chalking) substrates should be primed with BUDOGRUNT WG. Gypsum substrates or non-uniform ones should be primed with AQUALIT. Typical drying time ca. 3 h for the product or base applied on the substrate in optimum conditions (20°C, 55% RH). When product or base applied on the substrate is completely dry, OPILATEX paint may be applied. Note: Substrates of low wettability (such as top coats based on polymers or dispersion coatings) should not be primed and should be only washed with water and CLEANFORCE cleaning agent.
PAINT PREPARATION: If required, add a small amount of clean water adding 10% of volume for the first painting and 5% for the second one (when determining the amount of water, it is necessary to take into account the type of substrate, drying conditions and application technique).
APPLICATION: Paint should be applied on the substrate in two layers with a brush, roller or by spraying (including also the ‘airless’ method). It is recommended to use a fleece paint roller with a bristle length of 18 mm. The second coat can be applied only after the first one is completely dry.
DRYING: Typical drying time of a single layer of paint applied to the substrate lasts approx. 3 h (20°C, 55% RH). After painting, closed rooms should be aired until the specific smell disappears. Note: Drying time may be longer due to low temperatures and high relative humidity. The coating obtains its full mechanical and functional properties after 4 weeks.
USEFUL HINTS: To avoid colour differences, a single batch product should be applied to entire facade or element in one working cycle. Application and drying of the paint requires air temperature above +5°C. All tools to be cleaned with water after finishing work.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: When applying the paint on substrates with scratches up to 0.3 mm wide (such as shrinkage cracks in mineral plaster), it is recommended to use a microfiber-reinforced paint for the first painting (option available on order). 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).
