PROFILATEX – Ceramic paint with high resistance to soiling
A high-quality ceramic topcoat paint for the application of protective and decorative paint coatings inside buildings, both in “dry” and “wet” rooms. Particularly recommended for painting walls and ceilings with high aesthetic and functional requirements in rooms with high traffi c, such as passageways, halls, corridors, offices, kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. It can be used in housing, public utility, healthcare facilities, nursing homes and food industry plants (without a direct contact with food). Intended for painting mineral substrates (such as cement, cement-lime, lime and gypsum renders, as well as plasterboards), as well as those covered with a coating, plastic-based render/plaster and substrates covered with fibreglass and paper wallpapers. For use both for primary and renovation painting on substrates with uniform or variable structure and colour. Absorbent substrates should be primed with BUDOGRUNT WG or AQUALIT base coat before applying the paint. The paint is also available in a hygienic version upon special order, which allows for the creation of a coating that protects against microorganisms, especially in hospitals, in treatment and operating rooms, as well as in medical and dental offi ces.

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 fungi growth, the substrate should be cleaned mechanically and then washed with water and disinfected with fungicidal agent for interiors. 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 (e.g., loose render or flaked coatings), should be removed. The remnants of adhesive or lime paints should be thoroughly removed and the substrate should be washed with water. Old and/or dirty substrates should be washed and degreased with water and CLEANFORCE cleaning agent. For particularly uneven substrates, first use KOMBI FINISZ filling compound, and then smooth out the whole surface with PROFINISZ smoothing compound. Small unevenness can be smoothed right away with PROFINISZ smoothing compound. Absorbent substrates should be primed with BUDOGRUNT WG prior to applying smoothing compounds and/or renders. Fresh cement renders and cement-lime renders can be painted after 3-4 weeks of curing period, gypsum renders after 2 weeks, while the so-called “drywall construction” can be painted directly after polishing and removing dust. Note: The PROFINISZ finishing compound may be applied only in rooms, where relative air humidity does not exceed 70%.
PRIMING: Absorbent or dusty (strongly chalking) substrates should be primed with BUDOGRUNT WG before applying the paint. Prime gypsum or heterogeneous substrates with AQUALIT primer. Drying time for the product applied on a substrate or primer is about 4 hours under optimum weather conditions (temperature +20°C and relative humidity of 55%). When product or base applied on the substrate is completely dry, PROFILATEX paint may be applied. 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. Before proceeding to painting plastic-based substrates, a trial painting is recommended.
PAINT PREPARATION: If necessary, the paint can be diluted with a small amount of potable water, by adding 10% by volume to the fi rst painting and 5% to the second (when determining the amount of water, the type of substrate, drying conditions and application technique should be taken into account). Note: Mixing PROFILATEX with other paints may aff ect its technical performance.
APPLICATION: The paint should be applied on the substrate in two layers with a brush, paint roller (recommended) made of fleece with a bristle length of 18 mm or by spraying (including also “airless” method). The second coat can be applied only after the fi rst one is completely dry.
DRYING: Typical drying time for one layer of paint applied onto a substrate is approx. 4 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. The coating obtains its full mechanical and functional properties after 4 weeks.
USEFUL HINTS: In order to avoid colour diff erences, 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 fi nishing work. If surfaces of disadvantageous lighting are painted, it is recommended to apply AQUATEX or OPTILATEX or TOP WHITE ANTI-REFLEX deep matt paint.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: If the paint is applied on substrates with cracks with a width of up to 0.3 mm (e.g., shrinking cracks of the mineral render coat), it is recommended to use paint reinforced with microfi bres for the fi rst 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).
