AKORD PRINT – Structural paint for spraying

It is used for machine (spraying) application of structural paint coatings inside buildings in residential and public utility buildings. Creates a durable coating with attractive spatial appearance, high impact resistance and texture imitating the look of a sprayed wallpaper or “dots”. Intended for use on mineral substrates (e.g., concrete, cement render, cement-lime render) and on substrates covered with a well-bonded plastic-based paint coating. Before applying the structural paint, the substrate requires repainting with AQUATEX or PERFEKTA paint.

• Possibility of additional protection with transparent varnish

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION: Substrate should be sound/stable (without scratches and cracks), degreased, even and dry, as well as 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. Old mineral substrates should be washed away with a dispersed stream of water. Any loose layers, not bound to the substrate (e.g., loose render or flaked coatings), should be removed. For particularly uneven substrates (from 5 mm to 15 mm), fi rst 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 structural paint is applied on new mineral substrates (e.g., concrete, cement render, cement-lime render) – a minimum 4 weeks of curing are required, for gypsum renders a minimum of 2 weeks, while drywall systems can be directly coated after grinding and dedusting.
UNDERCOAT LAYER PREPARATION: Before applying the structural paint, the substrate requires coating with AQUATEX or PERFEKTA paint. In the case of very absorbent substrates, such as gypsum plasters, prior to applying PERFEKTA paint, AQUALIT primer should be used. The curing period of the paint applied to the substrate is about 14 hours. It is recommended to make the undercoat layer in a colour different from the colour of the structural paint.
PAINT PREPARATION: The packaging contains a ready-to-use product. If stored for a long time and directly before application, the paint should be thoroughly mixed (with a low-speed mixer fitted with a basket stirrer), until a smooth, homogeneous consistency is obtained. Further mixing is not recommended, as it may result in excessive aeration of the paint. If required, to dilute the paint, add a small amount of drinking water (max. 0.1 litre per 10 litres of paint). Quantity of added water may vary depending on the substrate type, drying conditions and application method.
APPLICATION: By using a spraying machine at a working pressure of 3-4 atmospheres and a nozzle with a diameter of 2-6 mm, depending on the decorative effect. While spraying, the gun should be held perpendicularly to the substrate at a distance of 0.4-0.6 m.
DRYING: The drying time for the structural paint applied onto a substrate is approx. 6 hours (at +20°C, 55% RH). Complete hardening of render after approx. 48 hours. Surfaces exposed to wiping and mechanical damage, and requiring resistance to washing and scrubbing, e.g. dado in the corridors and stairwells, should be additionally protected with the MARCHRON varnish. Note: Drying time may be longer, up to several days, due to low temperatures and high relative humidity. After painting, closed rooms should be ventilated until the specifi c smell disappears. The coating obtains its full mechanical and functional properties after 4 weeks.
USEFUL HINTS: The final effect of the coating may depend on the substrate type. Therefore, for heterogeneous substrates, it is recommended to fi rst smooth out the entire surface with PROFINISZ base coat. 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, using the “wet on wet” method. Tools should be cleaned with water immediately after work is completed. Avoid working in draught and high humidity.
