DESCRIPTION: Bio Enamel Lacquer is a thick,
dirt-repellent and water-repellent, gloss or satin painted finish,
containing no toxic solvents, resins or heavy metals. It is
suitable for all wood types, steel, aluminum and copper. Especially
suitable for use on toys, paneling, skirting and architraves,
garage doors and window frames.
PREPARATION: Prepare the surface in accordance Australian
Standard 2311 Painting of Buildings. Do not apply coatings to
unseasoned or wet timber. Surfaces should be well sanded, dry and
cleaned of greasy, waxy and dirty contaminants using BIO
Thinner. Round off sharp edges. Hardwoods and other
timbers rich in natural oils, waxes, acids and terpenes should be
degreased using Bio Thinner because these substances may mix with
the paint and prolong its drying time. Imperfect coats may require
complete stripping before applying BIO products. It is also good
practice to prime back surfaces. Timber moisture content must
be under 15% for softwood, and under 12% for hardwood.
APPLICATION: Stir thoroughly before use with a broad flat
stirrer. Thin as desired with 5-10% BIO Thinner to obtain a
smooth flowing consistency. Apply one coat of Undercoat and two
coats of topcoat. Minimum dry film thickness is 100 microns.
Maintain a wet edge when painting.
METAL PRIMER: Provides anti-corrosive protection for
steel, aluminum, brass and copper. Not effective on zinc and
galvanized surfaces. The metal should be cleaned of all grease,
dirt, processing soil, salt residues, weld scale, rust and other
residue which is likely to affect the performance of a protective
coating. Apply 1-2 coats of Metal Primer thinly and evenly. Lightly
sand between coats when completely dry. Finish with Bio Enamel
Lacquer, white or coloured.
DRYING : Apply second and subsequent coats only after
previous coat has thoroughly dried. This will take between 24 and
40 hours, and longer with cold or damp weather. Do not be tempted
to apply paint too thickly, as this retards the drying process.
Lightly sand if necessary after the undercoat. Do not use below
+12C and above 80% humidity, in cold damp conditions, when
condensation, rain, dew or frost are likely to occur, or hot days,
direct sunlight or hot surfaces. Provide adequate ventilation
during application and drying. Reaches maximum durability after
8-14 days.
