BIO Aqua Enamel Paint - Interior

DESCRIPTION : Bio Aqua Enamel Lacquer is a dirt and water-repellent, gloss or semi matt painted finish, containing no toxic solvents, resins or heavy metals. It is suitable for use on all wood types, steel, aluminium and copper.

PREPARATION : Prepare the surface in accordance Australian Standard 2311 Painting of Buildings. Do not apply coatings to unseasoned or wet timber. Surfaces and already painted surfaces in gloss or Semi gloss paint should be well sanded, dry and cleaned of greasy, waxy and dirty contaminants using BIO Thinner. Round off sharp edges. It is also good practice to prime back surfaces.  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 coatings may require complete stripping before applying BIO products. Timber moisture content must be under 15% for softwood, and under 12% for hardwood. Fill imperfections and cracks with a suitable filler.

APPLICATION: Stir thoroughly before use with a broad flat stirrer. Apply one coat of Undercoat and two coats of topcoat. Minimum dry film thickness is 100 microns. Maintain a wet edge when painting. Best results are achieved using thin coats. Thick coats will cause runs to appear.

VARIATION OF USES:

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 : Drying time on a day of around 25°C  is approx. 2-4 hours. During cold and humid weather allow longer drying time. Apply second and subsequent coats only after previous coat has thoroughly dried. 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 12°C 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. Avoid steam and condensation for 48 hours. Reaches maximum durability after 8-14 days
