BIO Silicate Primer - Interior/Exterior

Properties:
BIOFA Spezialgrund is a solvent-free mineral basecoat for inside based on silicate and is specially designed for equalising highly irregularly absorptive substrates. Filled and surfaced plaster board (Rigips, Fermacel, etc.) and heavily repaired plaster substrates which shall be treated in glazing techniques must be treated with this special primer because joints and surfaced patches may bleed through otherwise.

Ingredients:
Water, chalk, titanium dioxide, mineral powder made from chlorite, mica and quartz, pure acrylate, potassium silicate, organic ammonium compound, fatty acid polyether derivate, sodium phosphonates, polysaccharide starch and potassium methyl siliconate.

Instructions for use:

Pretreatment:
Substrates must be stable, in good condition and clean. Remove latex, oil and synthetic resin coatings entirely. Cover alkalisensitive surfaces! Repair hair cracks, shrinkage cracks and other plaster damage thoroughly with mineral filling compound. Highly absorptive or crumbling substrates must always be pretreated with BIOFA SOLIMIN Fixativ (Fixative) 3045. Surfaces from which the wallpaper has been removed must be slightly sanded (grit size 60-100). Remove dust thoroughly (first use a broom or vacuum cleaner, then wipe with a damp cloth) or clean thoroughly with a brush and hot water. Prime with SOLIMIN Fixativ (Fixative) 3045 after 24 hours of drying. Wallpaper paste residues may cause adhesion problems.


Important note:
When coating the different substrates with aqueous, open-pored coating systems, certain substances such as lignin, nicotine, rust, various salts and moisture, etc. may bleed through from the substrate or lead to discolouring or colour differences. This is why it is absolutely necessary to check the substrates for suitability and carry out preliminary tests (sample surfaces). Observe VOB (Contract Procedure for ConstructionWork)!


Application:
Mix SOLIMIN Spezialgrund thoroughly and apply by roller or brush. Only add 3-5% of water or fixative if necessary. The special primer can be tinted with silicate colour concentrates 1410-1419. Do not apply below 5°C and provide for good fresh air circulation.

VARIATION OF USES:

Cleaning of tools:
Clean with plenty of water and soap immediately after use. Remove dried stains with BIOFA NATOLE 4060.

Drying:
Recoatable after approx. 6 hours.

Consumption/spreading rate per coat:
200 ml/m² or 5 m²/l on normally absorptive and smooth substrates.

Storage:
Cool, dry, above freezing point and sealed airtight. Use up opened containers soon.

Minimum shelf life of unopened containers: 1 year.
Attention: Risk of thickening if stored too warm.

Container size:
4 L or 10 L

Safety instructions:
Keep out of the reach of children. Protect eyes and skin from paint splashes. After contact with eyes, skin or other alkali-sensitive substrates such as varnish, wood, metal, plastic, glass, natural stone, clinker, ceramics, etc., rinse with plenty of water immediately. When spraying, do not breathe spray mist. Do not empty into drains, aquatic environment or soil.

Disposal:
Dispose of liquid product residue at collection points for old paints/varnishes or dispose of according to locally applicable regulations. Small quantities of residue and soaked work materials can be disposed of along with domestic waste after drying. Only recycle cleaned or completely empty packaging with cured deposits or dispose of according to locally applicable legal regulations. Uncleanable packaging and packaging not emptied appropriately must be treated and disposed of like the product!
