APPLICATION CYCLE INSTRUCTIONS
BRUSH AND ROLLER APPLICATIONS
1ST COAT Dilute EcoSemiGloss Urethane typically with 10% water, 250 ml to one (1) 2.5-liters bucket, maximum 15% water, 375 ml to one (1) 2.5-liters bucket of EcoSemiGloss Urethane. For better coverage and sheen results it is advised to prime surfaces with a universal urethane primer or EcoPrimer Urethane for wood. It is not advised to use roller application except when necessary, as the roller nap may create an undesirable finish. An appropriate sprayer will use less material and create highly desirable finishes. Hand brush work will create a typical oil paint finish, that reflects visible brush strokes. Allow to dry for at least 4 – 8 hours before applying 2nd coat, if required. 1st coat must be dry before applying 2nd coat. Wash paint brushes immediately with soap and water after completion of use. Do not allow paint brushes to stand outside beyond 5 – 10 minutes. Rinse brushes immediately with water or stand in water during short painting breaks.
2ND COAT Dilute EcoSemiGloss Urethane same as above. A 2nd coat is not necessary usually when using a correctly tinted primer base. Apply paint in an even and constant pattern, so that a perfect coverage is achieved. For repaints with light colors on dark colors, at least 2 finish coats will be required. Metal surfaces that are pre-primed will not require a urethane primer, but will require 2 coats for adequate coverage. Handling time after painting varies according to ambient conditions, typical time is 2 – 4 hours for light touching. Allow EcoSemiGloss Urethane approximately 72 – 144 hours to achieve complete hardness.
PAINT SPRAYERS
1ST COAT Dilute EcoSemiGloss Urethane typically with 10% water, 250 ml to one (1) 2.5-liters bucket, maximum 15% water, 375ml to one (1) 2.5-liters bucket of EcoSemiGloss Urethane. Using a good quality sprayer is imperative. Best results can be achieved using either a compressor siphon feed spray guns, or a high quality airless sprayer for fine finishes, with high and low pressure options. A professional spray application will consume less material and create very desirable finishes and sheens.
2ND COAT Dilute EcoSemiGloss Urethane same as above. A 2nd coat is not necessary usually when using a correctly tinted primer base. If the paint has not been applied in an even and constant pattern to create a perfect coverage, a 2nd coat will be required. 1st coat must be dry before applying 2nd coat. For repaints with light colors on dark colors, at least 2 finish coats will be required. Metal surfaces that are pre-primed will not require a urethane primer, but will require 2 coats for adequate coverage. Handling time after painting varies according to ambient conditions, typical time is 2 – 4 hours for light touching. Allow approximately 72 – 144 hours for paint to achieve complete hardness.
Manufacturer recommends that a universal urethane primer or EcoPrimer Urethane is lightly and carefully sanded to create excellent finish results when spraying EcoSatin. Clean all surfaces to be painted carefully before application of final coat with a sprayer. Insure that the area to be painted is free of dust, prior to and after painting for several days.
SPRAY TIP USAGE Apply paint product with a # 0.011 – 0.013 mm size spray tip for airless sprayers, and for compressor spray guns check with manufacturer. Always use new spray tips for starting a paint job for best results. This will also conserve the amount of paint necessary to complete the job. Note* It is not advised to rest an airless spray gun without use for over 15 minutes without use, as water-based urethane paint may partially dry and clog in spray gun or pistol. If this occurs, flush out sprayer with denatured alcohol or lacquer thinner several times to remove clogged guns or tips, and then flush several times with water to remove solvent cleaning materials. For best spray results and finishes, it is recommended to use a Kremlin Rexson Pump with an Excite spray gun.
MIXING PAINT & WATER
Most of our paint formulas are concentrated and require water to be added to them for proper use. This process means we can sell more coverage in an economical package that decreases the cost for transport, reduces the carbon footprint, helping the your pocket book and the environment.
Mix paint and water with an electric drill and paint paddle, or mix well by hand! If water is sitting on the top of your mixture, the paint is not properly mixed!
Apply with brush, roller or with the an appropriate sprayer and sprayer tip. New sprayer tips should be used to prevent product waste and provide for a more perfect finish.
TOOLS
Apply with brush, roller or with the an appropriate sprayer.
DRYING TIME
Allow a drying time between coats of at least 4 – 8 hours. With lower temperature and humidity more time may be needed. If sanding is required between coats, drying time permitted may increase to 24 hours before light sanding depending on humidity and environmental conditions. Allow 72 – 144 hours to achieve complete hardness. Product requires 14 days for 100% full curing time.
CONSUMPTION/COVERAGE
Approximately 400 ft2 / 37 mt2 per 2.5 liters bucket diluted with 250 ml water (10%) when applied by brush. Approximately 530 ft2 / 49 mt2 per 2.5 liters bucket diluted with 250 ml (10%) water when applied with sprayer. Determine exact consumption by performing a test on the surface to be treated.
PACKAGING
Plastic buckets of 1 and 2.5 liters.
APPLICATION CYCLES ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF BASES
Make sure base is solid, dry and well cleaned, prepared with skill. It is recommended to observe the rule VOB DIN 18 363, Part C, paragraph 3. All exterior painted surfaces should be checked on a regular basis after 4 – 5 years to ensure that the paint product has remained intact, without damages, cracks, or fading, and if so repaints should be made immediately. After 7 – 8 years all exterior painted surfaces should be re-painted so as to maintain the quality of the original surface and not permit damage or decay to the urethane paint.
NEW SHEETROCK
Prime all new sheetrock with 2 coats BioDomus Matte, sanding lightly between coats, using a paint sprayer for application. Allow primer paint to dry for at least 8 hours. Apply 1 coat of EcoPrimer Urethane with a paint sprayer, and allow to dry for at least 4 hours, and then lightly sanding. Remove all dust from area to be painted. Lightly wipe wall surfaces with a damp cloth or tack cloth to remove all traces of dust. Apply EcoSemiGloss Urethane according to instructions.
PAINTED SHEETROCK
Lightly sand all surfaces prior to applying 1 coat of EcoPrimer Urethane with a paint sprayer, and allow to dry for at least 4 hours, and then lightly sand. Remove all dust from area to be painted. Lightly wipe wall surfaces with a damp cloth or tack cloth to remove all traces of dust. Apply EcoSemiGloss Urethane according to instructions.
UNPAINTED WOOD
Sand all wood surfaces as required to provide a smooth surface. Fill all nail and screw holes with non-oil type putty or wood filler. Apply 1 coat of EcoPrimer Urethane with a brush or a paint sprayer, and allow to dry for at least 4 hours. Apply water based caulk as needed to fill all voids and cracks. Paint all caulked areas as needed and allow to dry for at least 12 hours. Lightly sand all surfaces and remove all dust from area to be painted. Lightly wipe wood surfaces with a damp cloth or tack cloth to remove all traces of dust. Apply EcoSemiGloss Urethane according to instructions.
EcoSemiGloss Urethane can also be applied to any type of wood without using a primer. This component results in a type of architectural/decorative finish, in that it highlights the wood grains inherent in the woods, yet providing the same high quality engineering, with the same quality sheens as is created using a wood primer.
PAINTED WOOD
Sand all painted wood surfaces as required to provide a smooth surface. Fill all nail and screw holes with non oil type putty or wood filler. Apply water based caulk as needed to fill all voids and cracks. Paint all caulked areas as needed and allow to dry for at least 12 hours. Apply 1 coat of EcoPrimer Urethane with a brush or a paint sprayer, and allow to dry for at least 4 hours, then lightly sand. Remove all dust from area to be painted. Lightly wipe wood surfaces with a damp cloth or tack cloth to remove all traces of dust. Apply EcoSemiGloss Urethane according to instructions.
It is not a requirement to prime painted wood if the quality of the finish is acceptable to create a perfect finish. EcoSemiGloss Urethane will read any non desirable textures existing on the wood surfaces.
STEEL/IRON/GALVANIZED STEEL/ALUMINUM
Sand all metal surfaces to provide a rust free and smooth surface as is possible, previously painted or non-painted. For unprimed metal surfaces, apply 1 coat of EcoMetal Urethane and allow to dry for 12 hours. Apply EcoSemiGloss Urethane applying with a brush or sprayer as indicated in the instructions above. For exterior metal surfaces, it is advised to apply two (2) coats of EcoSemiGloss Urethane onto primed or painted surfaces. EcoSemiGloss Urethane can be painted onto solvent based metal primers, ensuring that such primer is completely dry before painting. On large flat areas it is advised to spray paint all surfaces. For small areas or detail work use a high quality finish paint brush to ensure a smooth a finish.
After 2 years, it is advised to inspect exterior painted metal surfaces, particularly previously painted surfaces that were painted with ‘other’ types of enamel paint. If rust has appeared, address damaged areas and remove rust as is possible and apply EcoMetal Urethane as directed, and then 1 coat of EcoSemiGloss Urethane as directed above.
For all metal surfaces, it is advised after 4 – 5 years to make careful inspection of interior and exterior painted surfaces and if EcoSemiGloss Urethane is beginning to fade, or show signs of distress, or wear, it is advised to prime all areas where the finish surface has been removed by chips, scratches, or damages, sanding those areas lightly to provide an even surface and apply 1 coat of EcoSemiGloss Urethane to re-protect surfaces and provide a new painted finish.
If after 7 – 8 years regardless of the lack of damages, stress, or fading, all exterior painted surfaces should be repainted so as to protect the original painted surface and ensure additional trouble free service of a high quality paint finish.
TILE
Clean all surfaces carefully, removing all soap films, mold, dirt, and apply 2 coats EcoSemiGloss Urethane directly onto the tile surface. It is advised to apply the paint with a good quality paint sprayer for best results. We do not advise to paint shower walls, enamel tubs or sinks where aggressive cleaning may damage the surface. This application should be used solely as an architectural covering for decorative purposes only.
