FIELDS OF APPLICATION

EcoForte Consolidator is an excellent interior/exterior high penetration consolidator and isolating primer, increasing adhesion as well as providing uniform absorption on porous surfaces such as virgin stucco and drywall. It is designed to penetrate deeply into porous surfaces creating a uniform absorbent surface that is ideal for applications of mineral paints and plasters. Uneven porous surfaces can cause premature drying of the mineral paints and plasters in some areas thus resulting in discoloration and sheen. EcoForte Consolidator works as a fixative or bonding agent because it equalizes absorption allowing binder content naturally found in mineral paints and plasters to remain consistent in concentration during curing. As an isolator EcoForte Consolidator can help prevent reactions from calcium hydroxide and salt nitrates present in portland cement, as well as reducing efflorescence effects that can occur on finished exterior stucco finishes. Product can be applied to any type of porous material such as concrete block, reinforced concrete, portland stucco, MGO board, drywall, chalky paints, all types of plasters, and lime paints. EcoForte Consolidator is a required primer/sealer before application of any type of potassium silicate paint or slaked lime paint and plaster on virgin portland cement masonry surfaces.

PRODUCT FEATURES

EcoForte Consolidator is a weather resistant, permeable/ breathable, sealer required for all virgin portland cement masonry surfaces as well as virgin drywall/ gypsum board that have never been painted. Product is also ideal for deteriorated or low-fired brick, portland cement block, poured cement walls, or any chalking surfaces. It provides excellent anchoring power for smooth and rough surfaces. Product has a medium pH and serves as a barrier to prohibit degradation of primer paints such as BioGrip Primer Micro or Medium, and slaked lime products when applied to portland concrete surfaces EcoForte Consolidator is based on a zero odor, micro particle emulsion water based formula, permitting deep penetration into porous surfaces. EcoForte Consolidator is an Eco-sustainable product as described in the Eco Category description.

APPLICATION CYCLE INSTRUCTIONS BRUSH, ROLLER & SPRAYER

APPLICATIONS

1ST COAT: Dilute EcoForte Consolidator with 100% water, or 10 liters of water per one (1) 10 liter bucket.

INTERIOR DRYWALL: Apply one (1) coat of EcoForte Consolidator to properly prepared and reasonably dust free surface, applying a uniform coverage on all surfaces. SEE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS BELOW FOR APPLICATION CYCLES.

NEW CEMENT STUCCO: Apply one (1) coat of EcoForte Consolidator to properly cured cement base, applying a uniform coverage on all surfaces. SEE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS BELOW FOR APPLICATION CYCLES.

CHALKY SURFACES: Pressure wash all chalky surfaces thoroughly, and allow surface to be completely dry before applying EcoForte Consolidator. Apply one (1) coat of EcoForte Consolidator carefully applying an even and uniform application. SEE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS BELOW FOR APPLICATION CYCLES.

COASTAL AREAS: For new or old surface areas with exposed risk to salt penetration such as coastal areas, it is required to neutralize the salt content in the surface finish. It is recommended to apply white vinegar or diluted muriatic acid immediately after an initial pressure washing (while wall surface areas are still damp), allowing the acid or vinegar to penetrate for at least 3 – 5 minutes, then thoroughly re-wash all treated areas with clean water. Allow surfaces to completely dry. Apply EcoForte Consolidator directly onto dried surface with a brush, roller or sprayer, carefully covering all surfaces. Allow to dry for at least 8 – 12 hours before applying BioGrip Primer Micro or Medium.

2ND COAT: For virgin drywall where tape joints or screw holes have been patched with drywall plaster or mud, apply a second coat on these surfaces, wet on damp, or within two (2) hours of first application of EcoForte Consolidator on all non-paper surfaces. A second coat is not required on most surfaces unless an unsatisfactory 1st coat application was not performed correctly. Spot paint as necessary to cover any missed sections. Allow to dry for at least 8 – 12 hours before applying BioGrip

CAUTION: Avoid excessive coverage and waste of product by over priming or under diluting EcoForte Consolidator. Product should not create a sheen on surfaces when dried. This product is extremely effective as long as a solid and even coverage has been applied. Do not continue to over saturate surfaces with excessive quantities of product.

SPRAY TIP USAGE: BioCalce A may be applied using an airless sprayer. Apply paint product with a # 0.019 – 0.021 mm size spray tip. 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.

GRAIN SIZE: 0.0 mm

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 offer more coverage in an economical package that decreases your cost for transport and carbon footprint, helping the your pocket book and the environment. Mix consolidator and water with an electric drill and paint paddle, or mix well by hand!

TOOLS

Apply with brush, roller or with the appropriate sprayer and sprayer tip. New sprayer tips should be used to prevent product waste and provided for a more even finish.

DRYING TIME

Allow a drying time of 8 – 12 hours before proceeding with BioGrip Primer Micro or Medium, BioCalce Classico or BioCalce A, BioDomus I & II, TerraMare Grip, TerraMare I or TerraMare Quarzit. With lower temperature and humidity, more time may be needed. Do not apply EcoForte Consolidator on the exterior if there is a risk of thunderstorms or showers during the 8 hour drying time needed for product to dry correctly.

CONSUMPTION/COVERAGE

Approximately 1,000 ft2 / 93 mt2 to 2,000 ft2 / 186 mt2 per 10 liter bucket. Determine exact consumption by performing a test on the surface to be treated.

PACKAGING

Plastic buckets of 1 and 10 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.

New Cement Stuccos

New portland cement stucco should not be painted for about 21 – 28 days to ensure proper curing, anchoring and drying. Apply 1 coat of EcoForte Consolidator and allow to dry for at least 8 – 12 hours. Apply 1 coat of BioGrip Primer according to instructions, and then apply 1 – 2 coats of subsequent finish products as directed. If using a NHL 3.5 or 5.0 cement this application process is not required These types of natural cements permit mineral paints and plasters to be applied to them without the use of consolidators or primers.

CAUTION! New portland cement stuccos should be tested for pH using Phenolphthalein, also sold as an “alkalinity test kit”. This product should be spot tested on all new portland cement stucco prior to the application of any type of finish, paint or stucco product. Concrete has a naturally high pH due to the calcium hydroxide formed when portland cement reacts with water. As the concrete reacts with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, pH decreases to 8.5 – 10.5. When a 1% phenolphthalein solution is applied to uncured concrete, it turns bright pink/purple; if it remains colorless, it shows that the concrete has undergone correct carbonation. When the test indicates bright pink or purple, this indicates that no paint or plaster product of any type should be applied to the concrete until carbonization has been completed, which usually occurs after 21 – 28 days after final installation.

New drywall/gypsum board

Stucco or plaster applications

GREY BOARD: For virgin drywall where tape joints or screw holes that have been patched with drywall plaster or mud, apply one (1) coat of EcoForte Consolidator as a 1st coat on all surfaces. Apply a 2nd coat wet on damp, or within two (2) hours of first application of EcoForte Consolidator on all non-paper surfaces. A second coat is not required on paper surfaces unless an unsatisfactory 1st coat application was not performed correctly. Spot paint as necessary to cover any missed sections. Allow to dry for at least 8 – 12 hours before applying BioGrip Primer Micro or Medium.

BLUE BOARD/GREEN BOARD: Due to the manufacturing processes for these types of drywalls, EcoForte Consolidator is not effective when applied to the paper surfaces of these types of building materials. To properly consolidate these types of surfaces, apply BioDomus Superflat as a consolidating primer on all surfaces with one (1) coat, applied according to instructions. Allow to dry for eight (8) hours and then apply one (1) coat of BioGrip Primer Micro or Medium.

CHALKY PAINTED WALLS

Chalky paint, lose paint, dirty and/or contaminated surfaces should be pressure washed and cleaned prior to commencing painting. All lose, peeling, or chalky paint or surfaces with attached algae or mold, should be removed manually or by mechanical means, i.e., with a high-pressure washer. Then apply 1 coat of EcoDis Detergent on the dried surface and allow to dry for at least 12 hours where algae or mold has been present. Apply 1 coat of EcoForte Consolidator prior to application of any type of primer, BioGrip Primer or TerraMare Grip Primer. If an acrylic paint surface has a flat sheen and pressure washing has removed the defective surface materials, EcoForte Consolidator can be applied to a dry, clean, prepared surface. Follow with a BioGrip Primer Micro or Medium application. For silossanic paint applications, it is recommended to apply TerraMare Grip prior to application of TerraMare I or TerraMare Quarzit for best results, but BioGrip Primer can be used effectively as a primer coat.

Synthetic Stucco

Not applicable for this type of surface finish.

OLD ACRYLIC, MINERAL PAINTS OR LIME WASH

Old painted surfaces should be cleaned well and verify that they are well anchored. Pressure wash all chalky surfaces thoroughly, and allow surface to be completely dry before applying EcoForte Consolidator. Apply 1 coat of EcoForte Consolidator (diluted 100% with water, or 1:1). Existing painted surfaces that are no longer well anchored should be removed by scraping. For deteriorated lime paints, apply white vinegar or diluted muriatic acid immediately after an initial pressure washing (while wall surface areas are still damp), allowing the acid or vinegar to penetrate for at least 3 minutes, then thoroughly re-wash all treated areas with clean water. Allow surfaces to completely dry. Apply EcoForte Consolidator (diluted 100% with water, or 1:1). Allow to dry for at least 8 – 12 hours before applying BioGrip Primer Micro or Medium.

BRICK SURFACES

Extremely weathered ‘spalled’ brick, deteriorating brick, deteriorating brick mortar, will usually indicate the presence of water absorption into a mortar joints or brick surfaces that become damaged during freeze/thaw conditions in fall and spring. Low-fire brick usually will chalk when rubbing your finger across the surface, easily chips, is fragile and is overly porous. Both of these conditions require special attention to substrate repairs prior to any type of painting or stucco application. Such substrates will need to be consolidated using Pure Potassium Silicate diluted according to instructions to stabilize and reinforce the molecular composition of the substrate. In very severe conditions, replacement of damaged brick and the necessity of brick joint tucking will be required in addition to substrate consolidation. Only once the substrate has been remedied can EcoDomus Consolidator be applied to the brick surface to enhance the performance and adhesion of a primer coat such as BioGrip Primer Micro or Medium. In worse case scenarios to prevent further water absorption into brick surfaces after repairs will require the application of a hydro-repellent sealer and paint such as TerraMare Sealer, Grip, and TerraMare I. In this case a potassium silicate base paint (Domus Line products) would not be used as the final finish, but rather a rubber silicone base paint product (TerraMare Line products).

In most cases, healthy brick does not require the need for EcoForte Consolidator unless the property is located in a coastal salt environment. In such cases it is highly recommended to follow instructions as indicated in COASTAL AREAS (listed above), i.e., wash surfaces with a pressure washer thoroughly all brick surfaces, then apply white vinegar or diluted muriatic acid for 3 – 5 minutes, then wash off carefully with clean water all treated surfaces. Allow to thoroughly dry before proceeding with subsequent product applications.

For normal brick conditions BioDomus I or II can be applied directly to brick surfaces with two (2) coats. For brick that has slick or sheened surfaces, or very high density extruded bricks (low water absorption), it will be required to apply BioGrip Micro prior to the application of BioDomus I or II.

REINFORCED CONCRETE SURFACES

New cement surfaces should not be painted for about 28 days to ensure proper curing and drying. Follow instructions as indicated above for new cement stuccos. In many cases it may be recommended to apply TerraMare Line products for ‘best use’ application of paint on reinforced concrete surfaces.

DECAYING OR CRUMBLING STUCCOS OR POWDERY SURFACES

Chalking surfaces, which could prevent the proper anchoring of the base coating must have damaged and chalky portions be removed by pressure washing and scraping. Apply Potassium Silicate Concentrate, diluted 100% with water (1:1) on all damaged surfaces, applying 2 – 3 coats in rapid succession, wet on wet, until substrate has arrived at full absorption, and allow to dry for at least 12 hours. Apply 1 coat EcoForte Consolidator, allow to dry for at least 8 – 12 hours. Apply one (1) coat of BioGrip Medium according to instructions, and then two (2) coats of subsequent finish products of mineral paint, stucco, or plaster. For severe cases of deterioration, follow guidelines as indicated in BRICK SURFACES, taking into consideration the repair and replacement of damaged stucco in its entirety. Cement stuccos existing prior to 1940 are probably made of NHL 3.5 or 5.0 (Natural Hydrated Lime Cement) and careful inspection and attention needs to be taken to ensure proper replacement and repairs. At all costs, avoid using portland based cements for restoration or repairs on NHL cements.

Surfaces with Efflorescence

Cement surfaces showing efflorescence should be aggressively cleaned with a high pressure washer, and then the efflorescence should be treated using a diluted muriatic acid, 1 part muriatic acid and 6 – 7 parts water, and allow to react for 3 – 5 minutes. Thoroughly rinse treated areas with water. Apply Potassium Silicate Concentrate, diluted 100% with water (1:1) on all damaged surfaces and allow todry for at least 12 hours. Apply 1 coat EcoForte Consolidator (diluted according to instructions), and allow to dry for at least 8 – 12 hours. For best use apply BioDomus Grip Micro or Medium, diluted with water 30%, and allow to dry for at least 8 – 12 hours. Apply two (2) coats of subsequent finish products of mineral paint, stucco, or plaster finish coat materials as required for final finish.

For coatings on surfaces damaged by the saltpeter or efflorescence no guarantees can be provided.

AGED CEMENT STUCCOS

When new stucco repairs are performed on old cement stuccos, apply EcoForte Consolidator diluted 100% with water (1:1), to older surfaces prior to applying new cement stucco (see Stucco Repairs). Dirty and/or contaminated surfaces should be cleaned and any attached algae removed manually or by mechanical means, i.e., with a high-pressure washer prior, then all surfaces should be treated with EcoDis Detergent. Apply 1 coat EcoForte Consolidator and allow to dry for at least 8 – 12 hours. Facilitate all stucco repairs with the proper type of cement stucco and allow to properly cure. Cement stuccos existing prior to 1940 are probably made of NHL 3.5 or 5.0 (Natural Hydrated Lime Cement) and careful inspection and attention needs to be taken to ensure proper replacement and repairs. At all costs, avoid using portland based cements for restoration or repairs on NHL cements.

Apply 1 coat of EcoForte Consolidator on all new patches and allow to dry for 8 – 12 hours, then proceed with final selected finishes, applying according to instructions. For NHL cement bases no BioGrip Primer is required. For portland based cements it is recommended to apply BioGrip Primer Micro or Medium diluted with water 30%, and allow to dry for at least 8 – 12 hours prior to proceeding with final stucco finish such as BioCement GF 1.0, or other mineral plasters or paint.

STUCCO REPAIRS

To patch or repair damaged stucco for modern buildings, make sure that the proper type of mortar is used, and is consistent with the strength and structure of the existing stucco to be treated. The repairs should be well anchored and completely dry and if possible, cured. Then apply one (1 ) coat of EcoForte Consolidator diluted 100% with water (1:1), and allow to dry for 8 – 12 hours. Apply one (1) coat of BioGrip Micro or Medium, diluted with water 30%, and allow to dry for at least 8 – 12 hours. Apply 1 – 2 coats of BioCement GF 1.0, or other similar types of stucco finish products offered by ROMABIO for the final finish.
