Surface preparation

Concrete floors. New concrete surface should be dry and aged for at least 4 weeks. Clean new surfaces from dust, dirt, oil and other contaminants. If there is concrete milk on the surface, remove it mechanically. Cracks, chips and potholes should be close up with fillers for repairing concrete floors. Absorbent surfaces should be primed with TM Eskaro or TM Aura penetrating primer (for example, Aquastop Expert or Aura Aquagrund). Very smooth and glossy surfaces must be matted (roughen them mechanically). Previously painted concrete surfaces. To clear surfaces of dust, dirt, oil and other contaminants. Remove old loose coatings by mechanically. Absorbing surface areas should be primed with TM Eskaro or TM Aura penetrating primer (for example, Aquastop Expert or Aura Aquagrund). Strongly holding paints and varnishes must be matted (roughen them mechanically). Wooden floors. Clean new wooden surface from dust, dirt, oil, tar and other contaminants. Process knot locations with insulating varnish. Absorbent surfaces primed. For priming, you can use: a penetrating primer for wood (for example Biostop TM Eskaro), nitrocellulose filler-varnish (for example, Kapon varnish), or Forum enamel, which is diluted 15% with water. After the primer has dried, remove the pile from the surface with sandpaper (grain 120–180), which will rise after priming. Very smooth, glossy, dense surfaces need to be matted (roughen them mechanically). Previously painted wooden surfaces. To clear surfaces of dust, dirt, oil and other contaminants. Strongly holding paints and varnishes must be mated (roughen them mechanically). Remove old loose coatings by mechanically. Surface areas cleared of coating - to be primed. For priming use the same materials as for new surfaces.

Drawing

Work should be carried out at ambient air, enamel and surface temperatures from +10 °C to +25 °C, the recommended temperature is + 18 ± 2 °C. Humidity of the painted surface: concrete - not higher than 4%, wood - not higher than 18%. Mix enamel until homogeneous condition. Enamel does not dilute. To put in 2–3 layers with a roller, a brush. Apply the second (subsequent) layer 5 hours after the previously. The number of layers depends on the type, preparation, color of the surface. Enamel dries quickly, so the adjacent surface areas need to be painted without interruption, using the wet-on-wet technique. Board floors should be painted along the board. Do not apply enamel in direct sunlight in a draft. Using base TR: Enamel Forum (base TR - colorless) to apply only in toned form. Attention! The coating gets the final color after the enamel has dried.

Tools

A brush from synthetic pile, the varnish roller with a length of pile of 7–12 mm.

Cleaning tools

Immediately after work - with warm water and cleanser. When dried, mechanically or with organic solvents.

Precautionary measures

When working follow the general rules of occupational health. Work in a ventilated area, in work clothes, gloves. Keep out of the reach of children. In case of contact with eyes, wash with water.

Utilization

Remains of dried enamel should be disposed of as household garbage, plastic containers should be collected for recycling or utilization of as household garbage.
