Exterior Paint

• Product is unique - High Build Film Coating (DFT-100-150 microns)
• Good UV Resistance properties.
• Good adhesion with Anti  Carbonation, Anti - fungal and Anti - algae properties.
• Good Elongation with crack bridging properties. (1-1.5mm)
• Elastic and able to accommodate substrate and crack movements.
• Waterproofing with chemistry of balance elongation and tensile strength.
• Highly Durable coating staying colour fast season after season.

Surface preparation

• Newly plastered wall must be allowed to cure for minimum 3 months before painting.
• The surface must be free from dirt, dust and grease
• Remove all loose flaked coatings/particles or powder residue by thorough brushing and scrapping followed by water jetting, if required.
• Ensure removal of fungus and algae growth with suitable biocide treatment.
• Ensure that walls are completely dry before painting.
• Ensure that all water leakages and seepages are stopped completely before painting.
• Undulation to be rectified. Holes, dents and cracks are to be filled with exterior putty or sand mortar that is a mixture of White Cement & fine sand in the ratio of 1:3.

Priming

A base coat of Surfa Acrylic Exterior Cement Primer (WB) is mandatory to prevent failure of a paint film.

Application

• On well cured, dried and cleaned plastered walls, apply one coat of Surfa Acrylic Exterior Cement Primer (Water Based) diluting 1 litre of primer with 500ml of clean potable water and allow drying for 5-6 hrs.
• Apply two coats of Surfex Rain Shield-diluting 1 litre of paint with 400ml of clean potable water. Allow a minimum interval of 5-6 hrs between coats. On horizontal surfaces like tops of parapets and awnings, it is necessary to apply 3 coats.
• Deep shades like Sunrise, Ming Red, Flamingo, Dark Micado, Terracotta, etc. require additional coats.

Precautions

• Surfex Rain Shield is not suitable for painting on damp surfaces or where there is a continuous seepage of water.
• Do not apply the paint at temperatures below 10ºC or above 40ºC.
• Use only exterior putty and an exterior primer on exterior walls.
• The paint should not be applied on surfaces/substrates which are subjected to continuous seepages or dampness.
• Application of Exterior Wall Primer is compulsory for all surfaces. Not doing so, can lead to failure of the paint film.
• Do not dilute the paint. Over dilution of SURFEX Rain Shield may result in shade variation, poor hiding, poor bonding and flaking.

Safety Information

• To remove splashed paint fallen on glass, ceramic, clinkers, natural stone, metal/wood surfaces, rinse with plenty of water immediately without allowing the paint to dry.

Directions for use

• Prepare wall surface by scraping off flaked coatings and ensure removal of fungus and algae growth with suitable biocide treatment.
• The surface must be free from loose particles, dirt, dust, grease and moisture.
• Take maximum precautions where the water tends to accumulate, i.e., places like parapet,sunshade, etc.
• The exterior surface should be free from seepage and constant dampness. During the rainyreason allow 2-3 days of sunshine for surface to dry before starting painting.
• Newly plastered walls must be allowed to cure for 6 months before painting.
