Substrate preparation:
The surface to which PLANOFINISH PU 2KS is to be applied should be clean, dry and free from dust. The substrate must be insulated and not subject to rising moisture. The maximum permissible moisture content of the substrate must not exceed 4%. The application surface temperature should be between + 12°C and + 30°C, otherwise, the varnish will not dry properly, might “break” and discoloration may occur.
Preparation of the mix:
Components A and B are in containers with a predetermined mixing ratio. Component B is completely added to component A. Mixing of the two components is done for about 2 - 3 minutes with an electric mixer at low speed.
Application of the mix:
Apply the mix in 2 at least continuous layers by means of a suitable varnish roller. The number of layers is determined by the type of application. In any case, ensure that the varnish penetrates well in the surface. The waiting time between layers is 24 hours when the temperature is less than + 23°C and 12 hours when the temperature is higher than +30°C.
When applied to swimming pools upon PLANOCOLOR PREMIUM SP micro-cement we apply 3 layers of PLANOFINISH PU 2KS. At the swimming pool emphasis should be given to the corners at the base of the pool where the material should be applied by paintbrush in order to seal them properly.
In micro-cement coatings such as PLANOCOLOR PREMIUM 2K when the application is outdoors, apply a first layer of DRY BRIGHT diluted 1:1 in water and then 2 PLANOFINISH PU 2KS layers. In this way we avoid color alterations in the final surface, since this risk is significantly reduced by the use of DRY BRIGHT. In any case, however, if there are any doubts, it is recommended to perform a trial application. PLANOFINISH PU 2KS can also be applied to increase the surface strength of epoxy coatings such as PLANOCOLOR LIQUID GLASS. In these cases, the product is applied in one layer without interruption. The aesthetic effect is a glossy surface with increased resistance to wear.
Maintenance:
Daily cleaning of surfaces treated with PLANOFINISH PU 2KS is done with neutral cleaners such as NEUTROCLEANER undiluted or diluted in water depending on the application. For special cleaning cases such as black rubber stains, household stains, wax etc. it is recommended to use ALCALINE CLEANER. In cases of salts use HARD REMOVER. For additional information, refer to the relative Technical Data Sheets of the products.
Recommendations:
- Do not apply in surfaces that are not dry
- Do not apply the varnish on surfaces where rising humidity is possible or present
- Do not apply when the temperature is lower than +12°C and the relative humidity of the atmosphere exceeds 65%, or when there is a possibility of rain and wet weather, before the varnish is completely dry
- Do not apply PLANOFINISH PU 2KS upon fresh concrete if at least 4 weeks haven’t passed and without holding humidity measurements
- Two components of PLANOFINISH PU 2KS are in proportion so never mix partially the two components. In some cases, if necessary, diluting can only be done with a compatible solvent such as NOVATHINNER PU
- Do not apply PLANOFINISH PU 2KS upon old varnishes and dusty or dirty surfaces. Remove dust and dirt immediately before application. In any case, the surface should be well wiped off and, if necessary, be sanded before application
- Always use appropriate and clean tools
- When applying in swimming pools chemical over-consumption should not occur. This applies both to the operation period and to the cleaning of the pool when it is empty
- In swimming pools or areas with humidity if the protective layer of PLANOFINISH PU 2KS isn’t continuous, moisture may penetrate underneath and then the surface will become discolored and we may also have detachments
- Do not apply PLANOFINISH PU 2KS in excess quantity, in such a case it cannot be polymerized properly and doesn’t set properly
- All measurements and waiting time refer to surface temperature of +23°C and residual humidity of 50%. Variations on the above may after waiting times or application process
- For daily maintenance or cleaning of surfaces treated with PLANOFINISH PU 2KS, use suitable professional cleaners such as ALCALINE CLEANER, NEUTROCLEANER or HARD REMOVER. Avoid using highly acidic products and, in cases of doubt, always test before application
- PLANOFINISH PU 2KS is a solvent-based varnish recommended mainly for external area applications. In any case however any precautions required of the use of solvent-based materials should be applied
Cleaning:
Buckets, tools, coatings etc. can be cleaned with solvent if the mix is still fresh. Once dried cleaning can be done only by mechanical means or strong corrosives.
