Description

NOVAFINA COVER acrylic spatula putty for external use is suitable for:

  • cement based walls and ceilings before applying the paint
  • filling bad structured concretes and plasters
  • cement boards and concrete walls
  • gypsum boards after priming with NOVADUR W or NOVAPRIMER (1:1 to 1:3 dilution)
  • No cracks, no shrinking even at high film thickness
  • For an application thickness of 1 – 10 mm
  • Suitable for airless spray systems
  • Form: powder
  • POT life: > 4 hours
  • Application temperature: from +5°C up to +35°C

Substrate preparation:

Cement based substrates must be compact, without cracks, free of dust, salts, grease and any other materials that could reduce adhesion of NOVAFINA COVER to them. If the application is made on very absorbent substrates and / or at high temperatures, it recommended a good substrate wetting, avoiding the presence of standing water. Where substrates of reduced strength proceed priming with NOVAPRIMER. For more information, please refer to the corresponding Product Data Sheets.

Preparation of the mix:

Mix the NOVAFINA COVER bag (25 kg) with 8.0 – 9.0 liters of clean water with a low-speed electric mixer for at least 3 - 5 minutes. Mixing should take place until the mixture is completely uniform and free of lumps. The product is ready for use. The mixture has approximately 4-5 hours of pot life.

Application:

The mix is applied with a spatula or airless spray systems in one or more layers at a total thickness not exceeding 10 mm. The waiting time between layers must be 3 - 4 hours depending on the temperature and the humidity of the environment.

Recommendations:

  • Do not apply when substrate and ambient temperatures are below +5°C and higher than +35°C
  • Do not apply upon metal or wood or surfaces such as polyurethane, acrylic, paints and substrates subjected to big movements
  • Do not apply upon PVC membranes, bituminous membranes and other materials that polymerize in the long run
  • Do not apply upon loose substrates or substrates with insufficient cure
  • Do not apply upon non-absorbent substrates without proper preparation
  • Do not cover existing expansion joints of the substrate
  • Do not apply during direct sunlight and/or strong wind presence
  • Do not exceed the recommended quantity of the mixing water
  • Protect from rain or frost the first 24 hours
  • Do not add cement, gypsum, lime or other additives that might affect the properties of the mortar
  • Application to be performed by professional users

Cleaning:

Buckets, tools, coatings etc. can be cleaned with water as long as the mix is still fresh. Once dried cleaning can be done only by mechanical means.
