Substrate Preparation

The substrate must be structurally sound, clean and free from dust, oil, grease, loose particles and other foreign materials that may reduce adhesion or affect the final appearance.

Remove weak or loosely adhering material. Fill cracks, holes and surface defects using a compatible repair or filling compound before applying the primer.

Priming

Apply one coat of a suitable WHITE SAND PRIMER SEALER before applying WHITE SAND PREMIUM EMULSION SILK. Allow the primer to dry completely before applying the decorative finishing coats.

Application Conditions

• The substrate temperature during application must not be below 10°C.
• The substrate moisture content must not exceed 8%.
• The relative humidity in the working area must not exceed 70%.
• The substrate pH must not exceed 9.
• Do not apply to wet or damp surfaces.
• Provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.
• Do not apply a subsequent coat until the preceding coat is fully dry.

Mixing and Dilution

Stir WHITE SAND PREMIUM EMULSION SILK carefully before application until a uniform consistency and color are obtained.

If necessary, add a suitable quantity of clean tap water to obtain the required application viscosity. Avoid excessive dilution, as it may affect hiding power, film thickness and final appearance.

Application

1. Ensure that the substrate is correctly prepared, primed and completely dry.
2. Stir the product thoroughly before use.
3. Add clean water only when viscosity adjustment is required.
4. Apply uniformly using a suitable roller, brush or spray equipment.
5. Maintain a dry-film thickness of approximately 50 microns per coat.
6. Apply consistently to obtain a uniform silk appearance.
7. Allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next coat.
8. Protect the applied surface from moisture, dust and contamination until dry.

Yield and Coverage

The theoretical coverage of WHITE SAND PREMIUM EMULSION SILK is approximately 15 m² per kilogram at a dry-film thickness of 50 microns.

Under practical site conditions, coverage may be approximately 12 m² per kilogram. Actual consumption depends on substrate condition, porosity, application method, film thickness and material wastage.

Cleaning

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened material must be removed mechanically.

Storage and Shelf Life

WHITE SAND PREMIUM EMULSION SILK has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in its unopened and undamaged original packaging in a dry and shaded location, protected from direct sunlight, at an ambient temperature below 35°C.

Packaging

• 4 kg plastic pails.
• 20 kg plastic pails.
