COVER STORY
PP high performance Neuklad 20l
After application of the primer and after you have allowed the primer to dry for 16 hours , you can apply two perpendicular coats of Prominent Fibre Seal on all the horizontal tops , like parapet walls and windowsills , allowing 24 hours drying time between coats to prevent moisture ingress . Once this has been done and the waterproofing is dry , you can proceed with two coats of Prominent High Performance Neuklad for the final finish .
Like the general wear and tear that we experience whilst driving a car , paint film will also experience a process known as corrosion . This is mainly caused by ultraviolet rays , rainfall , sand blasting and general temperature changes . These factors are known as macro and microclimates . Due to the unique formulation of the Prominent High Performance Neuklad system , it can withstand these factors and the coating will not be severely affected by corrosion in the short term . The general maintenance period of buildings painted with this system will also be prolonged by many years .
The quality of this system does not mean , however , that no maintenance should take place once a problem does occur . If a building experiences crack formation or if a moisture related problem occurs , it should be remedied as soon as possible to prevent further damage . It remains important to do periodic checking and maintenance of any painted structure or building to ensure longevity of a paint system . If problems are spotted early , they can be addressed quickly . Preventative maintenance saves money and time , and ensures that your most valuable asset will remain just that – valuable ! very tempting to decide on a budget option . This would prove to be a very costly mistake . The primer is the foundation of the entire paint system . If the primer fails , all coatings painted afterwards will also fail – even if it was quality paint . When using budget PVA or primers , one risks factors such as alkali burn , poor adhesion and poor finish .
For all the reasons mentioned above , it is always a good idea to do proper research prior to any paint project . A Product Technical Data Sheet will provide you with all the necessary information on that specific coating including correct surface preparation , application method and technical data .
