Determining your product requirement:
- Measure the area to which the paint is to be
- Depending on the surface to which the product is to be applied, determine which products are needed. (Refer to Product Specifier Tool)
- Check the Theoretical Spread Rates (TSR) on each of the specified products and see how many coats of each are recommended, then calculate what quantities of each product you will require, remembering to make adjustments for the porosity of each surface. TSRs are based on products applied to smooth, sealed surfaces. (E.g. an unsealed brick will absorb more paint than a sealed smooth one, so allow for a lower spread rate on porous surfaces).
SEALING FACE BRICK WITHOUT CHANGING APPEARANCE
Surface Preparation
- Clean the brick and allow it to dry.
- Repair all missing or cracked points with sand and cement. (i.e. the cement between the bricks). Allow to
Application Method
- Surface flooding, preferably not under pressure (Low pressure), is the best technique for applying
KlinkaSeal. KlinkaSeal can also be applied by roller or brush.
- Apply several coats, wet on wet (don’t allow any drying time between coats), until the substrate is saturated. Under normal conditions, 2 coats will.
