Marble ALK
Description
Slow drying oil based decorative material.
Recommended Uses
Used for decoration of previously coated interior walls. Provides different patterns by using different tools such as brush strokes, short-haired roller, rag, sponge, paper or plastic bags.
Features
• Very slow drying which allows enough time to produce the desired decoration.
• Excellent adhesion on almost all kinds of coatings.
• Wide range of colors and patterns can be obtained.
• Very Good wash resistance.
Application Instruction
• Method of Application : Brush, special and stamped roller, sponge, rag, paper or plastic bag.
• Mixing : Stir well before application in order to ensure that a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Thinner / Cleaner : S101 is used for cleaning. Do not thin.
• Curing : • When recoating a special attention should be given toward drying times. • Temperature of substrate should be at least 3°C above dew point to avoid moisture condensation during application.
• Note : To obtain the required decoration or pattern, the decorative material “Marble ALK” should be applied by a skilled paint worker.
Technical Information
• Color : Against order using tinting machine.
• Flexibility : Very good
• Recommended film thickness : 15-25 microns “dry”
• Water resistance : Good
• Abrasian Resistance : Very good
• Number of Coats : Depends on the decorative pattern
• Packaging : 0.9 L in metal can (After tinting)
Surface Preparation
Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust and other contaminants prior to coating.
It is recommended to apply Marble ALK on previously painted surfaces with a matt or semi-gloss paint such as DecoOil SG, DecoOil M “Alkyd paints” or DecoCoat G / DecoCoat M “Water emulsion acrylic paints” (Refer to technical data sheets). Previously painted surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of any loose material.
Note:
Required patterns should be worked before Marble ALK starts to dry and becomes tacky.
Drying Time
• Dry to Touch : 10 hours (ASTM-D1640).
• Dry to Handle : 24 hours “minimum recoat time” (ASTM-D1640).
• Note : Drying times can be affected by many factors such as temperature, ventilation and coat thickness. Higher temperatures will shorten the drying times.
Storing Conditions
• Marble ALK has to be kept in a cool and well-ventilated place, protected from heat and direct sunlight. Marble ALK is classified under highly flammable materials.
• Shelf life is 2 years from packing date in unopened original containers at 5 to 40°C. Containers should be kept tightly closed.
Safety
• Do not breathe or inhale mist.
• Wear air-mask and avoid skin or eye contact.
