Field of Application
Capaver glass fleeces provide for highly attractive, high-grade and individual wall surfaces, due to variations in texture, type, colour shade, gloss level and application technique of topcoats.
In accordance with the expected degree of stress or desired visual appearance, all fabrics may easily be coated with suitable paints and economic renovations are possible, due to individual needs.
Material Properties
- Water-activatable glue on the reverse side.
- Pre-coated in white.
- Easy to renovate: Recoatable without any pre-treatment.
- Rot proof, dimensionally stable.
- Covers small surface cracks (crack bridging).
Material Base / Vehicle
Capaver glass fleeces (glass fiber non-wovens) are made of high-quality, purely mineral glass yarns.

Surface weight / See table above (Weight per m2).Note
Capaver glass fleeces are composed of glass fibres (Amer. term: glass fibers) with a diameter > 5 µm, particles of that size cannot enter the respiratory tract. Although the fibres are highly bonded in the fabric, a limited amount of glass particles may be released when cutting the fibres/glass fleeces. This may cause itching of skin to people with a sensitive skin, during application, but will fade away after bonding. Advice: Use P2 dust filter/mask during work. Capaver glass fleeces do not release any glass fibres after being coated.
Glass fleeces of Aqua Active (AA) type are pre-coated in white and therefore usually require only one finishing coat, when matt/silk-matt paints are applied and white or pastel shades are used. Nevertheless, a previously applied trial coating is advisable.
Dynamic cracks in the substrate cannot be durably bridged (removed) with Capaver AkkordVlies
G130/190 AA.

Substrates
Interior surfaces: Mineral plasters in mortar groups/classes PI (lime plaster), PII (lime-cement mortars) and PIII (cement mortars), PIV (gypsum mortar and ready-mixed gypsum plasters), gypsum cardboards/pasterboards/drywalls, gypsum wallboards, concrete.Surfaces with colour contrast: One previously applied priming coat of Capadecor DecoGrund or Haftgrund.
Substrate Preparation
The substrate must always be solid, dry, sound/stable, clean, even and free from all substances that may prevent good adhesion. Follow Technical Information No. 650. In Germany: Follow VOB, part C, DIN 18366, section 3. Lower temperature limit for application and drying: +5 °C (product, substrate and ambient air).Method of Application
For bonding Aqua Active glass fleece no adhesive (glue) has to be roller or spray applied to the substrate! Application is effected in a water bath tray/unit or in a suitable wallpaper pasting machine with conversion kit:
- In a first step fill the pasting machine with tap (potable) water.
- Then inlay the roll in conformity with technical manual and reset the counter (if available).
- After that draw the fabric through the unit in 2/3-1/3 method per length and fold it or directly bond to the wall.
- The adhesive (glue) is quickly self-activating and has reached the optimum adhesive power after approx. 1 minute.
- For application on ceilings a longer dwell time of 2 - 3 minutes is advisable.
- Note: Longer dwell times may lead to a difficult opening of lengths.
- Wall coverings with a dwell time of >5 minutes must not be bonded.
- Important: As long as the adhesive (glue) has no contact to the wall surface, the glue can be (even after drying) repeatedly reactivated with tap water.
Bedding/Bonding of Glass Fabrics and Fleeces
- The reverse side of the roll is normally marked and has to be bonded to the wall. To avoid differences of appearance in texture/pattern, always place the fabrics running in one direction and not laterally reversed (upside-down).
- Capaver glass fleeces like AkkordVlies G130 and 190 should be bonded with butt joints, whereby double seam cut is possible for all glass fleeces.
- Provide for narrow butt joints, but the forming of bulges must be avoided to achieve a proper visual appearance.
- Press the bonded fleece lengths void-free with sufficient pressure to the full surface using wallpaper scraper or pressure roller. Fix the edges and cut of the excess length with a wallpaper scraper.
- Hint: For bonding glass fleeces on vertical external corners, the length must pass around it for minimum 10 cm. For non-vertical corners, the fleece must be cut at the corner.
Surface Coating System
Intermediate Coat:The intermediate coat forms the basis to achieve a perfect finishing coat. The intermediate coat can only be applied when adhesive (glue) and fleeces are completely dry, and should be tinted to match the finishing coat in shade. Capaver Gewebegrundierung should be used as a filling intermediate coat before applying non-filling (thin film) finishing coats of e.g. latex paints.
AkkordVlies G 130/190 AA: In most cases an intermediate coat can be omitted for dull(dead)-matt painting in light (pastel) colour shades. This has to be checked by a trial coating.
Finishing Coats:
Selection of suitable products for finishing coats is depending on the degree of expected loads and desired gloss level. Coatings must be applied wet-on-wet (also effective for trimming areas).

Drying/Drying Time
Allow bonded lengths of glass fleeces to dry thoroughly before any further coating.Note
On principle the marked interior side of a roll has to be bonded to the wall. The outer side of the roll isthe visible face. To avoid differences of appearance in texture/pattern, always place the fleeces running
in one direction and not laterally inverted.
Capaver wall coverings are thoroughly inspected by the manufacturer. In exceptional cases isolated production related weaving faults may occur. These faults are marked at the trimmed edges and correspondingly compensated. They do not entitle to any objection. While cutting the fleeces (lengths), ascertain whether there are no weaving faults. In case of complaint the label with the batch and product numbers must be kept ready. Claims based on material faults cannot be objected after the application of more than 10 lengths.
