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 glass fleeces may easily be coated with suitable paint materials and efficient renovations are possible, due to individual needs.
Material Properties
- Easy to renovate: Recoatable without any pre-treatment.
- Non-swelling, rot proof, dimensionally stable.
- Crack bridging.
- Eco-friendly dressing.
- Highly moisture resistant.
- Reaction to fire: Classification according to German standard DIN 4102: Either A2 "nicht brennbar" (non-combustible) or B1 "schwerentflammbar" (flame-retardant), depending on the applied coating.
VB type glass fleeces are pre-coated in white on both sides and normally require only one finishing coat, if matt/silk-matt, white or light colours are used.

Note
Capaver glass fleeces are composed of glass fibres with a diameter > 5 µm, particles of that size cannot enter the respiratory tract. Although the fibres are highly bonded in the fleece, 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. Sensitive persons should take corresponding precautions during work. Capaver glass fleeces do not release any glass fibres after being coated.Dynamic cracks in the substrate cannot be removed (durably bridged) with both types of Capaver glass fleeces.

(–) inapplicable / (○) of limited suitability / (+) suitable |
Substrates
Interior surfaces: Mineral plasters in mortar groups/classes PI (lime plaster), PII (lime-cement mortars), PIII (cement mortars), PIV (gypsum mortar and ready-mixed gypsum plaster), plasterboards/gypsum cardboards (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. 860. 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
Adhesive (Glue):
Roller Application:
- Apply CapaColl VK or GK evenly with a roller (18 mm piles), but only for 1 - 2 lengths, depending on the temperature on site.
- Note: Agglomeration of adhesive (glue) must be avoided to achieve a uniformly textured surface.
Spray Application:
- A minimum of 3 workmen on the job is required.
- CapaColl VK can directly be applied to the wall with suitable airless equipment.
- Dilute CapaColl GK with 20 % of tap (potable) water, depending on the conditions on site.
- Important: It is suggested to observe the recommended material consumption and to spread the adhesive (glue) evenly, avoiding a surplus of applied product.
- Advice: Detailed information concerning the spray application of CapaColl are given within our German manual #843604 Handbuch der Spritztechnologie.
Bedding/Bonding of Glass Fabrics and Fleeces:
- The reverse side of the roll is marked (if provided) and has to be bonded to the wall. Always place the fabrics running in one direction and not laterally reversed in order to avoid differences of appearance in texture/pattern.
- Glass fleeces should be bonded with butt joints (double seam cut is possible).
- Note: Provide for narrow butt joints, but the forming of bulges must be avoided to achieve a proper visual appearance.
- Press the bonded 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 external corners, the length must pass around it for min. 10 cm.
Forming outer corners is facilitated when using special plastic corner profiles, also enhancing the impact strength (e.g. customary profiles made by HoBus, DLW, Protector, etc.). Bonding is effected with suitable mounting adhesive, allowing to adjust the correct position. Height differences should be compensated with synthetic resin filling compound, such as Caparol-Akkordspachtel fine/medium or AkkordLeichtspachtel (do not use gypsum fillers). Plastic profiles and repairs must always be primed with Capadecor DecoGrund or Haftgrund.
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 primer before applying non-filling (thin film) finishing coats of e.g. latex paint.
For bright-toned, matt paint coatings on AkkordVlies G 130/190 VB: In most cases the intermediate coat is not necessary. This has to be checked by a test area..
Finishing Coat:
Selection of suitable product for finishing coat is depending on the degree of expected loads and desired gloss level. See table below.
Always apply wet-on-wet (this applies also for trimmings).

Drying/Drying Time
Allow bonded lengths of glass fleeces to dry thoroughly before any further coating.
Note
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, ascertain whether there are no weaving faults.
Claims based on material deficiency cannot be objected after the application of more than 10 lengths.
On principle the marked interior side of a roll has to be bonded to the wall. The outer side of the roll is the visible face. To avoid differences of appearance in texture/pattern, always place the fleeces running in one direction and not laterally inverted. In case of complaint the label with the batch and product numbers must be kept ready.
