Tiefgrund TB

Suitable Substrates

The substrates must be dry, clean, and free from all substances that may prevent good adhesion. 
In Germany: Follow VOB, part C, DIN 18363, section 3.

Substrate Preparation

Please follow our Technical Information No. 650 ("Substrate and their Preparation") for suitability of the product on various substrates and their required pre-treatment.

Thinning

Only to be thinned/diluted with white spirit, if necessary.

Surface Coating System

Application:
In normal case: Apply one coat of unthinned product on normally absorbent substrates. 
On friable, porous render/plaster surfaces: Apply two priming coats, wet-on-wet.
Thin up to a max. of 20 % with white spirit for priming substrates of low absorbency. 
The primer must not form a closed, shiny film.

Consumption

Approx. 150 - 300 ml/m² depending on substrate absorbency and thinning ratio/degree of dilution. Determine the exact amount of material required by coating a test area on site.

Application Conditions

Lower Temperature Limit for Application and Drying:
Tiefgrund TB is applicable even in frosty conditions, providing that the substrate is dry and ice free.

Drying/Drying Time

At +20 °C and 65 % relative humidity recoatable at the earliest after 12 hours.   
Lower temperatures extend the drying time.

Tools

Tiefgrund TB is applied by brush (work in well) or suitable airless equipment. Do not use compressed-air spraying machines.

Airless Application:
Spray angle: 60°
Nozzle size: 0.029"
Spraying pressure: 50 - 60 bar

Tool Cleaning

Clean tools immediately after use with white spirit or brush cleaner.

Note

Always provide for a sufficiently long drying time when applied in sensitive areas.
When using Tiefgrund TB in interiors, a typical solvent odour is released, hence proper ventilation must be provided during application and drying.
Use non-aromatic, low-odour AmphiSilan-Putzfestiger in sensitive areas
(see Technical Information No. 670).

Compatibility with other Paint Products:
Do not mix Tiefgrund TB with other products.
