Field of Application

Water-dilutable, transparent (colourless) emulsion primer for equalizing solid substrates with high or uneven absorbency.
The primer is particularly suitable for use on AAC (autoclaved aerated concrete) / cellular concrete. Priming with Capaplex has also a noticeably extending effect on the drying process (open time) of subsequently applied coatings of synthetic plastic paint. Also suitable as wash-resistant, transparent, non-yellowing coating for wallpapers.

Material Properties

Non-yellowing.

Material Base / Vehicle

Modified aqueous (water based) synthetic resin dispersion/emulsion.

Packaging/Package Size

1 litre, 5 litres and 10 litres

(–) inapplicable / (○) of limited suitability / (+) suitable

Suitable Substrates

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

Substrate Preparation

See Technical Information No. 650 "Substrates and their Preparation" for suitability of the product on various substrates and their special pre-treatment.

Thinning

Dilute with tap (potable) water only.

Surface Coating System

On substrates with normal absorbency apply Capaplex diluted with 1 - 2 parts of tap (potable) water.
On highly absorbent substrates apply Capaplex diluted with 3 - 4 parts of tap water (two applications, if necessary).
On uncoated AAC (autoclaved aerated concrete) apply Capaplex diluted with 3 parts of tap water.

To achieve silk-matt coatings or as wallpaper protective coating in interiors, dilute Capaplex with 1 - 2 parts of tap water. For matt coatings dilute with 4 parts of tap water and for satin-finished coatings apply Capaplex without dilution.
Improve glue-bound distemper (limewater colour/paint) with approx. 5 % of Capaplex.

In individual cases a partial dissolution of colour prints may occur on some types of wallpapers. Hence, the compatibility must always be tested by a previously applied trial coat.

Consumption

Approx. 50 - 200 ml/m² depending on dilution, absorbency of the substrate and substrate condition. Determine the exact amount of material required and degree of dilution by coating a test area on site.

Application Conditions

Lower Temperature Limit for Application and Drying:
+5 °C for product, substrate and ambient air.

Drying/Drying Time

At +20 °Cand 65 % relative humidity recoatable after approx. 12 hours. Lower temperatures extend the drying time.
