INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Surface preparation

Surfaces to be coated must be sound, clean and free of oil or grease. Any oil or grease contamination should be removed with a proprietary chemical degreaser. If the surface is dusty, it should be primed with a coat of PROOFEX WATER BASE, diluted with an equal quantity of cool, clean water and allowed to dry.

Application

UB EMULSION PAINT may be applied by brush, broom or squeegee. It is recommended that one or two coats should be applied depending on the degree of protection required. Allow a minimum of 2 hours between coats. Where the Proofex (W.B) is to take a screed, the second coat should be blinded with clean, dry sharp sand as soon as applied. The excess sand should be brushed off when the coating has dried.

Cleaning

UB EMULSION PAINT should be removed from tools and equipment with water when it is wet. On drying UB EMULSION PAINT may be removed with Kerosene or white spirit.

STORAGE

UB EMULSION PAINT has a shelf life of 6 months if stored in shade below 45°C under normal warehouse conditions.
