Capacryl Effektlack

Suitable Substrates

Thoroughly primed, dimensionally stable wooden parts (construction elements). Primed metal and other dimensionally stable surfaces of building materials. The substrate must always be sound/stable, dry, clean, and free from all substances that may prevent good adhesion.
Maximum permissible wood moisture content (WMC): 12 %.

Substrate Preparation

New Wooden Parts (Construction Elements):
Sand/grind the surface of wood in fibre direction, clean thoroughly and remove seeping wood contents, e.g. resin/rosin and resin galls/pitch pockets, cut sharp edges.
Germany: See BFS-Merkblatt (Data Sheet) No. 18.

Iron, Steel:
Derust to industry standard SA 2 2½ (blasting) or ST3 (mechanically) according to DIN EN ISO 12944-4.

Zinc/Galvanised Surfaces:
Clean with abrasive non-woven web and Multistar, 1 : 5 diluted with tap (potable) water or wash with light ammonia solution using sanding pad as per German BFS Data Sheet No. 5.

Aluminium, Copper:
Clean with abrasive non-woven web and Multistar, 1 : 5 diluted with tap (potable) water.
Follow German BFS Data Sheet No. 6.

Existing Paint Coatings:
Sand the surface of existing non-thermoplastic coats slightly and/or treat with alkali. Carefully remove all non-adherent/unstable coatings.

Method of Application

Guidelines for Spray Application:

	Ø Nozzle	Spray Pressure	Air Pressure	Dilution
Airless	0.010 – 0.012 inch	180 - 200 bar	–	-
Airmix/Aircoat	0.008 – 0.012 inch	120 bar	2.0 bar	-

Application:
Capacryl Effektlack is only applicable with Airless and Aircoat/Airmix spraying technique. 
The above given specifications may vary, depending on the manufacturer and type of equipment.
Spray large, seamless surfaces wet-on-wet or spray surfaces in several smaller operation segments and border them (if necessary).

Note:
Spraying of effect enamels on large, seamless surfaces without any visible lapping is generally a challenge for craftsmanship.
Particularly on facades, for multiple structural scaffolding levels and with unsettled climatic conditions, it is only possible at rare intervals to achieve an absolutely perfect surface without any visible clouding effect and lapping.
These product and field condition typical irregularities must be accepted. Thus, it is advisable to notify the circumstances to the customer and to stipulate a trial coating on site.

✱Always use Capacryl Holz-IsoGrund on wood with watersoluble, discolouring substances of content that leave marks. 2 x on knots.  Note: Adhesion must be tested in advance for powder coatings, coil coatings and other critical/problematic substrates by coating a test area on site.  Do not apply on anodized aluminium.

Consumption

Approx. 120 to 220 ml/m² per coat, depending on the necessary coating thickness.
The wet film thickness should not exceed 200 µm (consumption: approx. 220 ml/m²).  
Consumption is only a guide value and may vary, depending on substrate requirements.
Determine the exact amount of material required by coating a test area on site.

Application Conditions

Low Temperature Limit for Application and Drying:
8 °C for product, ambient air and substrate.

Drying/Drying Time

At 20 °C and 65 % relative humidity	dust dry	cured
After hours at 200 µm (wet film thickness)	2	48

Lower temperatures and higher humidity extend the drying times.

Tool Cleaning

Immediately after use with soapy water.
