KEIM GRANITAL

Product Description

Keim Granital is a classic mineral paint system for use on exterior mineral surfaces. Offers water repellency, vapour permeability and forms a chemical crystalline bond with the substrate.

Keim Granital is made using pure inorganic mineral fillers, earth oxide colour pigments and potassium silicate binder.

Application instructions

Substrate preparation :

All loose, flaking and unstable material must be identified and then thoroughly removed, all surfaces must be thoroughly washed down with clean cold water to remove all surface dirt and dust. When all surfaces are clean, sound, wind dry, dust free and free from all surface contaminants, decoration using Keim Mineral Paints may proceed.

Application :

If the substrate is porous we would advise to first coat all surfaces with Keim Granital Dilution, brush applied and worked well into all surfaces, this will help reduce any high surface porosity and should be left for a minimum period of 12 hours before further decoration.

Onto unpainted surfaces Keim Granital should be applied as a two coat system, the first coat to be diluted with up to 20% by weight Keim Granital Dilution and applied by brush or roller, working well into all surfaces. After a minimum period of 12 hours a final coat of Keim Granital may be applied undiluted.

It is important to point out that when any redecoration is taking place this must be taken back to a natural breakline.

Application conditions :

Ambient and substrate temperature above 5°C and below 30°C. Do not apply in direct sunlight or onto sun-heated surfaces, nor if it is raining or if there is an immediate likelihood of rain.
