Recommended Uses
As a finishing coat applied over Omega Undercoat, highly recommended for coating exterior and interior building structures including laboratories and hospitals, and for all decorative purposes.
Features
• Easy to clean, economical and low cost maintenance.
• Excellent resistance to the effects of ultra-violet light and weathering.
• Excellent retention of colors that can be obtained using tinting machines
• Excellent adhesion and flexibility.
• Excellent hiding power and short drying times, reducing application times considerably.
• Odor free, used in all areas where solvent based coatings are prevented.
Application Instruction
• Method of Application : Suitable brush, roller or airless spray (it is not recommended to use synthetic bristle large surface paint brush).
• Mixing : Stir well before application in order to ensure that a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Thinner / Cleaner : Water is used for thinning or cleaning. Mixing ratio with water depends on method of application. No dilution is required when airless spray is used at 20°C, other method of application (brush or roller) will need up to 15% approx. by volume water.
• Application Temperature : 10-40?C.
• Note : When recoating, a special attention should be given toward drying times.

Surface Preparation
Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Surface must be clean, undamaged and free of oil, grease and other contaminants prior to coating.
Do not apply to existing coatings (oil-based or water-based) without further surface preparation such as cleaning, abrading and leveling the surface if required, and applying a suitable undercoat.
Drying Time
• Dry to Touch : 20 minutes
• Dry to Handle : 1 hour “minimum recoat time”
• Note : Drying times can be affected by many factors such as temperature, ventilation and coat thickness. Higher temperatures will shorten the drying times.
Storing Conditions
• Must not be allowed to be stored in untreated metals that are likely to corrode. Containers must be kept tightly closed. Exposure to strong heat and frost must be avoided.
• Shelf life is two years from packing date in unopened original containers at 10 to 40°C. Containers should be kept tightly closed.
Safety:
Avoid skin or eye contact. Prolonged contact may cause irritation of the skin and mucous membranes.
