INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
May be applied on:
- New and old plasters based on hydraulic binders.
- Concrete surfaces.
- Gypsum and gypsumboard surfaces.
- Old paints and wall coatings that are organic or mineral in
nature, dry, compact, absorbent and cohesive.
- Mineral conglomerates of various kinds, as long as they are absorbent.
Surfaces should be adequately prepared by following the instructions given in the paragraph 'PREPARING THE
SURFACE'.
Do not apply on freshly painted surfaces.

PREPARING THE SURFACE
Plasters, gypsum and gypsum board surfaces
- Make sure that the surface is thoroughly dried and aged. Resurface or consolidate using specific products if
necessary.
- If mold is present, treat the surface with COMBAT 222 cleanser code 4810222, and with COMBAT 333
reconstruction code. 4810333.
- Brush or wash to remove any efflorescence and any old peeling paint. Completely eliminate any raised layers of lime-based or tempera paints.
- Remove any dust, smog or other deposits by brushing.
- Level any irregularities in the surface and treat holes, cracks, crevices and gaps with TAMSTUCCO
9400006/9410110 or STUCCOFACILE 9560019. Use adequate sealants to seal any cracks.
- Sand putty and touch-ups with sandpaper; remove dust.
- Smooth if necessary with RASAMIX 9440160 or with BETOMARC 9450150 or RASOMARC 9500150 according
to the type of support.
- Bond with a coat of IDROFIS 4700006 acrylic water-based wall fixative or ATOMO 8840001 micronized
solvent-free fixative.
- Apply DECORFOND as described in the application instructions.
- After at least six hours you may apply VELATURE, PERLACEO or DECORI CLASSICI.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Ambient and support surface conditions:
Ambient temperature: Min. +8 °C / Max. +35 °C
Relative environmental humidity: <75%
Support surface temperature: Min. +5 °C / Max. +35 °C
Moisture level of the support surface: <10%
- Tools: brush, roller, spraying or airless means.
- Nr coats: 1 ot 2 based on the state of the support surface.
Be sure to use crosshatched horizontal and vertical movements to produce an eve, ideal support for applying
decoratives finishes.
- Dilution: 30-35 % with water for both the first and second
coat.
- In airless applications the dilution varies according to the equipment and pressure used.
- Clean tools with water immediately after use.
- Indicative covering capacity: 8-10 m2/l per coat, referring to applications on smooth surfaces with medium
absorption. The actual yield is best determined by performing a preliminary test on the specific support
surface.
