INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
May be applied on surfaces previously painted with DECORFOND 3880019:
- 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.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Type of Binder: synthetic copolymer in water emulsion
- Pigments and charges: iridescent charges
- Solvent: water
- Indoor Air Quality classification: A+
- Specific gravity UNI EN ISO 2811-1: 1,15 - 1,25 kg/l
- Classification of reaction to fire EN13501-1: Class A2 s1 d0 Referred to a consumption not exceeding that indicated, and to an application on a non-combustible surface.
- Drying times (at 25 ºC and 65% relative humidity): touch dry in 1 hour, second coat applicable after 6 hours.

PREPARING THE SURFACE
Plaster, 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. To protect the wall from mold formation, add COMBAT 444 code 4810444 sanitizer to the product.
- 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. Use adequate sealants to seal any cracks.
- Sand putty and touch-ups with sandpaper; remove dust.
- Smooth the plaster, 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 2 coats of DECORFOND 3880019 diluted at 30-35% with water, see the relevant technical data sheet.
- Once the undercoat is completely dry apply CADORO.
*(The dilution of the fixative and amounts to be applied depend on the absorption of the support surface, and must be determined through preliminary tests on the specific support surface - See the relevant technical data sheet).

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Ambient and support surface conditions:
Ambient temperature: Min. +8 °C / Max. +35 °C
Relative environmental humidity: <75%
Temperature of the surface: Min. +5 °C / Max. +35 °C
Moisture level of the support surface: <10%
- Tools: brush, steel/plastic trowel.
- No. of coats: 2
- Dilution: ready to use
Application method
- Apply CADORO over the dry primer with the plastic or
steel trowel, spreading the paint evenly.
Once the first coat has dried apply a second coat of CADORO with the plastic or steel trowel, using the tool in a rotating movement in criss-crossed movement to create a two-tone faceted effect.
- Tool cleaning with water should be carried out immediately after use.
-Wall cleaning: after at least 20 days, with water.
- Indicative spreading rate: 4-6 sq m/l with two coats depending on the desired effect, referred to smooth
surfaces with average absorbency. It is advisable to determine the real spreading rate with a preliminary test on the specific substrate.
