Specifications
Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, dirt, oil, wax, rust, all loose material and surface contamination. Use recommended Tikkurila products for mould removal and cleaning. Use suitable Tikkurila fillers for filling cracks, nail holes, blemishes, etc., and levelling of uneven surfaces. Ensure that existing glossy, gloss painted and filled surfaces are thoroughly flatted down. Ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly prepared prior to priming and painting.
Priming
Spot prime all bare areas on previously painted walls and ceilings with Eko-Joker. Prime all bare wood with Unica Adhesion Primer or Otex, and bare metal with Rostex Super Metal Primer.
Application
- Methods: brush, roller or spray
- For airless spray: use a 0.015" - 0.021" spray tip
- Thinning: if necessary by up to 10% with water
Painting conditions
All surfaces to be painted must be dry, the temperature of the air at least +5 deg. C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80%.
Painting
Stir the paint thoroughly and apply one or two coats of Eko-Joker depending upon the condition of the substrate and possible colour change. Always apply two coats on unpainted surfaces.
Coverage
10-12 m2/litre per coat. Wet-film thickness approximately 80-100 µm per coat, dry-film approximately 30-40 µm per coat. On porous and rough surfaces the spreading rate will be considerably lower. Actual spreading rates will depend upon many factors including texture, porosity and moisture content of the substrate.
Drying times
At 23 deg. C and 50% relative humidity of the air: normally touch-dry in 1/2 hour and recoatable after 1-2 hours.
Cleaning of tools
Clean with water immediately after use.
Prevent environmental damage
Empty cans should be recycled or disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Liquid waste should be destroyed according to the local regulations.

according to EC Directive 99/45/EC
Not classified as hazardous for health. Handle with care, avoid prolonged contact with skin and breathing of spray mist. A Material Safety Data Sheet is available on request.
