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. Treat knots and resinous areas with Tikkurila Knotting Lacquer. Use suitable Tikkurila fillers for filling cracks, nail holes, blemishes, etc. 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

Prime new bare wood overall and if necessary spot prime all bare areas on previously painted wood with Otex Adhesion Primer or.
Prime all bare metal and potential rust spots with Rostex Super Metal Primer

Application

Painting Conditions

All surfaces to be painted must be dry, the temperature of the air at least +5 degrees C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80%.

Painting

Stir the paint thoroughly and apply one or two coats of Miranol depending upon the condition of the substrate and possible colour change. Always apply two coats onto surfaces which have only been primed.

Coverage

12-14 m2/litre per coat for metal surfaces. Wet-film thickness approximately 70-80 µm per coat, dry film approximately 35-40 µm per coat.
10-12 m2/litre per coat for wooden surfaces. Wet-film thickness approximately 80-100 µm per coat, dry-film approximately 30-40 µm per coat. The above should only be used as a guide as actual spreading rates will depend upon many factors including texture, porosity and application method.

Drying Times

At 23 degrees C and 50% relative humidity of the air: normally touch-dry after 3-4 hours and recoatable after 24 hours. Low temperatures and high humidity will prolong drying times.

Cleaning of Tools

Clean immediately after use with white spirit.

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 for hazardous waste.
