Aqua DL-65 Top PU

The substrate must be clean, dust-free and dry.

Dimensionally stable wood building elements: wood moisture content 11-15%

Wood building elements with limited or no dimensional stability: wood moisture content max. 18%

Thoroughly remove any dirt, grease and non-adhering old coatings.

Thoroughly sand any old coatings that are still intact.

Sand grey and weathered wood surfaces down to sound, bright wood.

Observe BFS Code of Practice No. 18 "Coatings on Wood and Wooden Working Materials in Outdoor Areas".

Pre-treat exterior wood that is to be protected from soft rot and blue stain with Aqua IG-15-Impregnation Primer IT* - not necessary for interior wood (*use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use).

If a white or light-coloured top coat is used, to avoid bleeding of coloured substances contained in the wood pre-treat with Aqua AG-26 All Primer

Stir well.

Apply with a brush, roller or by spraying.

Flow cup gun: nozzle size: 2.0 - 2.5 mm; atomiser air pressure: 2.0 - 3.0 bar.

Airless spraying: nozzle size: 0.28-0.33 mm; material pressure: 90-120 bar.

Air-mix spraying: nozzle size: 0.28-0.33 mm; material pressure: 70-90 bar, atomiser air pressure 1-2 bar.

Apply further coats once dry.

Apply 2 - 3 coats with a slight intermediate sanding.

If the substrate has been pre-treated with Aqua AG-26 All Primer, 1-2 coats are suffcient.

Maintenance coating: 1 - 2 coats with a slight intermediate sanding.

Seal opened containers well and use contents as soon as possible.

Prior to full application, please apply a test coat to a sample area under practical conditions using the desired system, then test or examine the surface properties.

Check colour, adhesion and compatibility with the substrate by setting up a trial area.

Do not use at temperatures below +5°C.

If the temperature is too low or the humidity too high, it will take longer for the material to reach the desired properties.

If the temperature is too high or the humidity too low, the material will dry more quickly. In such cases, we recommend adding Aqua OZA-90 Open Time Additive.

Divide large surfaces into strips and do not coat extensive areas all at once.

Areas that are being coated or dried should be protected against rain, wind, sunlight and condensation.

Bright, intense colours such as yellow, orange and red may have a lower covering capacity as a natural consequence of the pigments used. When using these colours, it is therefore recommended either to first apply a coat of a similar colour with a greater covering capacity, or to apply a second coat in the desired colour.

Gaskets that contain plasticizers tend to become sticky in conjunction with dispersion paints. Use plasticizer-free gaskets.

Sealing compounds must be compatible with the coating and may only be applied once the coating has dried thoroughly.

Please check paint compatibility with plasticised seals in advance, alternatively use plasticiser-free products (e.g. TPE seals).

Dust dry: approx. 30 minutes
Touch dry: approx. 1 hour
Overcoating: approx. 4 hours

Practice values at +20 °C and 65% relative humidity.

The coating may take significantly longer to dry thoroughly in lower temperatures, at high humidity or if the maximum layer thickness has been exceeded.

If necessary, thin with up to 5% water or Aqua OZA-90 Open Time Additive.

Paintbrush with synthetic bristles, flat brush, flow cup gun, airless/airmix spraying equipment

Clean tools immediately after use with water and detergent.

Ensure that any residue from cleaning is disposed of correctly.

If stored unopened in its original container in a cool, dry place and protected against frost, the product will keep for at least 24 months.

Approx. 100 ml/m² per coat

DIN EN 71-3 "Migration of certain elements":

This product complies with the limits for the migration of heavy metals to children's toys according to DIN EN 71-3 and thus fulfils one of several further requirements for the safety of children's toys according to the EU "Toy Directive" (2009/48/EC).

On planed larch and softwoods with a high resin content, the coating may have reduced adhesion and resistance to weathering. This is especially the case on horizontal year rings, knots and areas of winter growth that are high in resin. Maintenance and renovation must be carried out more frequently on these surfaces.
The only remedy for this is pre-weathering or very coarse sanding (P80).
If these wood types are rough-sawn, considerably longer maintenance and renovation intervals are to be expected.

Observe the regulations concerning design principles for wood protection.

Do not use on horizontal surfaces without drainage slopes and without edge radius, avoid accumulated moisture.

Larger quantities of leftover product should be disposed of in the original containers in accordance with the applicable regulations. Completely empty, clean containers should be recycled. Do not dispose of together with household waste. Do not allow to enter the sewage system. Do not empty into drains.
