Film Thickness per coat: DFT: 35 - 45μm
Spreading Capacity per Coat
The spreading capacity per coat depends on several factors, including the film thickness applied, the type of surface texture, surface porosity, surface imperfections, temperature, and wastage during painting. The maximum spread rate per coat is achieved at the minimum dry film thickness, and vice versa.
On smooth plaster, the spread rate ranges between 9–12 m² per litre. Wood-floated plaster covers approximately 7–9 m² per litre. Concrete blocks have a spread rate of 4–6 m² per litre, while rough and textured plaster covers between 2–4 m² per litre.
Surface Preparation and Application System
For new plaster surfaces, remove all loose particles and skim the surface using Crown Walplast Cement Putty. Apply Jewel Vinyl Matt or Interior/Exterior Emulsion Undercoat diluted up to 15% by volume with water. Finish with 1–2 coats of Jewel Vinyl Matt, also diluted up to 15% by volume with water.
For emulsion-painted surfaces in sound condition, sand and clean the surface thoroughly and fill any dents with an appropriate filler. No undercoat is required. Apply 1–2 coats of Jewel Vinyl Matt diluted up to 15% by volume with water.
For oil-based enamel painted surfaces in sound condition, sand down and clean the surface, filling dents with an appropriate filler. Apply 1–2 coats of Universal Undercoat diluted up to 10% by volume with White Spirit, followed by 1–2 coats of Jewel Vinyl Matt diluted up to 15% by volume with water.
For loosely bound, lime-washed, cement-painted, gypsum filler-coated surfaces, or chalky walls, remove all chalking down to a firm base and fill dents with an appropriate filler. Apply 1–2 coats of Crown Penetrating Primer (undiluted) or 1–2 coats of Interior/Exterior Emulsion Undercoat diluted up to 15% by volume with water. Finish with 1–2 coats of Jewel Vinyl Matt diluted up to 15% by volume with water.
For wood surfaces, sand along the grain. Apply Crown White or Aluminium Wood Primer, followed by Universal Undercoat diluted up to 10% by volume with White Spirit. Finish with 1–2 coats of Jewel Vinyl Matt diluted up to 15% by volume with water.
For boards, sand the surface thoroughly. Apply 1–2 coats of Acrylic Primer Sealer Undercoat diluted up to 10% by volume with water. Finish with 1–2 coats of Jewel Vinyl Matt diluted up to 15% by volume with water.
