Elastomeric Acrylic Exterior Coating - Silatex Reflect

Surface Preparation:

• Make sure your surface is stable, clean, and dry.
• Remove any poorly adhering materials or old coatings.
• Clean it well by scrubbing or using appropriate chemicals.
• If the surface has holes or cracks, fill them with putty.

Priming:

• Before applying Silatex Reflect, use a suitable primer depending on your surface type.
• If it's cement-based, consider diluting Revinex with water in a 1:4 ratio.
• Or use solvent-based primers like Vinyfix Primer.

Application:

1. After priming, stir Silatex Reflect thoroughly.
2. Apply at least two layers using a roller, brush, or airless spray.
3. Wait about 24 hours between applying subsequent layers.

Special Notes:

• Don't apply Silatex Reflect in wet conditions or during rainy weather.
• If there's no sunshine, the coating may take longer to cure and remain tacky for a while.
• Use it only on outdoor surfaces exposed to UV radiation, not indoors.
• Avoid applying it on surfaces that don't get UV exposure.

Follow these steps carefully for a successful Silatex Reflect coating application.
