Elastomeric Exterior Wall Coating - Revinex Elastic

Surface Preparation:

• Make sure your surface is stable, clean, and dry.
• Remove any dust, oil, grease, or loose bits.
• If your surface has old coatings or poorly adhering materials, get rid of them.
• Depending on your surface type, you might need to do some smoothing to make it even.
• Your surface should be flat and smooth without holes or cracks. If not, fill them properly.

Priming:

• Before using Revinex Elastic, apply a suitable primer.
• For cement-based surfaces, mix Revinex primer with water (1 part Revinex primer to 4 parts water), or use solvent-based primers like Vinyfix Primer.

Application:

1. After priming, stir Revinex Elastic thoroughly.
2. Apply it in at least two layers using a roller, brush, or airless spray.
3. Wait about 24 hours between layers, and apply the second (and any subsequent) layer.

Special Tips:

• Don't use Revinex Elastic if it's wet or rainy during application or curing.
• If it's cloudy, the membrane might take longer to cure and stay tacky for a while.
• Use it only on exterior surfaces exposed to UV radiation, not indoors.
• Don't use it on surfaces that won't be exposed to UV light.

Follow these steps for a successful Revinex Elastic application on your surface.

When should I use Revinex Elastic?

• Use Revinex Elastic when you need to waterproof and protect exterior surfaces from moisture, UV radiation, and adverse weather conditions.

What surfaces can I apply Revinex Elastic on?

• You can apply it on surfaces like concrete, plaster, bricks, and cement boards, as long as they are stable, clean, and dry.

How do I prepare the surface before applying Revinex Elastic?

• Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, grease, and loose bits. Fill any holes or cracks, and make it flat and smooth.

Do I need to use a primer before applying Revinex Elastic?

• Yes, it's important to use a suitable primer before applying Revinex Elastic. For cement-based surfaces, you can mix Revinex primer with water or use solvent-based primers.

How many layers of Revinex Elastic should I apply?

• Apply at least two layers of Revinex Elastic, waiting about 24 hours between layers for optimal results.

Can I apply Revinex Elastic indoors?

• No, Revinex Elastic is meant for exterior surfaces exposed to UV radiation, not indoor use.

What should I do if it's cloudy during application?

• If it's cloudy, the membrane may take longer to cure and stay tacky for a while, so plan your application accordingly.

Can I use Revinex Elastic on surfaces not exposed to UV light?

• No, Revinex Elastic is designed for surfaces exposed to UV light and should not be used on surfaces that won't receive UV exposure.

What should I do if it's wet or rainy during application or curing?

• Do not apply Revinex Elastic if it's wet or rainy during application or curing to ensure the best results.

Is Revinex Elastic environmentally friendly?

• Yes, Revinex Elastic is eco-friendly, water-based, and a single-component product, making it a responsible choice for your waterproofing needs.

Is Revinex Elastic suitable for all types of exterior wall surfaces?

• Revinex Elastic is compatible with a variety of exterior wall surfaces, including concrete, plaster, bricks, and cement boards. However, it is essential to ensure that the surface is stable, clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, grease, and loose bits before applying the coating. Additionally, proper surface preparation and priming are crucial for optimal results.

Can I use Revinex Elastic on existing paint or coatings?

• Ideally, Revinex Elastic should be applied to a clean and prepared surface. If your existing paint or coatings are in good condition and properly adhering to the substrate, you can consider using Revinex Elastic over them. However, it's essential to assess the condition of the existing coating and follow the recommended surface preparation steps to ensure proper adhesion.

Is Revinex Elastic recommended for high-humidity areas?

• Yes, Revinex Elastic is an elastomeric waterproofing coating designed to provide exceptional moisture protection. It is suitable for use in high-humidity areas and can help protect exterior walls from the effects of moisture, including potential damage and deterioration.

Can I paint over Revinex Elastic with a different color?

• While Revinex Elastic offers a matte finish, it is possible to paint over it with a different color if desired. However, it's important to ensure that the surface is clean and properly prepared before applying any additional paint. Follow standard painting practices, including using compatible paint products and techniques, for the best results when changing the color of Revinex Elastic-coated surfaces.
