Centrecoat Chlorinated Rubber Swimming Pool Paint is a premium quality modified chlorinated rubber top coat for use over a suitable primer in swimming pools.

Best Uses

Centrecoat Chlorinated Rubber Swimming Pool Paint is resistant to salt water, a wide range of chemicals and acids, making it ideal for swimming pool environments. This chlorinated rubber swimming pool paint gives high quality protection in moderate to severe corrosive atmospheres.

Can be used for swimming pools, parlours, piping, laundries and marine applications.

Not suitable for vinyl swimming pool liners or plastic tanks.

Application

Surfaces to be painted should be free from nibs, cavities, and other imperfections. Mould, oil stains, if any, must be removed. Moisture content of concrete should be below 14% prior to application of any coating. Concrete and render should be treated with a suitable acid etch prior to painting to remove any dirt and laitance and to create a good “key” for the paint.

Apply a 10% thinned coat of Centrecoat Chlorinated Rubber Swimming Pool Paint to prime and seal the surface prior to applying any unthinned coats. Surfaces previously painted with Centrecoat Chlorinated Rubber Swimming Pool Paint and that are in good condition can be scrubbed clean, and the surface roughened to help adhesion of the new coating.

Old perished Centrecoat Chlorinated Rubber Swimming Pool Paint coats should be removed mechanically and treated as new substrate and prepared accordingly.

Failing to prepare the surface correctly may possibly result in the chlorinated rubber paint failing.

Mix well before use. In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.
Apply a preceding coat of a suitable primer on metal and wood. On concrete and porous surfaces use Centrecoat Chlorinated Rubber Swimming Pool Paint thinned 10% with suitable thinner. Apply via airless spray and/or brush or micro fibre paint roller. For airless spray, dilute up to 5% with suitable thinner. Use nozzle size 0.017” - 0.021” at a pressure of 150 BAR. Apply slowly to prevent the paint from bubbling.

Always provide good ventilation during the application and drying processes. An average pool will require 25 litres of chlorinated rubber paint for 2 coats.

It is vital that the paint is allowed to dry for a minimum of 10 - 14 days at 20°C before the pool is refilled. This time span will need to increase at lower temperatures and high humidity.
