Mapei Quarzolite Pittura Paint

Mapei Quarzolite Paint is an acrylic paint with micro quartz for internal and external application with a smooth finish and high durability.

Designed for use when painting new and old surfaces where a protective coating is required against environmental aggression and sunlight.

Best Uses

The Mapei Quarzolite Paint system is perfect for all types of new, well-cured cementitious or lime based renders which are regular well bonded and solid. This paint is also suitable for painting over old paints, and old plastic or mineral coating materials which are well bonded to the substrate. Suitable for both internal and external walls as protection against aggressive attacks of smog, salt and sunlight.

Application

Preparation of the substrate
New surfaces or surfaces which have been patched with mortar must be well cured, perfectly clean, sound and dry. Completely remove all traces of oil or grease from the surface and also parts which are not well attached. Seal any cracks which are present in the substrate and repair the parts which are in poor condition. Seal off the porosity and smooth off any irregular parts in the substrate. Apply Mapei Malech (ready-to-use) and, after 12 - 24 hours, apply the Quarzolite Paint.

Preparation of the product
Dilute Quarzolite Paint with 15-20% water, making sure that it is well mixed together. If possible, use a low-speed drill to help with mixing. If only partial quantities are to be prepared, make sure that the Quarzolite Paint is well mixed in its original container before pouring off the quantity required.

Application of the product
Quarzolite Paint is applied using traditional methods with a brush, a roller or with a spray gun on top of a coat of dry Mapei Malech primer. For bright colours with poor covering properties, use Quarzolite Base Coat or Dursilite Base Coat of the same colour instead of Mapei Malech. If you decide to use Mapei Malech (colourless), we recommend diluting it with 20-30% of Quarzolite Paint in the final colour chosen. This makes it easier to identify the areas where primer has been applied, and also forms a coloured base coat which helps cover the substrate.

The protection cycle foresees the application of at least two coats of Quarzolite Paint, applied at a distance of 24 hours between each coat under normal conditions of humidity and temperature, and in all cases when the underlying layer is completely dry.
