Surface Preparation

• Mould Free Surfaces - Must be clean, dry, sound and free of dirt, dust, grease, wax, wallcovering adhesive, soap film, loose paint or other surface contamination. Wash surfaces with a degreaser & cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
• Mould Contaminated Surfaces - Remove all existing mould and mildew before painting. Ensure surfaces are completely dry before painting with a maximum moisture content of 5%. If you are concerned about mould and mildew behind walls, underneath flooring, in ventilation systems or other unseen areas, contact a professional who specializes in mould and mildew remediation.

For commercial buildings and schools follow appropriate guidelines for mould removal. Check for satisfactory paint adhesion. For more information contact our Technical Team.

Stains
Rust, tannin, grease, mould and mildew and other stains should be blocked with the appropriate stain killing primer-sealer. When priming over stained areas, first attempt to remove as much of the stain as possible by washing, sanding, scraping, etc.

Application
Shake or stir well before using. Apply with synthetic bristle brush, short pile roller or mohair roller sleeve. For airless spraying, use a .017 tip and high medium (2000- 2600 PSI) pressure. Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 10°and 32°C and humidity is less than 80%. Mould Guard is designed to be used as is. If thinning is necessary (such as with conventional sprayer applications), use only water and no more than 10% by volume.
