NAME: KLONDIKE CORTEN MID.
TYPE: a coating for exteriors and interiors characterised by the Corten effect, which precisely reproduces the well-known original rust effect with its distinct metal oxidations.
USE: water-based interior and exterior decorations.
TECHNICAL DATA:
Specific weight: 1.200 ± 30 gr/L T at 25°C
Yield:
2 - 3 m2/LT one coating on a smooth surface (it may vary according to the roughness, surface absorption and application methods).
1,5 - 2 m2/LT two coatings on a smooth surface (it may vary according to the roughness, surface absorption and application methods).
Aesthetic effect: oxidised steel.
Colours: colours from the catalogue
DRYING:
On the surface: 1 hour at 20°C.
Overpainting: 3-4 hours at 20°C
In depth: 24 hours at 20°C
CHARACTERISTICS AND RESISTANCE: once Klondike Corten Mid hardens completely, a breathable film forms having excellent resistance to abrasion and washability . Once dry, KLONDIKE CORTEN MID can withstand both high temperatures (+50°C) and low temperatures (-40°C).
PREPARATION OF THE SURFACE:
Smooth surfaces: strip away old peeling paint or crumbling paint and wash with adequate soap. Next, apply filler where necessary to obtain a uniform surface. Once the surface dries, sand it and apply a suitable fixative, especially on lime-washed surfaces or on lime-based plasters. Next, apply PRIMER 1200 with a woollen roller or brush or sprayer with criss-cross strokes for improved coverage. After 6 hours at 20°C, apply KLONDIKE CORTEN MID.
Rough or unfinished surfaces: strip away old peeling paint or crumbling paint and wash with adequate soap. Apply a suitable fixative, especially on lime-washed surfaces or on lime-based plasters. Next, apply a coat of KLONDIKE RASANTE R7 using the PV 43 stainless steel trowel so as to smooth the surface as far as possible. KLONDIKE RASANTE R7 also acts as a primer, therefore, after 12 hours at 20°C, apply KLONDIKE CORTEN MID without applying PRIMER 1200.
PREPARATION OF THE PRODUCT:
Dilution: ready to use
APPLICATION:System: brush-trowel
Number of coating: 1- 2
APPLICATION CYCLE:
1) Trowelled effect: apply one coat of KLONDIKE CORTEN MID to fully cover the surface using the PV 43 stainless steel trowel, applying strokes in all directions to leave a layer of paint roughly 1 mm thick. Coverage: One litre for roughly 2 - 3 m2, one coat on smooth surfaces.
2) Dripping effect: apply one coat of KLONDIKE CORTEN MID with the narrow side of brush PV 09 or block brush Item 128 from top to bottom and vice-versa, leaving jagged streaks 1 mm - 2 cm wide and 1 - 2 mm thick, and as long as possible, along the entire surface being decorated.After 15 - 20 minutes at 20°C, apply a second coat using the stainless steel PV 43 trowel and spread the paint vertically from top to bottom and vice- versa, leaving a layer of paint roughly 1 mm thick. Lastly, smooth the surface vertically while taking care not to remove KLONDIKE CORTEN MID .It is important to apply the product wet-on-wet to avoid letting it dry, especially along the joints.
Coverage: One litre for roughly 1.5 - 2 m2, two coats on smooth surfaces.
Application temperature: above +10°C and below +25°C. Do not apply under direct sunlight or in windy conditions. Avoid applying on humid days or on ice-cold surfaces.
Storage: in a tightly closed container, even after use, at temperatures above +5°C and below +30°C.
Stability: roughly 1 year in tightly closed containers that are never opened.
NOTES: mix very well before use . Wash the tools soon after use with water and soap.
