FAQs

How long does the paint take to become rainproof?

The paint is rainproof in approximately 20 minutes under normal conditions.

Can I use this paint on a previously painted surface?

Yes, it is suitable for use on previously painted masonry surfaces, provided the existing paint is sound and well-adhered.

What preparation is needed for porous surfaces like brick?

For optimal performance and adhesion on porous surfaces such as brick or concrete, it is recommended to use Pliocem Concrete Sealer before applying the masonry paint.

What surfaces is this paint suitable for?

It is designed for cement, rendering, rough cast, brick, and concrete surfaces.

Can I apply this paint in cold weather?

The paint has tolerance to damp and cold weather during application, allowing it to be rainproof quickly. However, avoid application in temperatures below 5°C or when frost is expected.

How do I clean my tools after use?

Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with water.

What is the typical coverage rate?

Coverage varies depending on the surface porosity and texture. Always refer to the product's packaging for specific coverage details.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free from dust, grease, or old flaking paint. For porous surfaces, a coat of Pliocem Concrete Sealer may be required before painting.

Uneven finish or color variation

Ensure paint was thoroughly stirred before application. Apply in consistent, even coats, maintaining a wet edge. Check for excessive absorption into the substrate; consider a primer or sealer if needed.

Paint appears to be washing off during application

Check the weather conditions. While rainproof in 20 minutes, very heavy rain shortly after application might still cause issues. Ensure the product has had adequate time to form its initial film before exposure to significant moisture.

Surface remains tacky after application

This can occur in very cold or humid conditions. Ensure application was within recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Allow for extended drying time in adverse conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fast drying time provides quick rain protection.
  • Excellent durability against moisture and alkali.
  • Good adhesion on various masonry substrates.
  • Suitable for application in less than ideal weather.
  • Can be used on both new and old painted surfaces.

Cons

  • May require a specific sealer for optimal performance on porous surfaces.
  • Color may not be suitable for all aesthetic preferences.
  • Application in very cold temperatures might still require caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, or grease. For chalky or porous surfaces, apply Palatine Paints Pliocem Concrete Sealer before painting. New masonry should be allowed to cure for at least six months before application.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller. Apply one or two coats as needed, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Avoid application in excessively high temperatures, strong winds, or when rain is imminent within the drying period.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on cement, rendering, rough cast, brick, and concrete. It can be applied over existing, sound masonry paint. Do not use on surfaces that are constantly damp or prone to condensation.

Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. Once dry, the painted surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
