Fenomastic Pure Colours Emulsion Matt

Substrate/General Requirements
A program and sequencing has to be done by the construction team for painting of the
different areas to ensure that structures can be coated in a continuous operation with
paint from the same batch.
The surface to be coated shall be in ready condition. All necessary repairs to the
substrate have to be completed well in advance of the painting to ensure repairs/filling
material have completely dried out/ cured.
The substrate shall be fully cured before starting any painting works.
The substrate should have enough strength to carryout painting works. The ideal
minimum compressive strength of the substrate is 15 N/mm 2 for good paint adhesion to
the substrate.
The substrate should be free from oil, grease and other chemical impurities.
No coating/painting works shall be undertaken until trials have been completed and site
samples are approved.
Areas/items that need protection adjacent to painting area shall be masked off.
The substrate should be completely dry before painting. A dry substrate normally will
have a pH value of 10 or less.

Note:
Substrates like spray plaster can be chalky and powdery if the right mixing and
application procedures for these materials are not followed, which can result in low
substrate strength. A substrate with low strength can cause adhesion problems to paints
and can cause failures eventually. Any such issues to be rectified before starting the
painting works.
Application of a solvent based penetrating primer like Jotun Penetrating Sealer can
reduce the effects of a chalky substrate and improve the strength of the substrate
moderately.

Painting Tools/Equipment
Wire brush, abrasive paper, carborundum stone etc.
Roller, brush, scraper/spatula/putty knife, spray equipment, paint tray, extension rod,
compressor etc.
WFT gauge, moisture meter, temperature gauge, humidity meter, pH meter/paper

Application Method Statement
Fenomastic My Home Rich Matt(IM)

Substrate/General Requirements
• All painting shall be strictly carried out in accordance with Jotun’s recommendations.
• A program and sequencing has to be done by the construction team for painting of the
different areas to ensure that structures can be coated in a continuous operation with
paint from the same batch.
• The surface to be coated shall be in ready condition. All necessary repairs to the
substrate have to be completed well in advance of the painting to ensure repairs/filling
material have completely dried out/ cured.
• The substrate shall be fully cured before starting any painting works.
• The substrate should have enough strength to carryout painting works. The ideal
minimum compressive strength of the substrate is 15 N/mm2 for good paint adhesion to
the substrate.
• The substrate should be free from oil, grease and other chemical impurities.
• No coating/painting works shall be undertaken until trials have been completed and site
samples are approved.
• Areas/items that need protection adjacent to painting area shall be masked off.
• The substrate should be completely dry before painting. A dry substrate normally will
have a pH value of 10 or less.

Note:
• Substrates like spray plaster can be chalky and powdery if the right mixing and
application procedures for these materials are not followed, which can result in low
substrate strength. A substrate with low strength can cause adhesion problems to paints
and can cause failures eventually. Any such issues to be rectified before starting the
painting works.
• Application of a solvent based penetrating primer like Jotun Penetrating Sealer can
reduce the effects of a chalky substrate and improve the strength of the substrate
moderately.

Painting Tools/Equipment
• Wire brush, abrasive paper, carborundum stone etc.
• Roller, brush, scraper/spatula/putty knife, spray equipment, paint tray, extension rod,
compressor etc.
• WFT gauge, moisture meter, temperature gauge, humidity meter, pH meter/paper

Personal Protective Equipment

•
All people involved in application, inspection and supervision should wear the required
PPE as mentioned below and as per the product SDS and local regulations.
❖ Protective coveralls/high visibility jackets (as per site rules), Safety helmet, Safety shoes,
Gloves, Face mask, Gas mask (for solvented products)
Full body safety harness when working at heights

• Avoid fume accumulation in the case of solvented products and products with low flash
point by allowing good ventilation. Take extra safety measures while applying paint in
confined spaces. Contact Jotun in such cases for specific advices.
• Make sure that all project and local safety rules are followed.
• Please observe the environmental and precautionary notices displayed on the container.
Also, refer the product safety data sheet for detailed information regarding health and
safety risks and precautions for the use of this product.
Quality Assurance
• Ensure a dry, clean and sound substrate.
• The substrate should have enough strength to carryout painting works. A scratch with a
metallic nail should not produce a deep impression on the substrate or a tape test on the
substrate should not cause deposition of substrate particles on the tape.
• Measure moisture content in the substrate using a moisture meter and ensure that it is
below 10 % before starting painting.
• Wet Film Thickness of the coating to be applied can be found out using this formula
WFT=DFT/Volume solids %.
• Use WFT gauge to control the wet film thickness, if the WFT to be applied is more than
150 microns.
• If the WFT to be applied is less than 150 microns, control thickness by calculating the
spreading rate for the required thickness using the formula.
Spreading rate in sq.m/L = 10 x volume solids/DFT
• Ensure sufficient ventilation during and immediately after painting
• Avoid painting if the substrate temperature is less than 10 0C and if the substrate
temperature is not more 3°C than the dew point temperature.
• Avoid painting if the substrate temperature is above 45 0C.
• Avoid painting if the relative humidity in the vicinity is above 80%.

Surface Preparation

Plastered surfaces/Concrete

• Ensure that the plastered surface/Concrete is cured for at least 21 days.

• If any contamination like oil, grease, chemicals etc. are found, remove it from the
substrate by employing proper degreasing methods like detergent wash followed by fresh
water wash.
• If fungus/algae presence is noticed, use fungicide/biocide wash followed by fresh water
wash for areas affected with fungus, algae or similar growths.
• Check the plaster/concrete for any cracks. If cracks are found on the plastered
surface/concrete, use appropriate cementitious/ acrylic/ epoxy filler compatible with the
selected paint system to fill the cracks before painting.

 APPLICATION METHOD STATEMENT

Coating System:

1 x Jotafloor Sealer HS @100 microns

2 x Jotafloor EPC 300 Plus @ 200 mic dft each

1. SURFACE PREPARATION
The power floated concrete floor should be prepared by means of “captivated blasting” to
ensure removal of any laitance and other loose particles and to ensure a perfect bond for the
subsequent coating system.
If captive blasting method cannot be employed due to any reason, one of the following
methods of surface preparation must be adopted.
 Grinding
 Disc or stone grinder may be used.
Whichever surface preparation method is employed, ensure that the laitance (powdery
material on the concrete surface) and loose particles are removed from the concrete surface.
Also, see that the surface smoothness of the power floated concrete surface is removed and a
light surface profile is created to allow proper adhesion of the coating to the concrete surface.
After the surface preparation is completed, remove all the dust formed on
the surface an industrial vacuum machine. Vacuum cleaning is also recommended before the
start of each of the coat.
Coating should not be relied upon to improve the tolerance's or flatness levels in the
substrate. The substrate should be prepared to the appropriate tolerance prior to the
application of coating. Tolerance's can be corrected but this is a separate operation which
must be completed before installing the coating. Coating will generally follow the
contours of the substrate and have the same tolerance's as the substrate to which it is
applied. Applicators are advised to check the tolerances of the substrate before they
begin with the preparation.

2. APPLICATION PRIMER COAT

a. All the floors to be coated should be surface dry, ensure that the moisture content in
the concrete floor is around 5% or below. If the surface preparation was completed the
previous day, the floor should be re-vacuumed to ensure all dust is removed.
b. Stir Jotafloor Sealer HS component ‘A’ and component ‘B’ independently and carefully
add component ‘B’ to component ‘A’ in the container provided. Use a slow speed drill
and suitable mixing attachment. Mix for a minimum of 3 minutes until homogenous.
c. Apply to substrate using a quality brush or short nap roller ensuring thorough
penetration in the substrate to a Wet Film Thickness (WFT) of 80µ which corresponds
to a Dry Film Thickness of 100µ. The WFT shall be controlled by a WFT gauge.
d. Allow to dry for about 15 hours. Specific times/temperature mentioned in relevant
product information sheet. Any uneven areas or undulations

Note: All required technical information is available within the relevant Product
Information Sheet.
