Example application procedure for paint for drywall:

Prepare the drywall with REMAL universal primer or diluted paint for drywall in the ratio of 1 part paint to 1-2 parts water. This will remove dust from the surface, unify absorbency, and ensure adhesion. Drying time is 4 hours.

For filling holes, cracks, and uneven surfaces, use REMAL Filler. In larger cracks, it is necessary to remove loose material, and for filling them, you can use UNIFLEX acrylic sealant for drywall; after it has dried, use REMAL Filler to level. Once dried and sanded, the substrate is easier to cover with paint.

Dilute REMAL Forte paint for drywall in the ratio of max. 0.1 l water to 1 kg of paint. Then mix thoroughly. Apply with a brush, roller, or spray in 1-2 layers; apply another layer after the previous one has dried, at least after 4 hours. The optimal temperature for painting is 15 to 25 °C. The temperature of the substrate and environment must not drop below 5 °C during application. Use a product from one batch for coherent surfaces, mix different batches together before use.

Washability of the paint in practice is addressed by the standard WET ABRASION RESISTANCE ČSN EN ISO 11998

This international standard ISO EN 11998 describes an accelerated method for determining resistance to wet abrasion and washability of paint. Regarding the cleanability of coatings, it specifies only the testing method but does not specify the contaminants. After drying and conditioning, the painted sample is weighed and subjected to cleaning cycles in a testing abrasion (cleaning) device. From the loss of weight, the average loss of coating thickness is calculated. To determine cleanability, contaminants are applied to equally prepared samples. Specified contaminants are left in contact with the coating for the prescribed time. Painted, contaminated samples are then subjected to cleaning cycles. It is evaluated whether the contaminant has been removed and the coating is resistant to wet abrasion.

For evaluation, 5 classes are used - class 1 is the best – class 5 is the worst. Grading is like in school.

How often to paint?

Generally, it is recommended to paint approximately every 4 to 5 years. However, if you have small children or pets in the family, for hygiene and aesthetic reasons, it is advisable to repaint approximately every 2 years.
