REMAL Standard highly breathable wall paint, 13+2 kg

REMAL Standard is a classic natural water-dilutable kaolin wall paint. It has excellent coverage, is breathable, abrasion-resistant, and has a standard whiteness of 82%. The REMAL wall paint is used for painting plasters, concrete, drywall, fiber cement boards, particle boards, and renovation plasters in interiors. The paint demonstrates resistance to wet abrasion – measured according to ČSN EN ISO 11998 – class 5. (classification according to EN 13300).

It is recommended for coatings in utility and industrial spaces. It is used for painting walls and ceilings indoors on plasters, drywalls, and other substrates. It is easy to work with, health-safe, and environmentally friendly.

Procedure for applying REMAL paint:

Before painting, remove layers of old and non-adhering coatings. Treat absorbent substrates with REMAL universal primer, and treat non-adhering and crumbling substrates with REMAL deep primer. This will remove dust from the surface, strengthen it, unify absorbency, and ensure adhesion of the coat. The drying time is 4 hours. Even out irregularities on the wall with the REMAL Filler. Dilute the paint at a ratio of max. 0.4 l of water per 1 kg of paint. Then stir thoroughly.

Apply with a brush, roller, or spray in 2 coats, applying the next coat after the previous one has dried, at least after 4 h. The optimal temperature for painting is 15 to 25 °C. The temperature of the substrate and the environment must not drop below 5 °C during application. For large areas, use product from the same batch, mix different batches before use.

Handling REMAL wall paint:

When working, observe basic hygiene rules. The product is not intended for coatings that come into direct contact with food, animal feed, drinking water, or for coating children's toys and furniture. Keep out of reach of children. If you feel unwell, seek medical help.

The product is treated with a biocide. It contains 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)hexahydro-1,3,5-triazin, 1,2-benzoisothiazol-3(2H)-on, reactive mixture: 5-chlor-2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-on [ES number 247-500-7] and 2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-on [ES number 220-239-6] (3:1), okthilino (ISO). May cause allergic reactions.

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 assessing the washability of paint. As for the cleanability of coatings, it only stipulates the testing method itself but does not specify contaminating substances. After drying and conditioning, the painted sample is weighed and subjected to wet cleaning cycles in a test abrasion (cleaning) device. From the weight loss, the average loss of coat thickness is calculated. To determine cleanability, contaminating substances are applied to similarly prepared samples. Specified contaminating substances are kept in contact with the paint film for the prescribed period. Painted, contaminated samples are then subjected to cleaning cycles. It is evaluated whether the contaminating substance has been removed and whether the coating is resistant to wet abrasion.

For assessment, 5 classes are used - class 1 is the best – class 5 is the worst. Grading is similar to school grading.
