REMAL Standard highly breathable wall paint, 13+2 kg

REMAL Standard is a classic natural water-soluble kaolin wall paint. It provides excellent coverage, is breathable, abrasion resistant, and has a standard whiteness of 82%. REMAL wall paint is used for painting plaster, concrete, drywall, cetris boards, chipboard, and renovation plasters in interiors. The paint shows 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 in interiors on plasters, drywall, and other substrates. It is easy to process, health-safe, and environmentally friendly.

Procedure for REMAL wall 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 eliminate dust from the surface, strengthen it, unify the absorbency, and ensure adherence of the coating. The drying time is 4 hours. Smooth out any irregularities in the wall with REMAL Putty. Dilute the paint in a ratio of a maximum of 0.4 liters of water to 1 kg of paint. Then mix thoroughly.

Apply with a brush, roller, or spraying in 2 layers, apply the next 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 the environment must not drop below 5 °C during application. For cohesive areas, use a product from the same batch, mix different batches together before use.

Handling REMAL wall paint:

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

The product is treated with a biocide. Contains 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine, 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one, reactive mixture: 5-chloro-2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one [ES number 247-500-7] and 2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one [ES number 220-239-6] (3:1), octhilinone (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 the accelerated method for determining resistance to wet abrasion and establishing the washability of paint. Regarding the cleanability of coatings, it only sets the testing method itself but does not specify contaminants. After drying and conditioning, the coated sample is weighed and subjected to cleaning cycles in a wet test abrasion (cleaning) device. From the loss of weight, the mean value of the 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 film for the prescribed time. The painted, contaminated samples are then subjected to cleaning cycles. It is evaluated whether the contaminant was 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 like in school.
