REMAL Standard Highly Breathable Wall Paint, 36+4 kg

REMAL Standard is a classic natural water-based 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, cement boards, particle board, 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 plaster, drywall, and other substrates. It is easy to process, health-safe, and environmentally friendly.

Application 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-cohesive and crumbling substrates with REMAL deep primer. This will remove dust, strengthen the surface, unify absorbency, and ensure adherence of the coating. Drying time is 4 hours. Even out any wall irregularities with REMAL Putty. Dilute the paint at a maximum ratio of 0.4 l of water to 1 kg of paint. Then mix thoroughly.

Apply with a brush, roller, or by spraying in 2 layers, applying 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 substrate and environment temperature must not drop below 5 °C during application. For uniform areas, use a product from the same batch, mix different batches together before use.

Handling REMAL wall paint:

When working, follow basic hygiene rules. The product is not intended for surfaces that come into direct contact with food, animal feed, drinking water, or for painting 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. 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), okthilinone (ISO). May cause allergic reaction.

You may need

covering materials, such as paper adhesive tape or covering foil, and possibly sanding papers. Don't forget brushes, rollers, spatulas, and scrapers.

The washability of the paint is practically addressed by the standard RESISTANCE TO WET ABRASION ČSN EN ISO 11998

This international standard ISO EN 11998 describes an accelerated method for determining resistance to wet abrasion and establishing the washability of the paint. Regarding the cleanability of coatings, it only defines the test method itself but does not specify the contaminants. After drying and conditioning, the coated sample is weighed and subjected to wet cleaning cycles in a test abrasion (cleaning) device. The loss of weight is used to calculate the average thickness loss of the coating. To determine cleanability, specified contaminants are applied to equally prepared samples. Specified contaminants are left in contact with the coating film for a prescribed period. The coated, 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 like in school.
