REMAL Standard Highly Breathable Wall Paint, 6.5+1 kg

REMAL Standard is a classic natural water-dilutable kaolin paint for walls. It excellently covers, is breathable, abrasion resistant, and has a standard whiteness of 82%. The REMAL wall paint is used for painting plaster, concrete, drywall, cetris boards, particleboard, 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 indoors on plasters, drywall, and other substrates. It is easy to process, health-safe, and environmentally friendly.

Working procedure for REMAL paint:

Before painting, remove layers of old and non-adhering coatings. Treat absorbent substrates with REMAL universal primer, non-cohesive and crumbling substrates with REMAL deep primer. This will remove dust, strengthen the surface, unify absorbency, and ensure adhesion of the coating. Drying time is 4 hours. Smooth out unevenness on the wall with REMAL filler. 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 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 between 15 and 25 °C. The temperature of the substrate and environment must not fall below 5 °C during application. For large areas, use product from the same batch; mix different batches together before use.

Handling REMAL wall paint:

Follow basic hygiene rules when working. The product is not intended for coatings that come into direct contact with foodstuffs, animal feeds, drinking water, or for painting children’s toys and furniture. Keep out of reach of children. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention.

The product is treated with a biocide. Contains 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)hexahydro-1,3,5-triazin, 1,2-benzoisothiazol-3(2H)-one, reactive mixture: 5-chloro-2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one [EC number 247-500-7] and 2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one [EC number 220-239-6] (3:1), octhilinone (ISO).

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

This international standard ISO EN 11998 describes a rapid method for determining resistance to wet abrasion and assessing washability of paint. Regarding the cleanability of coatings, it only establishes the testing method but does not specify the contaminating substances. After drying and conditioning, the painted sample is weighed and subjected to cleaning cycles in a testing abrasion (cleaning) device. The loss of weight is used to calculate the average loss of film thickness. For cleanability determination, the contaminating substances are applied to similarly prepared samples. The specified contaminants are left in contact with the paint film for the prescribed time. Painted, contaminated samples are then subjected to cleaning cycles. It is evaluated whether the contaminant was removed and if 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.
