Description
Bedec Interior Flex is an elastomeric matt emulsion paint formulated to coat interior ceilings and walls. Bedec Interior Flex is a unique product designed to bridge hairline cracks and flex with the substrate where movement causes cracking with conventional matt emulsion. This product boasts excellent coverage, low odour, easy application and quick-drying properties.
Preparation
Make sure any surface to be painted is clean, dry and free any possible contaminants such as dirt or grease. Remove any loose paint, as well as any mould and fungal growths. Lightly abrade any smooth glossy surfaces to provide a key. Thin with approximately 30-40% fresh clean water for any untreated render, plaster, brickwork or any porous substrate .
Where there is a risk of staining (Extractive discolouration) the manufacturer recommends treatment with BEDEC Stain block.
Repair cracks as follows:
1. Large cracks – Cut out and fill with a flexible interior filler.
2. Hair line cracks – Apply Interior-Flex into the cracks and feather out to give a smooth edge. You may require one or two additional coats to complete bridging.
After the cracks have been treated apply one or two coats of Interior-Flex over the complete area.
Application
Apply by brush, roller, conventional H.V.L.P or airless spray. Make sure to stir well and always check colour before use. We recommend using a test area first whenever possible. Do not apply at air or surface temperatures below 10°C. On sealed surfaces apply one to two coats, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly. Do not over spread.
Coverage
The manufacturer estimates the coverage rate, when applied by a brush or roller, to be approximately 9-11 square metres per litre per coat. The coverage will depend upon the texture and porosity of the substrate. Spraying will considerably reduce the coverage rate depending on the type of spray equipment used. Check the technical data sheet attached or the Bedec product page for further details.
Drying Time
Drying time is subject to conditions. The manufacturer estimates that the painted surface will be dry after 2-4 hours, and recoatable after 4 hours. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
