Resene Broadwall 3 In 1 - Surfacer, Sealer, Finish Coat – Interior - Waterborne

Resene Broadwall 3 in 1 is designed for use over stopped and jointed wall systems in place of traditional surfacers and sealers. It equalises surface porosities; smoothes minor surface irregularities; minimises textural differences; and provides a perfect base for subsequent Resene finishes. A key element to achieving a level 5 finish on paperfaced plasterboard.

Suitable for use as a surfacer, sealer and finish coat on ceilings in dry areas.

Application/Purpose

Typical uses:
• Air-dry (polymer based) stoppings and finishing compounds
• Gypsum based stoppings and finishing compounds
• Paperfaced plasterboard
• Timber, reconstituted timber products

Application:
Best results are achieved with airless spray using a unit capable of achieving a flow rate of no less than 3 litres per minute such as a Graco Ultra 795 Mark II. A 527 tip is recommended for application to small areas while a 1227 tip is recommended for application to larger areas (tip sizes are minimum required for application). The use of 60 mesh gun and in line filters is recommended with a 3/8 hose from the spray unit. Power leads for unit operation must not exceed 20 metres. See Resene Data Sheet D810 and product label for full details.

Limitations:
1. Not designed to fill large gaps or cracks (use an appropriate stopping or finishing compound).
2. Not designed to block waterborne stains.
3. Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C or when it is liable to drop below 10°C during the drying period.
4. Resene Broadwall 3 in 1 is designed to be overcoated on broadwall areas.
5. Not recommended for exterior use.
6. Must be sealed in wet areas before topcoating.

Benefits/Advantages

• Good adhesion to stoppings and finishing compounds.
• Provides an excellent base for a wide range of Resene coatings.
• Excellent sanding properties.
• Replaces surfacer and sealer coats in dry areas.
• May be tinted to light colours for use as a finish coat on ceilings in dry areas.
• Easy application with excellent open time.
• An Environmental Choice approved product.

Unwanted paint and paint containers can be returned to the Resene PaintWise paint and paint packaging recovery programme. Returns are donated to community groups, sent to solvent recovery, packaging is recycled and other paint goes into covering graffiti and research on alternative uses. See link to Resene PaintWise..

Green Star NZ points are weighted by the environmental significance of the category they are in. Each point contributes to the total overall score of the project but are not absolute. For further understanding of the Green Star rating tools, Greenbuild strongly recommends that users attend an 'Introduction to Green Star' seminar. More information is available at the New Zealand Green Building Council website.
Greenbuild has reviewed this product and confirms its potential contribution to points under the following credit categories:
IEQ-13	Up to three points are awarded where it is demonstrated that various finishes meet the benchmarks for low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content. One point is awarded for each criterion below that is achieved: • 95% of all painted surfaces are low-VOC paints OR no paint is used; • All carpets are low-VOC OR no carpet is installed; and/or • All adhesives and sealants are low-VOC OR no adhesives/sealants are used.
Mat-10	One point is awarded where it can be demonstrated that 90% or more of the paints used are independently certified as having lower environmental impact than standard paints, as verified through a materials certification body recognised by the NZGBC (e.g. NZ Environmental Choice).
