Application/Purpose

Typical uses:
• Aluminium

• Concrete and plaster
• Fibre cement
• Galvanised steel roofing and cladding
• Particleboard
• Plywood
• Repaints

Application:
Resene Hi-Glo may be applied by brush, speed brush, synthetic fibre roller or spray. See Resene Data Sheet D31 and product label for full details.

Limitations:
1. Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C or when it is liable to drop below 10°C during the drying period.
2. Not normally used on opening sashes and doors - use Resene Enamacryl (see Resene Data Sheet D309)
3. Disconnect roof downpipes until after the first shower of rain in order to flush away surplus non-toxic wetting agents before the surface is used for the collection of drinking water.
4. Light colours are recommended for UPVC surfaces as dark shades will cause warping.
5. Not suitable for roof areas where water ponding occurs.
6. Spraying micaceous iron oxide colours will require an expert.

Benefits/Advantages

• Available in a wide range of colours or can be colour matched to your requirements
• Excellent intercoat adhesion.
• Excellent adhesion to Resene primers.
• Outstanding flexibility on timber and steel.
• Acid and alkali resistant - inhibits mould growth.
• An Environmental Choice approved product.

Cool colours reflect more heat than standard colours, reducing stress on the paint, substrate and building, reducing heat transference inside and minimizing the need for air conditioning.

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.
