Application/Purpose

Typical uses:

Application:

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. Ensure the correct primers and/or sealers are used.
3. Due to waxes used in particle and fibreboard it is essential that Resene Quick Dry Acrylic Primer Undercoat (see Resene Data Sheet D45) is used as the first coat.


Benefits/Advantages

• Available in a wide range of colours or can be colour matched to your requirements
• May be used wherever solventborne enamels have traditionally been used.
• Non-yellowing.
• Resene Lustacryl may be applied over Resene Quick Dry Acrylic Primer Undercoat (see Resene Data Sheet D45) or directly over sound, clean old enamel surfaces.
• Clean, spatter free application.
• 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.
