VETROLIQUIDO PRP


SINGLE-COMPONENT LIQUID GLASS

FAQ - SDS


1. Description

VetroLiquido PRPis a single-component, transparent, satin-finish and matte synthetic paint based on synthetic polymers and modified natural polymers, designed to protect the final decorative layer of Microcem-FB, Cemento 3D, MarmUra, Etna, Terra Veneziana, Ardhea, Hiridium, and ArchiMetal. It forms a virtually neutral film that provides long-lasting protection for coatings inside swimming pools, tubs, fountains, furniture, doors, areas with high levels of condensation, floors, and wall coverings.

2. Fields of application

VetroLiquido PRP is the ideal solution for the long-term protection of continuous, vertical and horizontal, internal and external surfaces.

3. Features

The technology used to produce VetroLiquido PRP gives it the following physical and chemical properties:

Good resistance to acidic and basic solutions;

Resists high temperatures;

Resists temperature changes;

Resists chlorine and marine environments;

Resists ultraviolet rays and ozone;

Good resistance to atmospheric agents

Good resistance to environments with high condensation;

Reduces the growth of mold and algae;

Resists chlorinated, ozonated, and salt water.

Resistant to abrasion and corrosion, it protects against graffiti;

Substantially reduces bacterial growth, improving hygiene;

Makes treated surfaces hydrophobic and oleophobic;

Reduces the adhesion of dirt and pollutants, making cleaning easier and dustproof.

4. Preparation of the supports

Substrates must be dry, solid, and free of dust, paint, wax, oil, loose particles, and seasoned surfaces.

We recommend contacting our technical support team to ensure a perfect base before starting work.

5. Application

VetroLiquido PRP is ready to use and does not require dilution.

Mix the product thoroughly before use.

Apply a first coat of VetroLiquido PRP using a short-haired (mohair) roller over approximately 1/2 m², then immediately smooth the product with a stainless steel trowel to eliminate any bubbles.

Let the product dry for 12 hours (+20°C).

Apply a second coat of VetroLiquido PRP as described for the first.

Let the product dry for 48 hours (+20°C).

7. Warnings, use and limitations

Important Notes:

Avoid application on surfaces excessively heated by the sun, on frozen substrates, or where there is a risk of frost or rain during drying.

Apply when relative humidity is below 65% and at least 4 degrees above the dew point.

Overcoating times are significantly affected by the thickness applied, temperature, and ventilation during drying; variations in these parameters could extend drying times.

If drying times are not respected, the applied product may wrinkle, crack, form streaks, halos, change color, or lift.

Swimming pool use:

Maintain optimal pool water characteristics even during periods of non-use.

Water pH between 6.5 and 7.5;

Free active chlorine between 0.7 and 1.5 ppm;

Temperature between 18°C ​​and 30°C;

Avoid direct contact of concentrated chemicals (pH adjusters, disinfectants, etc.) with the coating.

Chlorine-based chemical shock treatments may reduce the coating's lifespan and compromise its aesthetics.

Recommended application temperatures are between +10°C and +30°C for both the substrate and the surrounding environment.

Limitations of use:

The worst damage is often caused by a lack of professionalism: the limitations are therefore one's own knowledge.

A feasibility study of the substrates, the environment, the products, and site safety must be the primary considerations for the applicator in every application.

It is advisable to draw up a site report with the client, highlighting any pre-existing defects in the work or, for example, difficulties in reaching certain areas.

Other limitations, technical ones, are based on the humidity and temperature of the environment and the substrate, as already mentioned.

Experience with this technology has not yet revealed any application limitations to be noted. Please note that these systems do not adhere to plastics and PVC sheeting.

For proper drying, we recommend applying a thickness of up to 40 µm per coat. Filling of swimming pools, basins, fountains, etc., must occur after the finish has fully hardened, at least 15 days after application of the final coat at +20°C and 65% RH; at lower temperatures, the application time should be extended.
