Vetotop AC441

All surfaces should be dry and free from contamination, traces of mold-release oils, and curing compounds. This is best achieved by lightly grit-blasting the surface. Where moss, algae, or similar growths have occurred, treatment with a proprietary biocide should be carried out after the grit-blasting process. 

Where required to apply over existing sound coatings, conduct trials to ensure compatibility and retention of the bond between the underlying and substrate layer. It is essential to produce an unbroken coating of Vetotop AC441. Fill surfaces that contain blow-holes or pitting areas using Vetorep CR523, a cementitious fairing coat. Level rougher substrates by using a cementitious product from Saveto Concrete Repair Range. 

Firstly, apply Vetoprime AP443 in one or more coats until achieving the recommended application rate of 0.7 m2/liter/ coat @50 microns thickness. This is best accomplished by using portable spray equipment. Conduct a uniform surface appearance (sheen). 

Allow the primer to dry for a minimum of two hours (at 20°C) before overcoated with Vetotop AC441. 

To obtain the Vetotop AC441 system’s protective properties, the correct rates of application and overcoating times must be observed. 

Apply Vetotop AC441 in two coats. The first coat can be thinned with clean water depending on the substrate. The recoat time for the second coat is two hours. If necessary, apply a third coat to achieve a hiding power. 

No gaps or ‘raw edges’ must appear in the finished coating. Take special care to provide an unbroken layer at the external corners and similarly exposed protrusions. 

Vetotop AC441 may be applied by the use of suitable brushes, rollers, or airless spray equipment. 

Remove Vetotop AC441 from tools and equipment with clean water immediately after use.
