High performance crack-accommodating elastomeric acrylic protective and decorative coating for concrete and masonry
Vetotop AC440 comprises a single component penetrating primer and a single component elastomeric pigmented coating, both ready for immediate site use.
Vetotop AC440 is an elastomeric, water based protective coating based on a special acrylic polymer. It provides excellent elongation and recovery, low dirt pick-up, resistance to aggressive elements, UV light and rain. It is available in a wide range of colours.
Vetotop AC440 is supplied in 20 Kg Bucket with consumption of: 0.22 kg/m2/ Coat
Vetoprime AP443 is suplied in 5 Liter Can with consumption of : 0.4 Liter/m2
Stated consumptions data are for general guidance. Actual consumption depends on the nature of substrate, method of application and wastage.
Original sealed buckets of Vetotop AC440 and Vetoprime AP443 has a shelf life of 12 months provided it is stored clear of ground in a dry and shaded place below 35ºC.
Design Citeria
The coating should be applied in two coats to achieve a total dry film thickness of not less than 180 microns. To achieve the correct protective properties, Vetotop AC440 system must be applied on to the substrate at the coverage rates recommended.
Application
In order to obtain the protective properties of the Vetotop AC440 , it is important that the correct rates of application and over-coating times are observed.
Application should not commence if the temperature of the substrate is below 5°C.
Any areas of glass should be masked. Plants, grass, joint sealants, asphalt and bitumen-painted areas should be protected during application.
Vetoprime AP443 should be applied in one or more coats until the recommended application rate of 0.4 liter per square meter has been achieved. This is best accomplished by using portable spray equipment. If in doubt about the condition of the substrate, Saveto Technical Center should be consulted.
Allow the primer to dry for a minimum of 8 hours (at 20°C), longer at lower temperatures. Under no circumstances should the primer be overcoated with Vetotop AC440 until the surface is properly dry.
Vetotop AC440 may be applied by the use of suitable brushes or rollers. Queries relating to spray application should be referred to Saveto Technical Department prior to the commencement of work.
All primed substrates should be treated with two coats of Vetotop AC440. The material should be stirred thoroughly before use. The first coat should be applied to all areas by the use of suitable brushes or rollers to achieve a uniform coating with a wet film thickness not less than 400 microns. This coat should be allowed to dry before continuing.
The second coat of Vetotop AC440 should be applied exactly as detailed above.
Under poor drying conditions at low temperatures it may be more practical to apply three thinner coats (270 microns wet film thickness each) of Vetotop AC440 to achieve better ‘through-drying’. This method will achieve the correct recommended dry film thickness.
Cleaning
Vetorep CR523 and Vetotop AC440 should be removed from tools and equipment with clean water immediately after use. Vetoprime AP443 a should be removed from tools and equipment using Vetonit Solvent XX400.
All surfaces should be dry and free from contamination such as oil, grease, loose particles, decayed matter, moss, algal growth, laitance, and all traces of mould 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 application over existing sound coatings is required, trials should be conducted to ensure compatibility and retention of the bond between the underlying coating and the substrate.
It is essential to produce an unbroken coating of Vetotop AC440. To ensure this is achieved, surfaces containing blow- holes or similar areas of pitting should first be filled using Vetorep CR523, a cementitious fairing coat. Vetorep CR523 should be allowed to cure for approximately 48 hours dependent on ambient conditions before the application of Vetotop AC440.
Vetorep CR523 contains cement powders which, when mixed or become damp, release alkalis which can be harmful to the skin. During use, avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, eye protection and respiratory protective equipment. The use of barrier creams provide additional skin protection.
In case of contact with skin, rinse with plenty of clean water, then cleanse with soap and water.
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately - do not induce vomiting.
Vetoprime AP443, and Vetonit Solvent XX400 should not come in contact with the skin and eyes, or be swallowed. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid inhalation of vapours.
Some people are sensitive to resins, hardeners and solvents. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection. If working in confined areas, suitable respiratory protective equipment must be used. The use of barrier creams provide additional skin protection. In case of contact with skin, rinse with plenty of clean water, then cleanse with soap and water. Do not use solvent. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. If swallowed, seek medical attention immediately - do not induce vomiting.
Vetorep CR523 is non-flammable. Vetoprime AP443, and Vetonit Solvent XX400 are flammable. Keep away from sources of ignition. No smoking. In the event of fire, extinguish with CO2 or foam. Do not use a water jet.
