Floetrol®. Paint conditioner for emulsion and acrylic paints. Prevents overlaps, streaks and shadowing. When used with an airless sprayer, pressure can be reduced by up to 20%, resulting in significant savings. PROPERTIES Additive for emulsion paints: acrylic and latex paints, thick coatings, medium coatings and decorative paints. Ensures excellent flow and easy application. Slows drying time and reduces brush marks or 'orange peel' in some paints. Extends open time, providing greater ease of use. Ideal for special decorative effects. Prevents lap marks and wrinkles, especially in dry, hot or windy weather. Ensures better spray painting: Smoother application. Up to 20% less pressure required. Reduces overspray and ensures an even spray pattern. Reduces paint build-up in the sprayer. Lubricates the nozzles and prevents wear. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS FLOETROL is a balanced acrylic binder that gives emulsion paints and opaque stains the properties of an oil-based paint. Emulsion paints to which FLOETROL has been added have a longer open time, better workability and reduce the risk of visible lap marks. APPLICATION Prepare the substrate according to the paint manufacturer's instructions. Test the paint to which FLOETROL has been added on a small area. If the paint dries too quickly, is viscous or forms streaks, add more FLOETROL until the paint spreads easily. Brush or roller: add 7 to 15% per litre of paint. Air or compressed air sprayer: add 5 to 10% per litre of paint until the desired consistency is achieved. If the paint becomes too thick, add one spoonful of water per litre of paint. Airless sprayer: add 10% per litre of paint. Decorative effects: add 20 to 25% per litre of paint. Do not use FLOETROL in alkyd paints (solvent-based). Do not use in transparent acrylic varnish. Always perform a test first: the mixture must be thoroughly homogeneous.
