Application

Stir thoroughly before starting the application process, then intermittently, avoiding aeration. Apply by brush or recommended roller (black texture) in coats of approximately 500 microns thick (0.5mm) until desired thickness is achieved. It is important that the product’s texture is maintained with each coat. Applied too thickly can caused unsatisfactory results. Spread onto surface as evenly as possible. Apply following coats as soon as possible and best within 48 hours.

By Spray

Mask off areas not intended to be coated. If required, Rocktuff may be diluted by adding up to 10% (max.) with Duram Solvent and thoroughly mix slowly. Spray via a panel beater type gun at approx. 80 psi (5.5 bar) or airless spray with 30 thou to 32 thou tip at 1000 to 2000 psi (pressure should be as low as practical). Remove all filters. Spray in overlapping movements in coats of approx. 500 microns thick. It is important that the product’s texture is maintained with each coat. Apply following coats at right angles to preceding cured coats as soon as possible and best within 48 hours. To achieve best results, masking tape, if used, should be removed after each coat when still wet. After spraying, immediately clean equipment with Duram Solvent.

Wear, Tear & Repair of Rocktuff

Although Rocktuff is tough and durable the nature of the applications renders it subject to wear & damage. It is important that the coating be monitored for wear and tear and that appropriate maintenance should be carried out to retain the products optimum performance. This is easy to carry out as follows: To apply a maintenance or rejuvenation coat, clean surface, wire brush, wipe with Duram Solvent or Rocktuff Prep Solvent, allow solvent to evaporate and apply the new coat/s of Rocktuff.

• Remove any damaged or loose areas.
• Clean and roughen surface as well as surrounding Rocktuff.
• Treat exposed areas as per preparation instructions.
• Apply new Rocktuff to area including 20 mm onto the existing sound Rocktuff coating.
