Crown transeal multi purpose PVA clear

Transeal can be applied to unpainted concrete, brick, stone etc, to produce an attractive, eggshell or semi-gloss clear finish which will be more dust-resistant and more easily cleaned than the bare substrate. Transeal can also be applied over matt emulsion paint to produce a semi-gloss finish or over wallpapers to render them more washable. This versatile product can also be mixed with PVA emulsion paint to increase the sheen level of the finish.

Characteristics: A unique formulation based on a special PVA Co-polymer emulsion which has a white opaque appearance in the container, but produces a clear film after application.

Advantages: Transfers a matt finish into an eggshell or semi-gloss, washable surface. Enhances the features of the substrate. Seals porous surfaces prior to the application of wax polish. Easy to apply and economical. Water thinnable.

Finish: Eggshell or semi-gloss. The sheen level can be varied by the amount of water added, increased thinning will reduce the sheen level.

Application: By brush, roller or spray. When coating porous surfaces such as brick, stone, quarry tiles etc, application by brush is recommended to improve penetration and adhesion.

Thinning: Transeal should be thinned with clean water to ease brushing consistency. Considerable thinning will be required when coating porous surfaces. Stir well before use.

Drying times: Transeal dries extremely quickly, especially when applied to porous surfaces and can be recoated in 3-4 hours.

Spreading capacity: 12-16 m²/l when applied to a smooth, non-porous surface Spreading capacity will be considerably reduced when coating unsealed, porous and textured surfaces.

Equipment cleaner: Water.

Colour range: Clear

SPECIFICATIONS:

Brick, stone, concrete, quarry tiles etc: Prepare surface (refer data sheet (sp 3). Apply by brush 1 coat of Transeal, thinned with clean water to brushing viscosity. If necessary apply a 2^nd coat after 3-4 hours in dry conditions.

Stone, concrete, quarry tile floors should be immediately protected with several applications of wax polish.

Matt emulsion and textured painted surfaces: Ensure the surfaces are thoroughly clean and apply by brush, roller or spray, 1 or 2 coats of Transeal. To ease brushing on textured surfaces, thin with clean water. When mixing Transeal with PVA emulsion paint, thorough dispersion is necessary to obtain a uniform sheen level.

IMPORTANT

Do not apply any type of varnish on timber floors if:

1. the timber is known to have been fixed with a bitumen-based adhesive which could react with the solvent in the varnish and/or
2. the timber or floor structure is damp or is known to have a history of rising damp due to faulty structure, absence of damp-proof course or for any other reason.

In these circumstances, sealing of the floor with a single or two-pack varnish could cause the complete floor to lift.
