Hvilke emner og overfladetyper kan produktet anvendes på

POUR-ON:

Kan anvendes til liggebadekar siddebadekar, vaske, brusebunde og i teorien alle andre emner i støbejern, stål, tidligere malede overflader, hård plastik og glasfiber.

OBS. produktet skal kunne løbe ned over hele emnet, dvs. at feks. vaske med indadgående runding, kan pour-on IKKE anvendes.

ROLL-ON:

Kan anvendes til fliser og kakler, liggebadekar, siddebadekar, vaske, brusebunde og i teorien alle andre emner i støbejern, stål, tidligere malede overflader, hård plastik og glasfiber.

OBS: Det anbefales ikke at behandle overfladen, hvis emnet ikke er solidt og kan bøje. Hvis feks et akryl/plast badekars vægge er tynde, eller bunden i en håndvask kan bøjes med håndtryk, anbefaler vi ikke at behandle karret med hårdhærdende produkter, da der er risiko for løsrivelse og revner, hvis emnet er bevægeligt.

EKOPEL 2K Bathtub coating is a dense material which can be applied to the bathtub’s surface in one layer. Average usage of paint is 3,4 kg per bath. Due to the thickness of the layer, the coating is perfectly smooth. EKOPEL 2K Tile&Bath Enamel is a low viscosity material, which can be applied by a roller or a brush in thin layer. Usually, two layers of paint are necessary. It can be used to paint a bathtub, and also ceramic tiles.

Remove all items from the bathroom (towels, bathrobes, personal care products) into a closet and vacuum thoroughly the walls, ceiling, shelves and other places where the dust could be. This will help to avoid dust getting into the coating. Close the window so that insects would not fall on the coating as well. Prevent animals from entering into bathroom during work and after, while the material is getting dry. Maintain the temperature in the bathroom no less then + 22ºС for one day before the work, at the time of the work, and within 2 days after applying the material.

Hvordan skal emnet klargøres før påføring af EKOPEL?

Limescale must be removed. To do so, a cleaner from the kit can be used. If the cleaner does not completely remove the limescale, the remains should be cleaned by using sandpaper.

Rust must be removed. Use sandpaper and cleaner from the kit.

Silicone must be removed completely. If the material is applied on a surface where silicone is not removed, the material may peel off.

If your bathtub was covered with paint it is necessary to remove the old paint. Paint which peels off from bathtub should be removed in order for the new layer to have a good adhesion and does not peel off in the future. To remove the old paint heat it then take off old paint by spatula.
