Preparation

For use with Barrettine Peelaway 1 only.

Plaster Substrates:

• Saturation of plaster with water can lead to surface deterioration
• Ensure plaster is thoroughly dry and any residue has been removed with a soft, dry brush before neutralising
• Apply Peelaway Neutraliser by lightly spraying, leave for 24 hours, then gently brush away any visible salts
• Do not scrub or rinse
• Allow surface to dry for 24-48 hours before testing pH and repeat neutralisation only if necessary
• Use of an alkali-resistant primer is recommended in preference to repeat applications of Peelaway Neutraliser on plaster

Calcareous Substrates:

• Care should be taken when neutralising, as excessive Peelaway Neutraliser may damage the surface
• Test pH first and only neutralise if necessary for re-coating

Ferrous Metals:

• Unless very porous, it is not necessary to neutralise ferrous metals
• Peelaway Neutraliser may generate slight surface rust which can be gently removed using a wire brush or steel wool

Application

Dilution:

• For plaster or calcareous surfaces, dilute 1 part Peelaway Neutraliser to 4 parts water
• For all other surfaces, dilute 1 part Peelaway Neutraliser with 1 part water
• Coverage of diluted product is approximately 5m² per litre

Application:

• Pour diluted Neutraliser into a pressure sprayer or for smaller areas a handheld trigger sprayer
• Ensure all Peelaway 1 residue has been removed before starting the neutralisation process
• Start at the top and spray the entire surface until saturated
• Application by spray only to avoid contamination, but sturdy substrates can be scrubbed afterwards to increase effectiveness

Removal:

• Leave the Peelaway Neutraliser until touch dry or for a minimum of 6 hours
• It is preferable to rinse Neutraliser where possible to remove neutralised salts
• Use a steady spray of clean water, taking care not to use excess pressure

pH Testing:

• Once the surface is fully dry, moisten an area with water and apply a small strip of pH paper
• Note the colour change and compare with the pH charts on the inside of the cover
• Repeat in multiple locations
• For any surface above pH 8, repeat the neutralisation process
• The testing is most accurate after a minimum of 24 hours post neutralisation

Health, Safety and Environmental Information

• Causes serious eye irritation
• Keep out of reach of children
• Wash hands thoroughly after handling
• Wear eye protection, face protection, protective clothing, protective gloves
• IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing
