ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products but we cannot guarantee that the colour shown on Customer’s monitor’s display will accurately reflect the colour of the Product on delivery. We recommend that Customer first purchases the smallest Product available or access an industry standard colour chart in person (and not digitally) to ensure that the colour is acceptable for its purposes.

Spreading Rate

These will vary depending on substrate, the site conditions and longevity required.

Typically spreading rates will vary depending on the end use.

Porous/Friable Substrates:

e.g. Felted surfaces, Fibrous, Cement, Concrete, Weathered Asphalt and Bituminous Surfaces, Fibreglass and GRP:

Minimum primer 0.2 - 0.33 lt (equivalent to 3-5 m² /lt)

OSB/Plywood and 0.2 - 0.33 lt wooden substrates (must be taped and fully scrimmed):

Minimum primer 0.2 - 0.33 lt (equivalent to 3-5 m² /lt)

After priming a check must be made for the presence of pinholes and missed areas which can be rectified by applying additional coating as necessary to produce a sound substrate prior to overcoating.

Spreading rates may vary depending on type and condition of substrate, environment and so on. These examples are intended only as a guide.

Drying Times

Britannia Durashield FD Primer will be dry under normal conditions in 2-4 hrs depending on humidity and temperature and can be overcoated when dry.

Preparation

Ensure the substrate is free from old plant and debris.
Cut all brick chases if required.
The outlets and gutters must be free from obstruction.

Cleaning of Substrate:

Clean the surface with a powerwash of up to 2,000 psi, depending on the substrate.
If needed clean the area with Britannia Fungicidal Wash. This eliminates all moss/algae. The wash must be applied and left on the substrate for 7 days, then washed off prior to the application.
The substrate must be dried off using squeegees/rags. Gas guns should not be used.
Once the substrate is clean and dry you can then begin the application.

Repairs to Substrate:

Including splits, cracks, joints, seals and crazed areas

Repair faults in the surface by using a high quality waterproof mastic/filler.
Apply Durashield FD Primer followed by Durashield Waterproofing System to repaired areas incorporating Britannia Reinforcing Scrim overlapping by 5cm.

Note: Please see the Technical Data Sheet for the full priming guide for all applicable substrates.

Application

Do not thin.
Stir well before use as separation could occur.
Please follow the coverage rates shown in Spreading Rate Section.
To the dry and cleaned surface, apply a generous coat of Britannia Durashield FD Primer by brush or roller at the specified spreading rate as stated under the heading.
The substrate and ambient temperature for the application of the system must be between 2°C and 35°C.
DO NOT APPLY to frozen or damp surfaces.
DO NOT APPLY in hot direct sunlight or coating may skin.
Work away from the area immediately being applied and toward a suitable escape access.
Do not walk on newly coated surface whilst application is in progress.

Cleaning

For cleaning equipment use White Spirit.

Shelf Life & Storage

Up to 2 years if stored correctly in an unopened container.

Precautions

Flammable keep away from sources of ignition.
Ensure good ventilation during application.
Over occupied premises during insulation of coatings we would advise keeping windows closed.
Wear gloves, goggles and suitable protective clothing.
In case of contact with eyes rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
Remove splashes from the skin with a recognised hand cleaner or plenty of soap and water.
Keep out of reach of children.
