Application Notes

• All coating work to be carried out in accordance with the relevant sections of BS6150:2019, Painting of Buildings - Code of Practice
• Ensure appropriate PPE is used at all stages during preparation and application
• It is essential to produce an unbroken coating of Dekguard S
• To ensure this is achieved, surfaces containing blowholes or similar areas of pitting should first be filled using Renderoc FC, a cementitious fairing coat. Depending on the thickness required, rougher substrates can be levelled using Renderoc ST05, a protective cementitious coating, or Renderoc RP252 cementitious reprofiling and protection mortar
• Dekguard S should not be applied over elastomeric coatings
• All prepared substrates and existing coatings should be primed with a dilution of Dekguard S as follows:
  • Using suitable volumetric containers, add 2 parts Dekguard S and 1 part Fosroc Solvent 102 by volume into a clean bucket
  • Mix with a paint stirrer until a uniform thin consistency is obtained

Please see the Product Data Sheet for detailed information.

Limitations

• Application of Dekguard S (or the diluted primer coat) should not proceed if the air or substrate temperature is 2°C and falling (at a steady 2°C, or 2°C and rising, application may commence)
• Dekguard S should not be applied at less than 3°C above the dew point or >85% RH, or where exposure to dust, rain or frost is likely within the drying time
• The manufacture of Dekguard coatings is a batch process and despite close manufacturing tolerances variation may occur between batches. Fosroc recommends using material from one batch only as the finish topcoat
• Dekguard S and Fosroc Solvent 102 are flammable
• In the event of fire, extinguish with CO2 or foam. Do not use a water jet
• IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use any other solvent (e.g. white spirit, turps) to dilute Dekguard S. Do not add water to Dekguard S
