• Suitable for brush methods of application and optimize rheology for high film build in one coat.
• “Breathability” for preventing moisture build up in walls & roofs (MICROPOROUS)
•   Can be applied on slightly damp surfaces too.

Typical Application

SUNSHIELD is mainly designed for :

• Exterior R.C.C surface or masonry walls or facades.
• Asbestos sheets, Sloping roofs, farm sheds.
• Water storage tanks of metal, plastic, cement etc.
• Warehouses, Godowns, cold-storages.

Direction for use
Adequate surface preparation as given below is necessary for product performance.


Surface Preparation

New Masonry
SUNSHIELD Solar Reflective Coating should not be applied to concrete and to other surfaces less than seven days old. Ideally concrete should be allowed to cure for 28 days before application. Power wash to ensure no under bound sand or cement remains on the surface. Allow the surface to dry and apply SUNSHIELD Solar
Reflective Coating.


Existing Masonry
Power wash to remove all loosely adhered coatings, dirt, mild dew and other contaminants. Apply Biowash to the surfaces affected by algae and fungi followed
by a jet of water after half an hour (Refer literature of Choksey's BIOWASH). Fill
any existing cracks upto 3mm with PAINTEX [Acrylic Latex Caulk] paintable sealant
and more than 3 mm with Polysulphide Sealant.


Plastic Surface
Clean the surface with water and allow it to dry. Scuff with fine emery paper 320.
Clean with water once again. Apply SUNSHIELD.


Metal Surface
Scuff with fine emery paper 320. Clean the dust with dry cloth then apply SUNSHIELD.


Application of SUNSHIELD
SUNSHIELD Solar Reflective Coating can be applied only by brush. The material is to be diluted with specified percentage water. Dampen the surface slightly with water. Apply first coat at the spread rate of 4.0-4.5 m2/litre. Allow it to dry for minimum 6 hours (preferably 24 hours) before application of second coat. Apply second coat of SUNSHIELD Solar Reflective Coating at the spread rate of 4.5 - 5.0 m2/litre after thinning it with specified percentage of water.


Precaution

• The substrate should be free from CHALKING.
• All dust, grease and loose paints, powdery particles, fungus and algae
  need to be completely removed from the walls.
• Apply BIOWASH on the walls to remove remaining traces of fungal/algae and allow it to stand for 1 hour.
• Clean the walls after 1 hour with water jet to remove the Biowash applied and
  wait for one hour.
• Fill the existing cracks more than 3mm in size with suitable sealant of
  CHOKSEY CHEMICALS PRIVATE LIMITED for better product performance / compatibility.
• Do not over-extend the brush.
• For better results clean the coated surface with water periodically.
