Metallium Effect
Metallium Effect is a water-based decorative metal coating material featuring microzined pure metal powder suspended in a special binders.
FEATURES
- The display of different color tones depends on the properties of the metal powder it contains.
- Its distinctive resin composition serves to deter the growth of bacteria and fungi.
- Application and the intended effect are attained through the use of a steel trowel.
- The product can be meticulously sanded for a flawless finish.
- Its metallic attributes bring about a considerable level of luminosity and a reflective, mirror-like surface.
- Metalium Effect is composed of two components, A and B, in addition to assorted metal powders.
SURFACE PREPARATION
- Prior to application, ensure that all surface contaminants, such as dirt, oil, peeling paint, and dust, are removed.
- Correct any surface imperfections using San Deco Acrylic Putty Interior.
- For surfaces with existing paint or those intended for painting, it is recommended to apply a coat of San Deco Uniprimer as an undercoat.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine the A and B components in an empty container and stir for 3 minutes. Gradually add the metal dust while stirring.
- Utilize a hand mixer for thorough stirring until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.
- After completing the stirring process, apply the product within 30 to 60 minutes.
- Use a steel trowel for application to achieve the desired effect.
- Once the product has set and dried at room temperature (typically around 24-48 hours), proceed with sanding.
The sanding process involves a total of 8 different sandpaper sizes, progressing from coarse to fine, in 3 stages.
- Stage 1: Sandpaper sizes used include 220, 320, and 400.
- Stage 2: Sandpaper sizes used include 500 and 800.
- Stage 3 (final polishing stage): Sandpaper sizes used include 1500, 3000, and 6000.
- Remove any dust remaining on the surface between each sanding stage with a dry cloth. Once the desired level of polishing is achieved, clean the surface with a dry cloth.
- For enhanced brightness and surface reflection, Metallium Effect Wax can be applied after the polishing process is completed.
- As the metal powders used are natural, any minor variations in powder color do not result in noticeable tone differences in the final product.
- Ensure that the application environment maintains a temperature between +5°C to +35°C for 24 hours during and after the application process.
DRYING TIME
Allow 24 hours for the surface to become touch-dry and 48 hours for complete drying to occur under environmental conditions of 20°C – 25°C.
THEORETICAL CONSUMPTION
Depending on the surface’s smoothness, porosity, and the chosen application method, the consumption of coating materials (comprising both A and B components and metal powder) for 1 kg of product can be estimated as follows:
- Coverage: 0.500 – 0.670 m².
- Paint consumption per 1 m² area: 1500 – 2000 grams (gr).
- Consumption of Metallic Effect wax: 50-60 grams per 1 m².
