System Description:
Acrylic-textured coating. The coating is applied as a two-step system, exhibiting rapid drying characteristics. It creates a durable, mold and mildew-resistant finish used in orange peel, splatter, splatter knockdown textures and hand textures. The product is colorfast and does not support combustion. It is a water based product, low VOC.
|
| |
|
Recommended Uses:
|
|
ACRYLITEX is suited for use on interior wall and ceiling surfaces.
Recommended substrates include new gypsum wallboard properly finished to Gypsum Association Level 3 or higher. It does not behave as a vapor retarder.
|
| |
Limitations and Excluded Uses: |
ACRYLITEX is not suitable for exterior applications. Acrylitex is not suitable for application over non-porous substrates. Acrylitex should not be applied over substrates having moisture content exceeding 18%. Cool, damp conditions retard drying and may require extended periods of protection. Final appearance is affected by applications technique, surface conditions, drying conditions and lighting.

Manufacturer's Warranty: |
| |
Manufacturer warrants the finished surface under normal conditions of exposure and wear when the materials are applied according to manufacturer’s instructions. The warranty period is five years commencing with date of substantial completion. |

Finish:
|
Texture dependent on application technique. Options include orange peel, splatter, splatter knockdown textures and hand textures.
|
Sheen:
|
Dries to a low luster finish.

Coverage:
|
Approximate nominal coverage is 200-225 square feet per gallon as a Base/Top coat at 7-8 wet mils. Finish coat coverage will vary according to type of texture desired:
Light orange peel: 160 sq ft / gallon at 10 wet mils
Medium orange peel: 150-160 sq ft / gallon at 10-12 wet mils
Medium knockdown: 150-160 sq ft / gallon at 10-12 wet mils
Heavy knockdown: 100-120 sq feet / gallon at 14-16 wet mils
Hand Texture: 140-200 square feet / gallon. Mil rate depends on type of texture.
Note: For lighter colors, you may need to use additional Basecoat for optimum hide.

4 .INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
|
Storage and Protection:
|
Store materials in a dry area. Protect materials from direct sunlight. Store materials at a temperature between 40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and 120 degrees F (49 degrees C). Do not freeze. Product will not recover.
|
Environmental Requirements:
|
Do not apply product to substrates having a moisture content exceeding 18%. Apply product when ambient temperature is between 50 degrees F (10 degrees C) and 90 degrees F (32 degrees C), in a relative humidity range of 20% to 80%. Maintain required temperature 48 hours prior to application through completion of structure.
|
Surface Preparation:
|
Mask all adjacent areas not specifically intended to receive coating system application.
Product is recommended for application to new substrates only.
Preparation for All Surfaces:
1. Surfaces must be clean, dry, sound and properly cured.
2. Surfaces must be free of sanding dust, dirt, oil, grease, or other contaminants.
3. Surfaces must be free of chalking, blistering, peeling, cracking and delamination.
Additional Preparation for Gypsum Wallboard Surfaces:
1. Finish new gypsum wallboard in compliance with Gypsum Association Finish Level 3 or higher.
2. Product is recommended for new gypsum substrates. Where drywall is not new, apply drywall primer. Allow primer to completely dry before wall finish application.
3. Do not apply hot mud unless cured for 7 days and coated with a vinyl joint compound, then primed with Kilz.

Installation:
|
For Base/Top Coat: Commercial grade sprayer equivalent to output of 1/2 gallon per minute or higher, 3300 psig.
For Texture Coat: Texture Sprayer. Kodiak New Generation M2 set up for Acrylitex is recommended. This is a specially designed texture sprayer that combines variable speed control and high pressure.
Accessories: Pole guns and sprayer tip size will vary with preference and type of texture.
For Hand Texture: Hawk, trowel, pan and knife for hand textures.
Allow Base/Topcoat to completely dry before application of texture coat. Drying time will vary dependent on air temperature, ventilation and relative humidity.
Apply wall finish material at the following nominal coverage rates and wet mil thickness:
Base/Topcoat – 200-225 sq. ft per gallon applied at 7-8 wet mils (0.007 to 0.008 inch).
Finish Coat - Light orange peel texture: 160 sq. ft. per gallon applied at 10 wet mils (0.0010 inch).
Finish Coat - Medium orange peel texture: 150-160 sq. ft. per gallon applied at 10-12 wet mils (0.0010 to 0.012 inch).
Finish Coat - Medium knockdown texture: 150-160 sq. ft. per gallon applied at 10-12 wet mils (0.012 to 0.014 inch).
Finish Coat - Heavy knockdown texture: 100-120 sq. ft. per gallon applied at 14-16 wet mils (0.014 to 0.016 inch).
Finish Coat – Hand Texture: 140-200 sq. ft. per gallon. Mil rate depends upon style of texture.
|
Maintenance:
|
Protect applied wall finish material from damage due to subsequent construction activity. Allow at least 7 -10 days (depending on humidity levels) curing after application of wall and ceiling finish before masking surfaces to which it was applied. Wash as needed with a mild cleaning solution or soap and water. Do not scrub until at least 7 days after application.
|
| |
Extra Materials: |
Provide additional material for use by owner in building maintenance and repair. Deliver extra touch-up materials to owner in original packaging with appropriate labeling. Provide ½ gallon from the same batch number for every 5,000 square feet applied on the project.
