PW 2805_Texture Coarse WOMC

Ritver Texture Coarse (WOMC) is very tough coating based on special acrylate copolymer latex, pigmented with titanium dioxide and other alkali resistant pigments with good light fastness and also good water resistance. It forms a good aggregate with a selected range of mineral quartz and other texture inducing combinations of rock. Its formulation incorporates fungicides and algaecides, and its build ensures outstanding weather resistance.

Substrates: Concrete, plaster, masonry, gypsum, block work and timber.
Area of Use: Interiors & exterior with a textured finish.

A good surface preparation and following the method statement / recommended system procedure of Ritver is an ideal recommendation for the application of Ritver Texture Coarse (WOMC).

For Plaster, Masonry & Concrete:
Achieve a good and clean surface by removing all contaminants by cleaning & drying. A laitance free surface should be achieved by good sweep blast or a wire brush. Before applying the Ritver Texture Coarse (WOMC) apply one coat of Ritver Alkali Resistant Primer or Ritver All Weather Tex Primer and allow drying. Apply one good coat coats with a heavy roller and spread the same evenly to the desired texture.

For Old and Painted surfaces:
In case of surfaces which are painted / or aged and if there is visible dusting, chalking or even friable, ensure that all the loose material is removed by scrapping or metal brush. If the situation is critical it is recommended to do torching of the same and apply a good coat of Ritver Fungicidal wash compound and allow drying. Follow this by a regular coat or two of Ritver alkali resistant primer and continue as in the above case with the full system.

For Wood & Timber:
Achieve a good and clean surface by removing all contaminants by cleaning & drying treatment with Ritver Wood Preservative is advisable. Start off with a good coat of Ritver Wood Primer and allow to dry well and continue as in the above case with the full system.

Exclusions for successful application include perpetually wet surfaces and also large cavities on wood, concrete surfaces.

Adequate ventilation is an ideal situation as it helps in drying and the good application itself. Avoid high humid conditions i.e., >95% when condensation is likely to interfere and also when the surface temperature is at least 3°C above dew point. One can add 5 to 10% of sweet water for ease of application depending on the suitability of application. Application is done with appropriate roller to give the desired texture.

Caution:
a. Over diluting would result in a flat and wrong texture.
b. In case of hot climatic conditions were the substrate could be very hot it is necessary that adequate cooling is done after the primer is applied and before the application of  the texture with good amounts of cold water.

Under dry and cool condition, storage stability can be sound up to 12 months in original sealed containers.
