THERMOPLASTIC WHITE GLOSS (W+C)

Ritver Thermoplastic Wh ite Gloss is a high performance thermoplastic, water repellent coating based on solvent based acrylic polymer. It is a pigmented composition and is specially formulated product and is resistant to carbon-dioxide diffusion and to chloride and sulphate intrusion, and is thus an ideal ANTI-CARBONATION coating. This is particularly suitable as a finish coat in many of the common construction aspects where life expectancy can be increased.

Substrates: Concrete, plaster, masonry, gypsum, timber and metals.
Area of Use: Interiors & Exteriors.

A good surface preparation and following the method statement / recommended system procedure of Ritver is an ideal recommendation for the application of Ritver Thermoplastic Glossy White.
For Concrete, Plaster, Masonry, Brickwork, Blockwork:
Ensure surface is clean, dry and free from all contaminants. Surface must be sound and free from laitance. Remove laitance by wire brush or sweep blast. Apply one coat of Ritver All Weather Tex Primer. Allow drying, followed by Ritver Texotile Acrylic Spray Compound or allow to dry and apply one to two coats of Ritver Thermoplastic Wh ite Gloss.

recommendation for the Ritver Texotile system.
For metals: A good coat of Ritver Thermoplastic Wh ite Glo ss can be applied as a topcoat for metals for protection.
For Pre-painted Surfaces:
If the surface is previously painted and is dusting, chalking or friable, ensure that all friable and loose material are removed by a stiff bristled brush and scraping. Thoroughly dust down the entire surface. Treat fungal growth, if any, with Ritver Fungicidal solution and allow drying. Apply one coat of Ritver Penetrating Sealer and allow drying, and then apply one to two coats of Ritver Thermoplastic Glossy White.
Exclusions for successful application include perpetually wet surfaces and also large cavities on wood, metal or 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.
Application: To be done by conventional roller or spray at 2000 – 2500 psi for airless spray or 50 – 60 psi for conventional spray. Nozzle size: 0.015 – 0.018 inches.
One can add 5 – 10% of Ritver Acrylic Thinner for ease of application of brush/roller/or spray viscosity.
