BIO WALL PAINT HD INTERIOR -BIO WALL
PAINT PIGMENTS
DESCRIPTION:
A matt interior paint based on natural and non toxic ingredients,
which compliment the original formulas. The paint has a pleasant smell and is
available in a range of harmonious colours. For use on interior surfaces such
as plasterboard, solid plaster, concrete and mud brick.
It is not recommended for use on timber or on timber products such
as medium density fibreboard, masonite or particleboard. Bio Wall Paint
breathes, while conventional wall paints seal off the walls, which can promote
mould growth. Bio Wall Paint HD (Heavy Duty) has been tested by the Department
of Defence according to the Australian Standard AS 1580 for scrub-resistant and
dry hiding power.
It is therefore well suited for schools, restaurants, offices and
public buildings with heavy traffic areas. Suitable for use in wet areas. Bio
Wall Paint has no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and does not contribute to
smog and pollution. It contains no lead, glycol derivates, aromatic
hydrocarbons or styrene compounds.
PREPARATION:
Prepare the surface in accordance with AS 2311 - Painting of
Buildings. The surface to be painted should be smooth, dry and cleaned of
greasy and dirty contaminants. Remove stains and/or seal off with a weak
solution of shellac: 200-250 grams Shellac per 1 Litre methylated spirit.
Old lime and kalsomine paint must be removed. Oil based and
acrylic paint surfaces - semigloss or gloss - should be sanded with sandpaper.
A test strip is recommended on already painted surfaces if compatibility is in
doubt.
PRIMING:
Highly absorbent, new and crumbly surfaces must be primed with
BIO Wall Primer. Alkaline surfaces must be primed first with a special
conventional sealer to prevent saponification of the paint. Plasterboard
jointing cement should be left for 48 hours before painting.
APPLICATION:
Stir thoroughly before use with a broad flat stirrer. May be
brushed, rolled or sprayed. Apply one thick coat or two thin coats (thinned
with water 5%-15% to obtain a smooth flowing consistency). New Gyprock surfaces
need two or three coats initially. Airless spraying requires 200 bar/pressure
with a nozzle of 0.28 mm Titan -adjustable- or 0.53 mm with a fan angel of 50
degrees.
TECHNICAL DATA:
- Volume solids: 41 %
- Spreading rate: 8 - 10sqm per Litre

BIO ENAMEL LACQUER AND UNDERCOAT
DESCRIPTION:
Bio Enamel Lacquer is a thick, dirt-repellent and water-repellent,
gloss or satin painted finish, containing no toxic solvents, resins or heavy
metals. Suitable for all wood types, steel, aluminium and copper. Especially
suitable for use on toys, panelling, skirtings and architraves, garage doors
and window frames. Bio Enamel Lacquer satin is suitable for interior use only.
Bio Enamel Lacquer Gloss is suitable for interior and exterior use.
PREPARATION:
Prepare the surface in accordance Australian Standard 2311
Painting of Buildings. Surfaces should be well-sanded, dry and cleaned of
greasy, waxy and dirty contaminants using BIO Thinner. Hardwoods and other
timbers rich in natural oils, waxes, acids and terpenes should be degreased
using Bio Thinner because these substances may mix with the paint and prolong
its drying time. Timber moisture content must be under 15% for softwood, and
under 12% for hardwood.
METAL PRIMING:
Provides anti-corrosive protection for steel, aluminium, brass
and copper. Not effective on zinc and galvanised surfaces. The metal should be
cleaned of all grease, dirt, processing soil, salt residues, weldscale, rust
and other residue which is likely to affect the performance of a protective
coating. Apply 2 coats of Metal Primer thinly and evenly. Lightly sand between
coats when completely dry. Finish with Bio Enamel Lacquer, white or
coloured.
APPLICATION:
Stir thoroughly before use with a broad flat stirrer. Thin as
desired with 5-10% BIO Thinner to obtain a smooth flowing consistency. Apply
one coat of Undercoat and two coats of top coat. Minimum dry film thickness is
100 microns.
DRYING:
Apply second and subsequent coats only after previous coat has
thoroughly dried. This will take between 24 and 40 hours, and longer with cold
or damp weather. Do not be tempted to apply paint too thickly, as this retards
the drying process. Lightly sand if necessary after the undercoat. Do not use
below +10C and above 80% humidity or in cold damp conditions, or when
condensation, rain, dew or frost are likely to occur. Provide adequate
ventilation during application and drying. Reaches maximum durability after

SPECIAL NOTES FOR VARNISHING OF FLOORS
1. A thin coat is better than a thicker, soft coat. 2. Subject
to suitable humidity levels, products should be applied as early as practicable
after 10 a.m. to allow sufficient daytime drying. 3. Make sure the
previous coat has completely dried before applying the next coat. Drying time
varies considerably with temperature and moisture levels.
Check as follows: a) Must be dry. b) Press your thumb
onto the floor. If soft, do not re-coat. c) Press your hand for 5 minutes
on the floor. If tacky, do not re-coat.
4. The drying time of oil based products is prolonged by:
a) High humidity and/or low temperature during application and
drying time. b) Absorption of natural terpenes, oils, waxes or resins from
the substrate, especially in exotic and eucalyptus timbers. c) Bad
ventilation and darkness. d) Thick coats.

BIO PRIMING OIL
DESCRIPTION:
A penetrating oil for priming all absorbent interior surfaces,
especially new wood, cork and unglazed stone tiles. Very suitable as a
preliminary treatment under waxed, varnished or oiled finishes. For oiled
finish see Bio Natural Wood Oil or Bio Teak Oil.
PREPARATION:
All surface to be primed should be well sanded, dry and cleaned
of greasy, waxy and dirty contaminants using BIO Thinner. Hardwoods and other
timbers rich in natural oils, waxes, acids and terpenes should be degreased
using Bio Thinner because these substances may mix with the Priming Oil and
prolong its drying time. Old coatings must be removed.
APPLICATION:
Can be brushed, rolled or sprayed. Do not apply more oil than the
surface can absorb. Remove excess oil with a dry lint free cloth after approx.
15-3o minutes. Test the absorbency of the surface before application: for very
absorbent timber, work in small areas otherwise the oil might dry before you
are able to wipe off the excess, causing an uneven patchy finish. Do not use
below 10 C and/or above 80% humidity, or when condensation, rain, dew or frost
are likely to occur. Provide adequate ventilation during application and
drying.
DRYING:
Can be sanded after 24 hours, after which time treatment can
continue. However, the oil takes up to 96 hours to dry completely.

streaks. Polish after 3-5 hours.- do not leave until completely dry as buffing

50% of BIO Thinner. Depending on wear and tear, apply a new thin coat of wax
every 4 to 6 months. Provide adequate ventilation during application and
drying.
MAINTENANCE:

treated with undiluted self-polishing BIO Timber Care Polish. Apply thinly and
