Tradex

Excellent Application Properties

Taubmans Tradex range of quality water based wall paints are ideal for quick application in circumstances where coverage and cost are a priority. Taubmans Tradex has the advantage of little roller spatter, and also has high opacity, ideal to use for hiding imperfections.

The Taubmans Tradex range glides on with brush or roller, dries in 30 minutes and painting equipment washes out in water. After seven days the paint surface may be gently washed with soap and water. With Tradex paints, it is recommended to not use abrasive cleaners and avoid rubbing.

Handy Hint #3

How to Apply

Surface Preparation Ensure surfaces to be painted are clean, dry and free of contamination. Walls should be wiped down with a mild detergent and rinsed clean with fresh water, even if they don't appear to be dirty, to ensure removal of any surface contamination and ensure the paint has a clean surface to adhere to.
New Work Seal new or bare plaster with Taubmans Prep Right Plaster Sealer. Seal bare wallboards or Gyprock with Taubmans Ultraprep or Taubmans 3 in 1.
Repaint Remove all loose or flaking paint, wash all areas thoroughly to remove any surface contamination. Treat surfaces affected by mould with chlorine bleach diluted one part bleach to four parts water. Rinse clean with fresh water. Spot repair any bare areas such as filled holes as per directions for new work.
Coats Apply two liberal coats by brush, roller or spray. Do not overspread. Keep brushes and rollers working freely by rinsing occasionally in clean water.
Clean Up Water wash up, away from drains.
Coverage Up to 16m²/litre, depending on nature of surface. Coverage will be lower on rough or absorbent surfaces.
Recoat Recoat after 2 hours at 25°C and 50% relative humidity.
Stirring Stir paint with a 25mm wide flat stirrer in a circular lifting motion for at least 5 minutes before use. It is always recommended to stir paint before use to ensure that the colour tints are dispersed evenly throughout the paint.
Temperature Do not use at temperatures below 10°C, above 35°C or when humidity is excessive.
