- Some Application Examples
As a primer on well cured new or old renders as long as they are not damaged, before applying a colored finishing coat of Elastocolor, Quarzolite or Colorite range product.; As a primer over old paint, even if slightly chalky, before applying Elastocolor, Quarzolite or Colorite colored finishing coat.; As a primer on surfaces that need to be treated in enclosed or poorly ventilated environments because Malech is odorless, before applying a product from Elastocolor, Quarzolite or Colorite ranges.
- Technical Characteristics
Malech is a micronized acrylic resin based primer in water dispersion that, once applied on the surface, penetrates better than traditional water based primers. Malech is odorless and solvent free, therefore can be applied in close or poorly ventilated environments. Because of Malech's formulation, it ensures the consolidation of chalk present on surfaces that need to be treated. Thanks to Malech's deep penetration into the surface, it slows down the formation of efflorescence.
