macs FLUOROSIL Classic

DESCRIPTION: Fluorosil Classic is a water-based impregnation based on new C6 water-repellent and oil-retardant technologies, with modified fluorinated compounds specifically designed to form anti-adherent and transpirable graffiti protection. Fluorosil Classic is deposited in the capillaries of the pores in the mineral base and, thanks to its water-repellent and oil-retardant qualities, protects from deterioration and the penetration of rainwater, dirt, grime and pollution, while preventing the effective adherence of graffiti. Fluorosil Classic anti-graffiti impregnation is certified by RAL Deutches Institut and by BAST Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen. Fluorosil is highly transpirable (Value SD = 0.02), transparent, matt, barely altering the visual appearance of the base. It is resistant to ultraviolet rays and is considered a permanent protection for wash-resistant surfaces such as concrete (up to approx. 10 washes with pressurised hot water). Graffiti can be eliminated from surfaces protected with macs Fluorosil Classic by repeated washes with pressurised hot water, or may alternatively be eliminated using macs Liquid or Coco-paste.

MAIN USE: Fluorosil Classic provides ideal colourless, water-repellent and oil-retardant and anti-graffiti protection for absorbent mineral bases, mainly on façades. Specifically recommended for use with concrete and other hard, absorbent mineral surfaces such as exposed brickwork, clinker etc. on bridges, façades, buildings, etc., providing protection against graffiti and environmental dirt and grime in general. Fluorosil Classic can be applied, although with some limitations, to low-consistency absorbent mineral bases, such as brownstone or limestone, although in these cases, as a result of their low resistance to water under pressure, the effect of the product may not be permanent, unless the base has previously been consolidated in mineral terms.

HOW TO APPLY: Carefully protect all surfaces that are not to be treated from splashing. Fluorosil Classic is ready for use and must not be diluted. Before opening shake thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous liquid. Following suitable preparation of the surface and on dry surfaces, Fluorosil Classic can be applied with an Airless spray gun with a nozzle between 0.012 and 0.30 inches, at an angle of between 20° and 40º, and at 80 bar; or using a short-pile roller (gloss paint roller), criss-crossing the surface, by brush or by spray, immediately spreading the product with a roller to avoid runs or drips. Fluorosil Classic must always be applied working from the bottom up to avoid running and the leaving of marks. The first coat must be applied abundantly, although without letting the product run. The second coat must then be applied while the first is still slightly wet. These two coats are to be applied relatively quickly, one after the other, working wet on wet. The time between coats will be determined by the absorption capacity of the surface and its temperature and, as a result, may vary greatly, between 10 minutes and 1 to 2 hours. FK-111 mixed with water, at a ratio of 1:10 is recommended for cleaning the utensils employed, subsequently rinsing them with clean water. In case of doubts please consult our technical consultancy service. For more information consult the specifications sheet and/or application guidelines, along with the safety sheet. Surface treatment is possible at temperatures between 5° and 25°C. Surfaces must be protected from rain for 5 hours following treatment.

AVERAGE YIELD: macs Fluorosil Classic provides an average yield of 2-6 litre/m², with approximate consumption of between 150 ml/m² - 500 ml/m², depending on the absorption of the base.
