Product Description

Resene Broadwall Surface Prep & Seal is a high build basecoat designed for roller application over stopped and jointed wall systems. It equalises surface porosities; smoothes minor surface irregularities; minimises textural differences; seals the surface and provides a perfect base for subsequent Resene finishes. Is a key element to achieving a level 5 finish on paperfaced plasterboard.

Technical and Environmental Benefits

Resene Broadwall Surface Prep & Seal has been certified by Environmental Choice NZ as well as independently reviewed by EnviroSpec for its points contribution potential in Green Star NZ and Homestar building rating systems.

Unwanted paint and paint containers can be returned to the Resene PaintWise paint and paint packaging recovery programme. Returns are donated to community groups, sent to solvent recovery, packaging is recycled and other paint goes into covering graffiti and research on alternative uses. Additional benefits include:

• Good adhesion to MDF, Pine, stoppings and finishing compounds.
• High build surfacer, which does not require sealing prior to application of Resene waterborne finishes.
• Sandable.
• Surface reinstatement after stripping wallpaper.
• Upgrade level of finish of existing painted walls.
• An Environmental Choice approved product.

Manufacturer and Supplier Information - Resene Paints Ltd

Resene started its quest towards more sustainable practices in the 1950s when it introduced waterborne paint. In 1996 Resene became the first New Zealand paint company to offer an extensive range of Environmental Choice approved products, Resene has since continued innovating in this space. In 2007 Resene Zylone Sheen VOC Free was introduced, and more recently Non VOC tinters have been introduced. The Cool Colours range provides exterior paints formulated to reflect solar radiation that would normally be absorbed. This is claimed to reduce substrate stress, improve paint longevity, and can help reduce heat absorption through building fabric which in turn could mean less air conditioning requirements. Resene also operates the PaintWise recycling programme, which includes a world-first" mobile paint collection and recovery

Application and Purpose

Typical uses
• Air dry (polymer based) stoppings and finishing compounds
• Gypsum based stoppings and finishing compounds
• MDF
• Paperfaced plasterboard
• Pine

Application:
• Apply using a PAL Hi Solids sleeve or brush (touch up or cutting in).
• Apply at the recommended spreading rate and lay off top to bottom overlapping a minimum of 50% minimum to give a uniform finish.
• Allow to dry before sanding (zinc stearate 180-220 grit). Ease of sanding will decrease as Resene Broadwall Surface Prep & Seal approaches full cure. Remove sanding dust residues by a thorough wipe with a damp sponge.

Limitations
1. Not designed to fill large gaps or cracks (use an appropriate stopping or finishing compound).
2. Not designed to block stains.
3. Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C or when it is liable to drop below 10°C during the drying period.
4. Resene Broadwall Surface Prep & Seal is designed to be overcoated with Resene waterborne finishes.
5. Not recommended for exterior use.

Installation and Maintenance

Resene products are guaranteed to provide film integrity and adhesion for the expected life of the paint system. Maintenance: Avoid cleaning the paint finish until at least four weeks after application time to ensure it has had sufficient time to fully develop its properties. Keep any cleaning to a minimum to avoid damaging the paint film. Follow the care and cleaning instructions in the Resene Caring for your paint finish brochure.
