SIGMATEX
water borne thixotropic decorative wall paint based on latex emulsion
is unsaponiable and therefore suitable for painting alkaline surfaces
to be used as decorative quick drying nish on walls and ceilings in
accommodation, cabins, passage ways etc. and for plastered pipelines
resistant to wet scrubbing, easy to clean
eliminates porosity of substrates and is water vapour permeable
no bleeding when applied over bituminous surfaces
low odour during application
very good hiding power
must not be used at air/substrate temperature below 5C

to be applied in a one or two coat system, gypsum, gypsum board,
hardboard, chip board, plastered walls and normal insulation materials
the temperature of the substrate must be at least 5C
to be applied in two coats
stir well before use
the temperature of the paint should preferably be above 15C, otherwise
extra thinner may be required to obtain application viscosity
too much solvent results in reduced sag resistance
