Uni-Trowel-Decor is a trowel applied and later surface affected high build, heavy duty applied finish for exterior and interior protection and rugged beauty.

 

Description:
Uni-Trowel-Decor is an acrylic bound textured coating designed to be trowelled to give smooth, fine textures up to rough coarse raked finishes.  After initial application the surface is worked to give various patterns of exceptional beauty and strength.

 

Grades:
Uni-Trowel-Decor is available in fine and coarse grades (2mm, 1 mm, O.Smm, 155 grade, Unisand), in a practically unlimited range of full colour to pastel shades.
Coverage:   Coverage varies with surface effect required. e.g. 155 grade finish covers approximately 7 to 8 square metres per 15 litre pa i 1.

 

Purpose:
One coat for full weather protection.  Uni-Trowel-Decor protects and decorates interior and exterior walls and ceilings, balustrades, beams, columns and infill panels as well as entrances and lobbies.  Uni-Trowel-Decor is suitable for use over plaster, brick, cement blocks, fibre cement sheets, aerated concrete and cement render.

 

Reason for Uni-Trowel-Decor:
Uni-Trowel-Decor allows for a smoother heavy duty finish ideal for heavy traffic areas.  The 'flatness' of the surface prevents scuffing and is able to withstand hard knocks.  Such properties make Uni-Trowel-Decor perfectly suited to stairwells and exposed wall areas.

A one coat application offers the architect and builder a long life heavy duty coating, which adds a bold appearance to large lifeless structures.

 

Performance:
Uni-Trowel-Decor exhibits excellent durability and colour retention under all climatic conditions.  A minimum protective and decorative service life of 10 years depending on coating thickness is provided.

 

Colour Retention:
Uni-Trowel-Decor is pigmented throughout the film thickness with natural earth colours or light fast pigments. The coating containing these pigments exhibits excellent colour retention and durability.

 

Composition:
Quality graded sands and aggregates together with non absorbent extenders held together by an acrylic emulsion giving a strong, tightly bound product with exceptional adhesion to good and difficult substrates.  Due to the strong binding power of the acrylic a high impact resistant coating results.

 

Biological Resistance:
Resistance to attack from bacteria and fungi is provided. This product being a water based acrylic system offers safe handling and toxicity properties.

 

Fire Resistance:
The coating when subjected to the Early Fire Hazard Tests - Australian Standard AS 1530 Part 3, 1976 meets the strictest standards.

 

Water Resistance:
The coating even at exceptionally high build is formulated with a water vapour permeability factor to allow water vapour from the substrate to leave unhindered, but the coating film forms a barrier to external moisture. The coating is impervious to rain and moisture.

 

Application Details:
Substrate Preparation: To ensure full performance is achieved; surface preparation must be carried out to the maker's recommendations. Any crumbling, loose or damaged surface must be removed or patched and repaired prior to application. Ensure all surfaces are free of grease, oils, dirt and dust.

Prepainted surfaces must have flaking paint wire brushed back to a sound substrate.

Application: Uni-Trowel-Decor is trowel applied and later 'raked' to produce a one coat high build product over stable external and internal surfaces. The protective coating is touch dry within 4 hours under standard conditions of 250C at 50% relative humidity, and is serviceable under normal conditions within 24 hours.

Application should not be carried out under excessively cold conditions (below SOC) or in hot windy conditions (above 350).

 

Supply:
Uni-Trowel-Decor is supplied inl 5 litres pails, where larger volumes are required 200 litre drums of Uni-Trowel-Decor are available for delivery to building sites.  The product must be protected from heat and cold during transit and storage.
