Technical Qualities
DUAFLEX by OIKOS is a special, flexible finish coat, good for covering uneven surfaces, giving a matt rough effect suitable for both exterior and interior surfaces. The fillers used, with a selected grain size (0,3 or 0,7 mm), enable the product to cover uneven surfaces making it possible to even out small imperfections and irregularities. DUAFLEX is composed of acryl-siloxanic resins, silanised, acrylic and elastomeric resins in water dispersion that make it extremely flexible with excellent adhesion even on difficult surfaces (tiles, stone, smooth cement). For surfaces in good conditions there is no need to apply base coats: with two coats of DUAFLEX it is possible to decorate the entire facade thus saving time and money. DUAFLEX is water repellent, light resistant, resistant to the elements and pollutants as well as preventing the formation of mould and algae. The flexibility of the product remains stable over time, even if exposed to U.V light, or to frost-thaw cycles. DUAFLEX has been EC labelled for Systems for the protection of concrete surfaces as per EN 1504-2:2005 as much as it ensures protection against carbonation to surfaces made of reinforced concrete. It is recommended for use in the renovation of historical centres, villas, residential developments and industrial premises and in general for the protection and restoration of all wall surfaces and thermal insulation systems when it is necessary to even the surface or renovated plaster work, thus guaranteeing very good adhesion and protection against carbonation. The product has low odour in non inflammable and is friendly to humans and the environment. Compliant with CAM (Minimum Environmental Criteria), III level certification. EPD. Product certified in class “A+” under emissions classifications (Decree of the Official French Gazzette dated 19th April 2011).
Ideal Use
Exterior and Interior walls.
Surface Preparation
Remove any deposits of dust, smog or other similar elements by brushing or washing. Remove any loose or flaking materials. Only in case of powdering, badly adhering, detaching surfaces apply a coat of the special sealer NEOKRYLL by OIKOS. Wait 4-6 hours until dry. On walls in good conditions there is no need for primers or sealers. For shades belonging to the Design colour collection or with reduced covering capability it is necessary to follow the instructions given in the Exterior colour fan.
Application Method
DUAFLEX 03: apply 2 coats of product diluted 10% with drinkable water waiting 4-6 hours between coats. The product can be applied by brush, crossing the brush strokes, or by roller for exterior use, paying attention to evenly distribute the product over the surface. Avoid leaving roller marks. DUAFLEX 07: apply 2 coats of product with an interval of 4-6 hours. The recommended application is by brush diluting the product 10% with drinkable water, crossing the brush strokes. The application by roller for exterior use is possible but attention shall be paid to evenly distribute the product over the surface avoiding to leave roller marks on it. Dilute the product 10% with drinkable water for the first coat, and 20% for the second one. We do recommend that you make a preliminary test before proceeding with this method of application. CLOUD EFFECT: it is possible to accomplish a cloudy decorative effect by applying a first coat of DUAFLEX 07 diluted 20% with drinkable water and then, 4-6 hours later, a second coat of DUAFLEX 03 diluted 10% with drinkable water. The application of both coats shall be made by brush, crossing the brush strokes.
Finishes and Protection
In order to give the surface a wash effect, once the surface is dry, it is possible to apply a coat of VELDECOR by OIKOS finishing it using a brush, sponge or glove by OIKOS.
