Suitability according to Technical Information No. 606 Definition of Application Areas

Suitable Substrates

The substrate must be sound/stable, dry, clean, and free from all substances that may prevent good
adhesion. In Germany: Follow VOB, part C, DIN 18 363, paragraph 3.

Substrate Preparation

Renders/Plasters in Mortar Groups/Classes P II (Lime-Cement Mortars) and PIII (Cement
Mortars): Solid renders/plasters with normal absorbency require no preliminary treatment. Prime
highly porous, sanding or absorbent renders/plasters with OptiGrund E.L.F. or CapaSol LF.

Gypsum Mortar and Ready-Mixed Gypsum Plasters of Mortar Group/Class PIV: Apply one
priming coat of Caparol-Haftgrund. Sand sintered surfaces, remove sanding dust and apply one
priming coat of Caparol-Tiefgrund TB.
 

Gypsum Wallboards: Prime absorbent boards with OptiGrund E.L.F. or Caparol-Tiefgrund TB.
Prime highly compacted, smooth boards with Caparol-Haftgrund to improve bonding.
 

Gypsum Plaster Boards (Sandwich Type Plaster Boards / Am.: Drywalls): Sand off any burrs.
Soft and roughened gypsum areas (repair patches) must be primed and strengthened with Caparol-
Tiefgrund TB. Apply one priming coat of Caparol-Haftgrund, OptiGrund E.L.F. or CapaSol LF.
Boards containing water-soluble substances that leaves marks must be primed with Caparol
AquaSperrgrund. In Germany follow BFS Data Sheet No. 12.
 

Concrete: Remove all residues of releasing agents and chalking or sanding substances.
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) / Cellular Concrete: Prime with a 1 : 3 mixture of Capaplex
and tap (potable) water.
 

Fair-Faced Brick and Sand-Lime Brick Masonry: No preliminary treatment required.
 

Sound/Stable Existing Coatings: Treat matt, slightly absorbent coatings without a preliminary
preparation. Roughen/sand glossy surfaces and enamel coatings. Apply one priming coat of Caparol-
Haftgrund.
 

Unsound Existing Coatings: Remove unstable enamels and emulsion/dispersion/latex paints or
synthetic resin-bound (organic) renders/plasters. Prime slightly absorbent, even surfaces with Caparol-
Haftgrund. Prime highly porous, sanding or absorbent substrates with OptiGrund E.L.F. or CapaSol LF.
Remove unstable coats of mineral paint by mechanical means and remove all dust. Prime with
Caparol-Tiefgrund TB.
 

Glue-Bound Distemper (Limewater Colour): Wash off the existing distemper very thoroughly, allow
to fully dry and prime with Caparol-Tiefgrund TB.
 

Unpainted Woodchip/Ingrain, Textured or Embossed Wallpapers (made of Paper): Coat without
any preliminary treatment.
 

Non-Adherent Wallpapers: Remove completely and wash off all residues of wallpaper paste/glue and
waste paper. Prime the substrate with Caparol-Tiefgrund TB.
 

Mildewed Surfaces: Remove fungal attack (fungi/mildew/mould) by wet cleaning, then use Capatox
or FungiGrund and allow to dry thoroughly. Prime according to the type and condition of the substrate.
Apply a finishing coat of Indeko-W, Malerit-W or Fungitex-W on badly infested surfaces in compliance
with legal and official regulations (follow e.g. Ordinance on Biological Agents and Ordinance on
Hazardous Substances).
 

Surfaces Stained by Nicotine, Water, Soot or Fat/Grease: Remove nicotine, soot or fat/grease
stains by washing with tap water adding a grease-dissolving household detergent, then allow the
substrate to dry thoroughly. Clean dried-up water stains by dry brushing. Apply an insulating coat of
Caparol AquaSperrgrund. Apply one finishing coat of Aqua-inn Nº 1 on highly soiled surfaces.
Wood and Derived Timber Products: Coat with dilutable, ecologically compatible Capacryl acrylic
enamels or Capacryl PU enamels.
 

Small Defects: After having completed the necessary preparations, repair small defects with Caparol-
Akkordspachtel in accordance with our application instructions, and if necessary, prime subsequently.

Method of Application

Applicable with paint brush, paint roller or airless spray equipment.
Airless application: Spray angle: 50°; Nozzle size: 0.018" to 0.021";
Optimal spray pressure: 150 to 180 bar. Stir well and sieve the paint before application. Clean tools/
equipment immediately after use with water.

Surface Coating System

One evenly and generously applied coat of Indeko-plus, undiluted or diluted up to a max. of 5 % with
tap (potable) water. High-contrast surfaces require a preliminary first coat of Indeko-plus, diluted up to
max. 10 % with tap water. Prime unevenly absorbent substrates with Caparol-Haftgrund.

Consumption

Application Conditions

Drying/Drying Time

At +20 °C and 65 % relative humidity surface-dry and recoatable after 4 - 6 hours. Completely dry and
ready for stress (loadable) after approx. 3 days. Lower temperatures and higher humidity extend the
drying time.

To avoid lapping, the product should be applied wet-on-wet and without interruption.
Due to the use of Caparol-Tiefgrund TB in the interiors, a typical solvent odour is released, hence
proper ventilation must be provided during application and drying.
Use non-aromatic, low-odour AmphiSilan-Putzfestiger in sensitive areas.
Mechanical stress (scratching) on surfaces in dark shades may produce noticeable bright-toned
stripes. For intensively coloured coatings on surfaces subjected to mechanical loads we recommend
the application of an additional protective coat of PremiumColor, tinted to match the Indeko-plus coat in
shade. Follow Technical Information PremiumColor.
Touching up surfaces is depending on many parameters and noticeable marks of repaired areas
cannot be avoided. (In Germany: See BFS Data Sheet No. 25)
