If you intend to sand or lightly-abrade PVC , take note that friction will cause heat, which can release toxic chemicals in the dust — hydrogen and chloride — that can affect breathing. Always wear protective equipment gloves, eyewear, ventilated facemask to filter out dust and chemicals. Technispray have pre-treatment products such as Vinylkleen to remove all water-soluble contaminants together with most oils, Windowprep and Polyprep.
Make sure the surfaces are sanded so that the brush can achieve a seamless stroke. Bradite also have their own Industrial Degreaser recommended to remove oils, grease and other contamination. The surface must be clean, dry and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion or application of the products and materials to be applied.
Start by removing loose and failing material by scraping or brushing with a stiff bristle brush to a sound edge, feathering sound edges with a fine grade abrasive paper. We also recommend that these products are for vertical surfaces with a good water run-off, products are not intended for areas of water immersion, roof areas, areas where water will pond or use on floors or underfoot.

The product has excellent colour retention and adhesion to most exterior surfaces, bare or previously painted, including wood, metal and UPVC. Two coats are required, the first coat acts as the primer and the second seals and protects the system.
It can be applied by either a brush or a roller and is re-coatable after a minimum of 1 hour. As composite surfaces tend to have a wax like finish we would also advise lightly abrading the surface area. Ensure that there is no risk of rain, fog, frost or condensation from affecting the applied paint before it has had a chance to fully cure. Hi just a quick enquiry.
