Mapei Dursilite Matt Paint is a water-based internal wall paint with good hiding power, a high whitness level and a matt finish, made from modified acrylic resins in water dispersion and selected fillers.

Recommended Use

Painting all types of new, old and painted internal surfaces where an attractive, smooth, matt finish with low dirt pick up and a high whitness level are required. Protecting and decorating cementitious, lime or gypsum-based substrates to form a vapour-permeable, washable finish.

Surface Preperation

Surfaces must be well cured, perfectly clean, cohesive and dry. Remove all traces of oil and grease from the surface and any parts which are not well adhered. Seal all cracks and repair any deteriorated areas. Seal the porosity and smooth over uneven areas on the substrate with mortars and skimming compounds of MAPEI Building line. Apply Malech or Dursilite Base Coat. Dilute Malech with water according to the type of substrate (cementitious, gypsum or lime based); as a generai rule, it is suggested a dilution Malech/water in a ratio of 1/1 for more absorbent substrates and 1/2 for less absorbent substrates, in order to avoid the forming of a glassy film on the wall surface. Apply Dursilite Base Coat white or colored in a shade similar to the final color, particularly in case of bright colors that normally have poor covering properties (such as bright red, yellow or green). Wait until Malech or Dursilite Base Coat are completely dry (6-12 hours) and apply Dursilite Matt. Preparation of the product Dilute Dursilite Matt with 15-20% of water, making sure that it is thoroughly blended. Use a drill at low-speed for blending if possible. When preparing only partial quantities, we recommend mixing Dursilite Matt directly in its original container before pouring off the quantity required.

Application

Apply Dursilite Matt with a brush, a roller or by spray on the dry Malech primer or Dursilite Base Coat. The cycle comprises the application of at least two coats of Dursilite Matt. Wait 6-12 hours between each coat depending on temperature and humidity conditions, and in all cases wait the previous coat is completely dry. For particularly “clean”, bright colours (such as red, yellow, orange or green), a third coat may be required over the two coats normally applied
