UNI – PROTECT DATA SHEET

UNIPROTECT DATA SHEET AND APPLICATION

UNIPROTECT is a protection coating applicable externally or internally on surfaces as
concrete, stone, bricks, clay terracotta, lime renders, gypsum.

UNIPROTECT is clear and will not affect paint colours.
It is studied to provide protection against chemical, physical and biological agents such as
acid rain, frost, bio growth and dirt. It will also increase the resistance of lime paint coatings
against adverse weather conditions.

APPLICATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH ST. ASTIER LIME PAINTS.
Restoration and conservation. If painting directly on stone or bricks apply a first coat of
lime paint (white or pigmented) as normal on well prepared surfaces which have been
dampened enough to avoid high suction.
The second coat is applied about 24 hours later in one or two passes and will consist of the
normal lime paint mix (pigmented or not) with an addition of 0.5 litres of UNIPROTECT for
every 3 litres of water used.
For additional protection, in extremely exposed areas, apply a third coat with Uniprotect or
only UNIPROTECT by brush, roller or spray.
NOTE: do not use UNIPROTECT on gypsum plasters or gypsum/lime plaster
unless in accordance with the method described above.

UNIPROTECT DATA SHEET AND APPLICATION
New Build
On cement, blocks or dense backgrounds with little suction, apply UNIPROTECT
with a first coat of white lime paint (0.5 litres for every 3 litres of water used).
Application with rollers or brushes: preferably use a brush or a low pressure spray gun
(3.5 bar) for uneven or rough surfaces. Rollers for smooth surfaces.
Clean and dampen the background adequately to control suction. Apply the first coat
whilst background is still damp.
Second and, if required, third coat as per Restoration and Conservation method.
Notes
– Mix UNIPROTECT well in the prescribed dosage with the water to be used in
the dilution of the lime paint.
– Do not apply at temperatures below 5oC.
– Do not apply in thick layers. Eliminate thickly applied material (drips and
bulges) by brushing or rolling over it whilst still wet.
– Eliminate spillages immediately using a clean wet cloth.
– Fungi, lichens etc… have to be treated and cleaned off prior to application of
the lime paints and UNIPROTECT.
– Clean utensils immediately after usage with clean water.
– Check your application area for suction. Smooth surfaces offering no suction
(i.e gypsum plasters) should be slightly sanded down before applying lime
paints.
– Always protect the work in its early stages against rain, frost, drying wind or
strong direct sun
