AFONTERMO IL NANOCAPPOTTO^® application procedures

AFONTERMO^® is a ready to use product to be applied in two layers and is available in various finishes. The total thickness after the application is about 4 mm for the inside walls and 6 mm for the external walls.
Once AFONTERMO^® is dry it can be painted using exclusively PITTURA THERMOFOTOCATALITICA AFON CASA,  which can be colored using mineral oxides. 

APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR INTERNAL WALLS

• Mix the product directly in its pail using an electric whisk. The product must be mixed until it becomes homogeneous creamy and soft.
• Apply evenly using a smooth-edged steel trowel. For a correct application follow these procedures:
  • Apply the first layer of AFONTERMO^® type A 1-2mm;
  • Let the first layer dry completely (about 48 hours), then proceed with the application of the second layer choosing from the following finishes:
    
    • AFONTERMO^® Type B 0,25-0,5 mm. Civil finish with grain size comparable to fine sand. Once the second layer is dry (about 48 hours), if necessary, you can proceed painting the wall.
    • AFONTERMO^® Type B 0,5-1 mm. Civil finish con granulometria paragonabile all’intonaco tradizionale. Attendere l’asciugatura (48 ore circa) e successivamente tinteggiare la superficie se necessario.
      
      N.B. To achieve a smooth finish, apply two coats of PITTURA THERMOFOTOCATALITICA AFON CASA (diluted 4% with water) over AFONTERMO^® Type B 0,25-0,5 mm. .

APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR EXTERNAL WALLS

• After adding a flask of Catalizzatore Afon Casa (Catalyzer) for each pail of AFONTERMO^® Type A CORAZZATO (Armored AFONTERMO^® for external use), mix the product until it becomes homogeneous creamy and soft.
• Proceed by applying evenly the product to the surface using a smooth-edged steel trowel.
• When the first layer is completely dry, after approximately 48 hours, proceed by applying a second hand of the same type of AFONTERMO^®.
• Painting must be done using exclusively our PITTURA THERMOFOTOCATALITICA AFON CASA.

ATTENTION: in fall or winter and more generally in presence of high humidity levels, the product takes from 2 to 6 days to dry, so be sure the surfaces are completely dry before applying the second layer of AFONTERMO^®.
