Rain or Shine Dirt Shield

Dirt Resisting Paint, Semi-gloss Finish

 

Rain or Shine Dirt Shield is a water-based waterproofing and dirt resisting paint for exterior concrete surfaces.

It is resistant to ultra-violet light, dirt, dust and temperature variations. Used in conjunction with Rain or Shine Wall Mastic Extreme Waterproofing Paint, it can bridge hairline cracks of vertical concrete walls and prevent efflorescence. It has excellent gloss retention and adhesion to well-prepared concrete surfaces.

Application:

For new concrete:

New concrete should be given enough curing time ranging from one week to one month to reduce water and alkali to a safe level. Excess alkalinity should be neutralized with Concrete Neutralizer. Allow the surface to dry thoroughly. Dust off crystalline deposits if there are any.

Apply (1) coat of ROS-7000 Rain or Shine Prepa-White, ROS-8000 Elasto-Proofer or Rain or Shine Wall Mastic Extreme Waterproofing as needed.

Repair all minor surface imperfections with Rain or Shine Power Putty (ROS-5000). Let dry and then sand. Drying time of Rain or Shine Power Putty (ROS-5000) depends on the wet film thickness of the applied putty.

Apply two (2) to three (3) coats of Rain or Shine Dirt Shield Semi-Gloss Elastomeric Topcoat Paint. Allow 2-4 hours drying in between coats.

Renovation/Repainting:

Remove any flaking or peeling paint. Clean and sand old paint in good condition and dust-off before repainting.

Apply (1) coat of Rain or Shine Prepa-White or ROS-8000 Rain or Shine Elasto-proofer or Rain or Shine Wall Mastic Extreme Waterproofing as needed.

Apply Rain or Shine Power Putty (ROS-5000). Let dry and then sand. Drying time of Rain or Shine Power Putty (ROS-5000) depends on the wet film thickness of the applied putty.

Topcoat with two (2) to three (3) coats of Rain or Shine Dirt Shield Semi-Gloss Elastomeric Topcoat. Allow 2-4 hours drying in between coats. Increasing the number of coats will effectively improve the waterproofing capability and durability.

 

Caution:

Application is strictly prohibited if ambient temperatures are expected to fall below 28ºC or if rain is expected before the curing time of application has passed.
