POOLCOTE is a custom designed swimming pool coating system where the requirements
for wear resistance and durability are particularly demanding.
The product has been formulated in Germany where it has been used with great success
for many years. In South Africa, Poolcote has been subjected to tests over the past
eight years and has proved highly suitable for coatings of old Marblite plastered
pools.
Poolcote is also suitable for application on most previously painted surfaces. Previous
loose paint should be removed.
The system
The primer consists of 5lt high penetration Methacrylic Resin.
Poolcote consists of 5lt Poolcote Synthetic Thermoplastic Resin. The Poolcote has
the following properties:
Good application characteristics and very easy to apply.
Colour stability, attractive appearance.
Good adhesion with the unique ability to bond to most clean surfaces.
Resistance to aggressive chemicals; acids and lyes.
High water vapour permeability.
The application of Poolcote
Preparation of old plastered pool surface
The pool surface should be acid washed using Hydrochloric Pool Acid. One part acid
plus four parts of water. The pool surface should then be brushed clean using a
scrubbing brush and plenty of water. The surface of the pool should now be left
to dry out thoroughly for approximately seven days.
Primer applications
Mix primer thoroughly and apply one thin coat to the pool surface. Do not attempt
to paint on a damp surface.
Poolcote application
Poolcote should be mixed well before application. Apply two thin coats of Poolcote
after the primer has dried. Allowing surface to dry between coats. Poolcote thinners
must be added if too thick. Paint applied too thick may cause bubbles at a later
stage as too thickly applied paint will impair the paint’s water vapour permeability
and the paint will not be able to breathe. This can cause bubbles.
Cleaning
Brushes and equipment may be cleaned with Poolcote Thinners.
Water
The swimming pool may only be filled with water after 7 days as the Poolcote must
cure thoroughly in a dry environment.
