Sunlight Exterior Technical Sheet Reduces up to 88.8% of the pollutants in the air Eliminates 99.9% of moulds and bacteria even without light, permanently preventing their growth Prevents dirt depositing on the surfaces Reduces the energy consumption of cooling by 15-50% Eliminates bad odours from the surrounding environment Ensures excellent aesthetic performance with the application of a single coat Diluition with water 75% Clean with water Application Cycle The complete application cycle includes the preparation of the substrate with a single coat of tinted Airlite Primer, and a single coat of Airlite Sunlight Exterior. Tools - Short-haired roller - Water - Brush - Scale - Roller grid - Measuring cup - Empty can - Drill mixer Application Instructions The following instructions have been compiled to ensure the correct application of Airlite. Please follow them closely. It is essential that the correct ratio/combination of Airlite Powder and water is respected (see below). Airlite is 100% natural and in order to get the best results possible, it is recommended to complete the painting of the surface without interruption in order to have an even finish. The application of a single coat of tinted Airlite Primer is essential before the application of Airlite Sunlight Exterior. For any enquire, please contact our customer service department by writing to: info@airlite.com Instructions for the preparation of 5 kg of Airlite powder. For different quantity, the same proportions and procedures must be applied (eg.: each 1 kg of Airlite powder has to be mixed with 0,75 litres of water). White Paint* 1. Take 3.75 litres of clean water. 2. Pour 2 litres of the prepared water into 5 kg of Airlite Sunlight Exterior powder. 3. Mix it with a mixer until the powder is completely dissolved. It is recommended to start with a lower speed and increase it gradually to a higher speed. 4. Add the remaining 1.75 litres of water to the mix. 5. Continue mixing it alternating the speed of the mixer, until you have the optimal consistency. Coloured paint* 1. Fill up a container with 3.75 litres of clean water. 2. Take the container of the pigment. 3. Pour all the coloured pigment into the 3.75 litres of water, mix it at least for 20 seconds, until it is completely dissolved. 4. Pour 2 liters of the coloured water into the 5 kg of Airlite Sunlight Exterior powder. 5. Mix it with a mixer until the powder is completely dissolved. It is recommended to start with a lower speed and increase it gradually to a higher speed. 6. Add the remaining 1.75 litres of water to the mix. 7. Continue mixing it alternating the speed of the mixer, until you have the optimal consistency. Attention: Once the paint is ready, it has to be applied in 3 hours (this is an indicative value, it depends on the environmental conditions). For airless spray gun application, use a nozzle type 427-429 and a pressure of approx. 100/140 bar. Airlite Sunlight Exterior is a mineral, inorganic exterior paint with high breathability. It is available in white and numerous colours. Provided in a powder form, it has to be mixed with water before application guaranteeing perfect coverage and a long-lasting effect. The technology of Airlite is recommended by the Italian Ministry of Environment via Article (G.U. n. 84 - 9 April 2004) - Innovative Systems and Technologies for the mitigation and removal of environmental pollution. Airlite Sunlight Exterior is Cradle to Cradle Certified™ at the silver level. Cradle to Cradle Certified™ products are evaluated for material health, material reutilization, renewable energy use and carbon management, water stewardship, and social fairness. Benefits Airlite Sunlight Exterior uses a set of patented technologies to reduce air pollution as well as bacterial and mould growth. Its high durability and self-cleaning effect ensurin better conditions of the infrastructure, reducing the frequency of painting and maintenance. Effective against the disruptive action of water, rain, acid rain and smog and it retains a high level of surface breathability. Furthermore, it has a high reflectance power and prevents the excessive flow of heat into buildings, ensuring cooler environments and reduces the energy consumption of air conditioning by 15-50%. Activated in the presence of light, the effectiveness is preserved with limited to no reduction of performance due to the catalytic nature of the technology. With the application a single coat of tinted Airlite Primer and a single coat of Airlite Sunlight Exterior, an excellent aesthetic performance and a finely velvety natural finish is guaranteed, reducing the time of application. The special inorganic composition of the paint is in class A2-s1, d0 regarding fire classification (UNI EN 13501-1:2009). The VOC content is less than 0.1 g/l in the white coloured product when being applied (European Directive 2004/42/CE), more than 400 times less than the limit defined in the European Regulations. Airlite is LEED, WELL and BREEAM compliant: Airlite products can help you get points for LEED, WELL and BREEAM certification of buildings. Field of application Airlite Sunlight Exterior has high coverage and can be applied on all the external surfaces (new or existing). It is ideal for every type of external application. Particularly: - external plasters, New Jersey type concrete, concrete surfaces and masonry - prebuilt elements, parking areas, viaducts - infrastructure of road transport, railway and airport - overlay of galleries with suitable light - traffic dividers, overlay of sound barriers - sensitive receptors such as schools, hospitals, residences, public and private buildings Preparation of the base The base must be intact, solid, dry and clean. It must be free of dust, oil, efflorescence, incoherent particles, substances or salts that might prevent the adhesion of the paint. The substrate must be treated with tinted Airlite Primer (white or coloured). Particular cases Old Substrates: the surfaces must be treated carefully. Moulds must be removed prior to application of Airlite Anti-Mould. Any remaining paint, old overcoats and overlays must be removed and the surface must be cleaned again. Concrete: the surfaces must be treated carefully. Any remains must be removed and surface flaws repaired before the application of the product. Any remaining oil, grease and wax must be removed with sandblasting machine. The tools used must be rinsed thoroughly with water immediately after use.
