Overview

Capacryl TriMaXX Venti is a versatile, water-based lacquer that provides the robust performance of traditional solvent-based enamels while offering the quicker drying times and healthier application of modern water-based systems. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, it is well suited to dimensionally stable and partially stable wooden elements such as windows and doors, and also adheres to primed metal and rigid PVC.

Thanks to its advanced bimodal binder technology, TriMaXX Venti contains 15% more solids than standard water-based enamels, offering excellent opacity, edge coverage, and long-lasting colour stability. This all-rounder one-pot system lacquer serves as both primer and finish coat, delivering easy application, block resistance, and moisture regulation for a durable, professional finish. Certified safe for children’s toys (DIN EN 71-3), it offers an environmentally responsible solution for both residential and commercial applications.

Tinted Colour Information

Preparation

Wooden Components

• Follow BFS Leaflet No. 18: "Coatings on wood and wood building materials."
• Sand surfaces in the direction of the grain and clean thoroughly.
• Remove any escaping wood substances such as resins or resin galls.
• Break off sharp edges.
• If necessary, apply a preventive impregnation against blue stain fungus (observe permissible areas for wood preservatives).
• On white or light-colored paintwork, use a barrier primer to prevent discolouring wood ingredients.

Iron / Steel

• Prepare to standard cleanliness: SA 2 1⁄2 (blasting) or ST 3 (machine) per DIN EN ISO 12944-4.
• Apply a suitable corrosion protection primer.

Aluminum

• Follow BFS Leaflet No. 6: "Coatings made of aluminum components."
• Clean with Universal Thinner or Gescha Multi-Star using a plastic sanding pad.
• Prime with Capacryl Haftprimer (do not use on anodized aluminum).

Rigid PVC

• Follow BFS Leaflet No. 22: "Coatings on plastic in building construction."
• Clean surfaces with Gescha Multi-Star and a plastic sanding pad.
• Sand with abrasive <180 grit, vacuum off dust.
• Prime with Capacryl Haftprimer.

Old Coatings

• Sand and clean adherent alkyd resin paints and/or acrylic dispersion paints.

Application

Capacryl TriMaXX Venti can be applied using brushes, rollers, or spray equipment. Stir thoroughly before use.

• Brush: Use long-bristle acrylic brushes, ideal for waterborne coatings.
• Roller: Use short-pile rollers, followed by a fine-pore foam roller for a smooth finish.
• Spraying (Airless recommended):
  • Nozzle: 0.010 – 0.012 inch
  • Pressure: 200 bar
  • Dilution: up to 10% water
  • Note: Values may vary depending on device type and manufacturer.

Substrate Preparation & Coating System

Wood / Wooden Components

• Interior: Sand/clean. Prime if necessary with Capacryl Holz-IsoGrund. Apply 1–2 coats of Capacryl TriMaXX Venti.
• Exterior (dimensionally stable or limited stable): Impregnate with Capacryl HolzSchutzGrund or Capalac Holz-Imprägniergrund. Prime if necessary with Capacryl Holz-IsoGrund or Capalac GrundierWeiß. Apply 1–2 coats of Capacryl TriMaXX Venti. For windows, apply an additional intermediate coat as per BFS Data Sheet No. 18.

Metal Surfaces

• Iron/Steel Interior: Derust and clean, then prime with Capalac Aqua Multiprimer or Capalac AllGrund. Apply Capacryl TriMaXX Venti if necessary.
• Iron/Steel Exterior: Derust and clean, then apply 2 coats of Capalac AllGrund. Finish with Capacryl TriMaXX Venti.
• Galvanized Steel/Zinc (Interior/Exterior): Prime with Capacryl Haftprimer if necessary. Apply Capacryl TriMaXX Venti.
• Capacryl Haftprimer if necessary. Apply Capacryl TriMaXX Venti.

Rigid PVC Components (Interior/Exterior)

• Prime with Capacryl Haftprimer if necessary, then apply Capacryl TriMaXX Venti.

Existing Adhesive or Old Coatings

• Sanding and cleaning required. Apply Capacryl TriMaXX Venti. Pretreat damaged areas according to substrate requirements.
• For alkyd resin and acrylic dispersion coatings, apply directly if adhesion is sufficient.
• Test adhesion on 2-component coatings, powder coatings, coil coatings, or other factory coatings. Use an EP adhesion primer if needed.

Notes:

• For white and light-colored coatings, it may be necessary to block wood ingredients.
• Always follow BFS Data Sheet No. 18 for dimensionally stable wooden components (e.g., windows) regarding intermediate coats.

Note: If using more than one can of the same colour, intermix prior to use to ensure colour consistency. Check tinted product prior to application to avoid colour differences.
