Renders / Plasters

Solid, normal surfaces: Can be painted directly.
Slightly sanding or absorbent surfaces: Prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund, CapaSol RapidGrund, or Sylitol RapidGrund 111.
Heavily sanding surfaces: Prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Gypsum Surfaces

Gypsum plasters: Sand lightly, remove dust, and prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund, CapaSol RapidGrund, or Sylitol RapidGrund 111.
Gypsum boards / planks: Prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.
Plasterboard filler areas: Sand off burrs, then prime. For water-soluble discoloration, use Caparol AquaSperrgrund.

Concrete: Remove residues, chalking, or sanding. Prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund, CapaSol RapidGrund, or Sylitol RapidGrund 111.
Sand-lime masonry: Brush off salts, prime with CapaSol RapidGrund or Sylitol RapidGrund 111. For highly absorbent surfaces, use OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Existing Paint Coatings

Stable, load-bearing coatings: Recoat directly; roughen glossy surfaces.
Unstable or non-bearing coatings: Remove old paint, prime porous or sanding areas with OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Special Surfaces

Glue-bound distemper: Wash thoroughly, let dry, prime with Dupa plaster strengthener or OptiSilan TiefGrund.
Wallpaper / embossed paper: Coat directly; for removed wallpaper, clean residue and prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.
Mold-infested surfaces: Clean with Capatox, let dry, follow legal regulations; for extra protection, use Malerit-W, Indeko-W, or Fungitex-W.
Nicotine, soot, water, or grease stains: Wash with water + degreasing agent, dry, then seal with Caparol AquaSperrgrund Fein or Caparol-Filtergrund.
Wood / wood-based panels: Prime with Capacryl Holz-IsoGrund; for factory-coated melamine boards, use Capacryl Haftprimer.

Filling Defects

Fill chips, joints, and small defects with Füllspachtel P.
For gypsum layers <0.5 mm, use a transparent, water-based primer to ensure good adhesion.

Application

Apply with a paint brush, roller, or airless spray equipment.

Coating Instructions

White Coating: Apply a rich, even coat of CapaMaXX undiluted or diluted with a maximum of 5% water.
High-contrast surfaces: Apply a primer coat first, diluted with a maximum of 10% water.
Differently absorbent substrates: Apply a primer coat of Caparol HaftGrund EG before the topcoat.

Drying and Recoat Times

Surface-dry and recoatable: Approx. 4–6 hours at +20 °C and 65% relative humidity.
Fully cured and ready for stress: Approx. 3 days.
Note: Lower temperatures and higher humidity can extend drying times.

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.
