Preparation

All substrates must be clean, dry, sound, and free of dust, oil, grease or other contaminants before coating. Prepare as follows:

Renders (DIN EN 998-1 CS II – CS IV, ≥ 2 N/mm²)

Solid, normally absorbent: coat directly.
Slightly sanding/absorbent: prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund, CapaSol RapidGrund or Sylitol RapidGrund 111.
Strongly sanding: prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Gypsum Plasters & Boards

Sand sintered surfaces, remove dust, prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund, CapaSol RapidGrund or Sylitol RapidGrund 111.
Plasterboard: sand filler burrs, prime filler areas/boards as above. Use Caparol AquaSperrgrund for discolouring substrates.

Concrete

Remove release agents and chalking. Prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund, CapaSol RapidGrund or Sylitol RapidGrund 111.

Sand-Lime Masonry

Brush off salt efflorescence. Prime with CapaSol RapidGrund or Sylitol RapidGrund 111; for higher absorption use OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Existing Coatings

Load-bearing: Recoat matt, roughen glossy surfaces.
Non-bearing: Remove fully, prime porous or sanding substrates with OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Distemper (Lime Paint)

Wash off or remove mechanically, then prime with Dupa-Putzfestiger or OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Wallpapers

Woodchip/embossed: usually coat directly (trial coat recommended).
After wallpaper removal: wash off paste residues, prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Mould-Infested Surfaces

Remove mould with Capatox, allow to dry. For extra protection, use Malerit-W, Indeko-W or Fungitex-W.

Stained Surfaces (Nicotine, Water, Soot, Grease)

Clean thoroughly, allow to dry, then prime with Caparol AquaSperrgrund Fein or Filtergrund grob.

Wood & Wood-Based Materials

Prime with Capacryl Holz-IsoGrund or Capacryl Haftprimer (for melamine boards). Panel joints not crack-free; use gypsum boards for a higher finish quality.

Other Substrates

Old lime filler: Sand off sintered layer, test with water. If adhesion poor, remove fully; otherwise, prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.
Chips, joints & defects: Fill with Füllspachtel P.
Thin gypsum fillings (Q2/Q3): Use transparent water-based primer or pasty filling compounds.

Note: Always perform trial applications on critical substrates. Follow relevant BFS data sheets and Caparol technical guidance.

Application

Apply with a brush, roller, or airless spraying equipment. Always stir thoroughly before use.

Airless Application

Dilution: Max. 5% with clean tap water
Spray Pressure: 150 – 180 bar
Spray Angle: 40° – 50°
Nozzle Size: 0.019" – 0.021"
Pistol Filter: approx. 0.31 mm (MW)

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.

Internally Fed Roller Systems

Spray Pressure: 80 – 120 bar
Pistol Filter: approx. 0.31 mm (MW)

Surface Coating System

Apply one even, generous coat of CapaTrend, diluted up to 5% with potable water.
For high colour contrast surfaces: apply a priming coat of CapaTrend, diluted up to 10% with water.
On unevenly absorbent substrates: use Caparol HaftGrund EG as a primer.

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.
