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.
