Preparation

Ensure all substrates are sound, stable, dry, clean, and free from dust, grease, or other substances that could prevent good adhesion.

Renders

Solid, normally absorbent, even renders can be coated directly.
Slightly sanding or absorbent renders: prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund, CapaSol RapidGrund, or Sylitol RapidGrund 111.
Strongly sanding renders: prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Gypsum Plasters

Sand and remove dust.
Prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund, CapaSol RapidGrund, or Sylitol RapidGrund 111.

Gypsum Boards / Planks

Prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.
For sanded filler areas or boards with water-soluble discoloring ingredients, use Caparol AquaSperrgrund.

Concrete

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

Sand-Lime Masonry

Brush off salt efflorescence.
Prime with CapaSol RapidGrund or Sylitol RapidGrund 111. For stronger absorption, use OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Load-Bearing Coatings

Recoat matt, slightly absorbent coatings directly.
Roughen glossy surfaces.

Non-Bearing Coatings

Remove unstable varnish, dispersion paints, or synthetic resin plaster coatings.
Prime porous or absorbent surfaces with OptiSilan TiefGrund.
Mechanically remove non-bearing mineral paint coatings, remove dust, then apply one priming coat of OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Glue-Bound Distemper

Wash existing distemper thoroughly, dry, then prime with Dupa-Putzfestiger or OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Wallpapers

Relief or embossed paper wallpapers can be coated directly; apply a trial coat where necessary.
Foamed wallpapers may cause stickiness or odour reactions when coated.
For removed wallpaper, wash off paste and residues, then apply one priming coat of OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Mould-Infested Surfaces

Remove mould by wet cleaning, wash with Capatox, and allow to dry thoroughly.
Follow local regulations for chemical use.
Use Malerit-W, Indeko-W, or Fungitex-W for additional protection.

Surfaces with Stains (Nicotine, Water, Soot, Grease)

Clean thoroughly, allow to dry, then apply a barrier priming coat with Caparol AquaSperrgrund Fein or Caparol-Filtergrund grob.

Wood & Wood-Based Materials

Apply one priming coat of Capacryl Holz-IsoGrund.
For factory-coated melamine boards, use Capacryl Haftprimer.
For higher visual standards, consider a decoupling layer with thin gypsum boards.

Old Lime Filler Techniques

Sand off sintered layers.
Negative wetting test: remove entire layer and rebuild substrate.
Positive wetting test: prime with OptiSilan TiefGrund.

Chips, Joints, and Defects

Fill recesses with Füllspachtel P.

Application

Indeko-plus can be applied using a paint brush, roller, or airless spray equipment.

Airless Application

Dilution: Maximum 5% with water
Spray Pressure: 150–180 bar
Spray Angle: 40°–50°
Nozzle Size: 0.019"–0.021"
Pistol Filter: approx. 0.31 mm

Internally Fed Roller Systems
