For Current Users with Questions About How to Use Photocatalyst Biomimic Coat
Show All- What should be kept in mind when applying on walls?
- As the liquid is transparent, it is somewhat difficult to know how much of the surface area you have coated. While spraying, it is important to focus on which areas have been coated, being cautious not to miss any spots. If you fear that you may have missed a spot, be sure to reapply to that area. This is particularly important when applying to outdoor walls. Any missed spots will lead to areas that will become covered with dirt and grime over time.
- What is the expiration date?
- Biomimic Coat has a long shelf-life when stored in the cool and dark conditions. That said, we recommend that you use it as soon as possible after purchase.
- Can it be applied to outdoor walls in the rain?
- Application can be done in the rain as long as rainfall is not coming into direct contact with the wall.
- Will rainfall taking place after application on an exterior wall be a problem?
- This is not a problem for walls applied with BM Under and BM-U Coat. Both can get wet after application. If rain is in the forecast, protect the walls from direct water-exposure with a simple canopy made from scaffolding.
- How long should I wait to apply the Top Coat after applying BM Under?
- The amount of time required depends somewhat on the season and current temperature. Generally, however, you can apply Top Coat as soon as BM Under is dry to touch. Some waiting time, approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour, may be required in situations of higher levels of moisture.
- Are there any kinds of tiles on which the coating cannot be used?
- We have successfully applied Biomimic Coat to tiles of a wide variety with great success. Further, the appearance of the tiles remains unchanged after application. Biomimic Coat can be applied on tiles of all types (porcelain, stoneware, ceramics and more), glazed or unglazed and with variant rates of water absorption. Anything goes! When applying Biomimic Coat, please consider the water absorption rate of the tile so as to adjust the amount of liquid solution used for coating.
- What should be kept in mind when using with glass or leather products?
- Application on these materials require the most concern as both do not lend themselves to easy reapplication. Once the glass is sprayed it is difficult to remove as it becomes immediately affixed to the surface. There are many techniques that we have discovered from field applications on such materials. Please feel free to contact us for details.
- Can the solution be diluted?
- Please use Biomimic Coat as is! Dilution of Biomimic will result in lower levels of performance. Do not dilute!
