SURFACE PREPARATION*

*ATTENTION If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

• All surfaces should be clean, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease, wax, polish, mold and mildew stains, loose and peeling paint, rust, and all other foreign substances. Scuff sand glossy surfaces and repair imperfections. Allow new concrete, plaster and masonry to cure for 30 days before painting.
• Although this product is a paint & primer (self-priming — first coat is the primer and the second coat is the finish) over most properly prepared surfaces, certain substrate and exposure conditions, as well as project requirements, may necessitate the use of substrate-specific or solution-driven primers.

APPLICATION

CONTAINS: CRYSTALLINE SILICA and TITANIUM DIOXIDE. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. To avoid breathing vapors and spray mist, open windows and doors or use other means to ensure fresh air entry during application and drying. If you experience eye watering, headache or dizziness, increase fresh air. If properly used, a respirator (NIOSH approved for organic vapor with P series particulate pre-filter) may offer additional protection; obtain professional advice before using. A dust mask does not provide protection against vapors.

• For best results, apply when air, material and surface temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F.
• Stir paint occasionally. Intermix containers of same product to ensure color and sheen uniformity. 
• Do not thin. Product is formulated at package consistency.
• Apply two coats by brush (nylon/polyester), roller (3/8" – 1/2" nap) or airless sprayer (.015" – .019" spray tip) at a coverage of 250 – 400 sq ft per gallon. Coverage depends on application method and substrate porosity. Certain colors may require additional coats for complete hide.
• Dries to touch in 1 hour; recoat after 2 hours @ 77°F and 50% RH. Drying and recoat times are dependent on temperature, humidity and film thickness.
• Clean all tools and equipment with soap and water.

SURFACE CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Periodic cleaning to remove dirt and stains is necessary for good sanitization and to assure the effective virucidal and antibacterial performance of the surface. Cleaning does not reduce the virucidal and antibacterial performance of the painted surface. To ensure continuous protection, repaint surface if film becomes damaged (peeled, cracked, etc.) or if paint becomes covered with oils, grease, wax, other paints and other foreign substances; or within 6 years.
• Cleaning does not reduce the virucidal and antibacterial performance of the painted surface.
• To ensure continuous protection, repaint surface if film becomes damaged (peeled, cracked, etc.) or if paint becomes covered with oils, grease, wax, other paints and other foreign substances; or within 6 years.

PROPER SURFACE CARE AND USE:

• The use of an antimicrobial treated surface is a supplement to and not a substitute for standard infection control practices; users must continue to follow all current infection control practices, including those practices related to cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces.
• The painted surface material has been shown to reduce microbial contamination, but does not necessarily prevent cross contamination.

CLEANING DIRECTIONS:

• Cleaning agents typically used on painted surfaces are acceptable.
• The appropriate cleaning agent depends on the type of soiling and the measure of sanitization required.
• The best way to wash painted surfaces is to use a soft damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent solution (a small amount of dishwashing liquid in water).
• Gently wipe the soiled area (using the least amount of pressure) until the stain is removed. Allow the cleaning solution to do the work.
• Do not scrub the surface as this can actually cause the stain to spread.
• Rinse the surface with clean water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers or pads, which can scratch, burnish or damage the paint film.
• Consider using BEHR SWIPES Interior Wall Wipes for removing stubborn stains, such as lipstick and crayon.
• DO NOT USE OXIDIZING CLEANERS/DISINFECTANTS, SUCH AS BLEACH AND HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, OR ENZYME-BASED CLEANING SOLUTIONS AS THEY WILL CAUSE DISCOLORATION AND REDUCE THE EFFICACY OF THE SURFACE.
