Big Island Icon, New Coastal Finish – NXT Cool Coat at Fairmont Orchid

Training Application

This Hollywood home with an asphalt shingle roof was restored as a part of a Nutech Paint training program, with the processing being recorded for future reference. The entire application took one day as the weather was warm and drying times were quick. The structure of the roof was sound, and no tiles were damaged, however, due to the aging and weathered look, the homeowner wished coat it. The new coating was finished in time for a wedding reception held in the garden.

Initially, the roof was inspected for damage, then lightly cleaned to avoid dislodging any asphalt tiles. Once the debris and dirt had been removed, the entire surface was primed using Nutech Paint’s Asphalt Primer in white.

With the warm temperature, each coat was touch dry in a short amount of time and two coats of NXT Cool Coat in Beige Low-Sheen could be applied.

A Nutech Paint representative was present for the whole day, as this was a training program for the applicator.

When it comes to concrete surfaces, unlocking their full potential requires proper preparation. Acid etching is a crucial step in the process, offering numerous benefits that enhance the durability and aesthetics of your concrete. Let's delve into the importance of acid etching concrete in the Australian market and how it can transform your surfaces into stunning focal points.

1. Enhanced Adhesion:

Acid etching creates a rough and porous surface by removing impurities and creating micro-etching patterns. This textured surface significantly improves the adhesion of subsequent coatings, such as paints, sealers, or overlays. By promoting a strong bond, acid etching ensures that your concrete finishes adhere effectively, reducing the risk of peeling or delamination.

2. Improved Durability:

Concrete surfaces that undergo acid etching exhibit improved durability. The process removes surface contaminants, oil, grease, and other substances that may weaken the integrity of the concrete. This creates a clean canvas that allows subsequent coatings to penetrate and bond deeply, resulting in a longer-lasting, more resilient surface.

3. Enhanced Aesthetics:

Acid etching adds character and depth to concrete surfaces, enhancing their visual appeal. The micro-etching patterns created during the process can mimic the look of natural stone or provide a unique texture that elevates the overall design. Whether you're working on driveways, patios, or interior floors, acid etching can transform ordinary concrete into a visually stunning feature.

4. Improved Safety:

Another significant benefit of acid etching is the improved safety it provides. Roughening the surface increases slip resistance, particularly in areas prone to moisture or water accumulation. This is especially beneficial for outdoor spaces, pool decks, or areas where safety is a concern. Acid etching helps reduce the risk of slips and falls, ensuring a safer environment for everyone.

5. Cost-Effective Solution:

Compared to alternative methods, acid etching is a cost-effective solution for preparing concrete surfaces. It requires minimal equipment and can be done efficiently, saving time and money. By investing in acid etching, you set the foundation for long-lasting and high-quality coatings, minimizing the need for costly repairs or reapplications down the line.

Acid etching is an essential step in unleashing the potential of your concrete surfaces in the Australian market. By enhancing adhesion, improving durability, adding aesthetics, improving safety, and offering a cost-effective solution, acid etching ensures that your concrete surfaces reach their full capabilities.

Whether you're looking to revitalize your outdoor spaces, create stunning interior floors, or improve safety in high-traffic areas, acid etching is the key to unlocking your concrete surfaces' true beauty and longevity.

Choose acid etching as the foundation for your concrete projects, and witness the transformative power it brings to your home or commercial space.

Preparing Old, Bare concrete surfaces.

Interior and exterior concrete surfaces do not have to remain a flat, boring shade of gray. Concrete can be made to look interesting and beautiful by applying a few coats of paint. Painting concrete is a simple and inexpensive task that can be completed by most homeowners. In order to successfully paint concrete it is important to clean and prep the area properly, apply an appropriate concrete paint, and allow adequate time in between each step to ensure that the end result is perfect and long lasting.

Below is a short step by step on how to properly prepare old and bare concrete before painting using Nutech EcoSafe Concrete preparation products.

Prior to commencing, assess the concrete surface for surface contamination and identify areas to be sealed which will require thorough cleaning. 

Assess the area to be sealed for surface porosity, cracks and structural issues. 

Where required, consult an engineer for further advice.

Step 1: Cleaning the surface

Grease and oil removal.

First, sweep away any surface leaves, debris, and dirt. Then remove any existing paint or gunk using a power washer or scraper and wire brush.  

• Where required, clean residual grease and oil using EcoSafe Degreaser.

• Mix 1 part EcoSafe Degreaser to 4 parts water.

• Apply by plastic watering can or pump spray pack, liberally to the soiled area.

• Allow the solution to activate on the surface for at least 5 minutes. Multiple treatments may be required.

• High pressure clean with a recommended minimum water pressure of 2000 psi.

For stubborn grease and oil stains, a second undiluted application of EcoSafe Degreaser may be required.

Step 2: Moss and lichen removal

Moss and lichen removal (where applicable)

• Remove all loose contaminants including moss build up, dust, dirt and debris.

• Mix Nutech Hypo based on level of contamination;

- Lightly Soiled Areas: Mix 1 to 1 with clean fresh water.

- Heavily Soiled Areas: Neat – no dilution required.

• Apply liberally to affected areas via watering can or pump spray pack.

• Allow Nutech Hypo to activate on the surface for a minimum of 2 hours.

• High pressure clean with a recommended minimum water pressure of 2000 psi.

• Allow the concrete surface to dry thoroughly.

If badly affected by Moss or Lichen treat with Nutech Hypo prior to pressure cleaning.

Step 3: Etching old bare concrete

Note: PaveCoat MUST penetrate the surface to achieve good adhesion. It is imperative that the concrete surface is etched prior to application to improve porosity and sealer absorption. Etching is often a pre-requisite for application of high-performance paint/coating systems.

• DO NOT Etch if the concrete is powdery or soft. Further surface treatment may be required.  Please contact Nutech Paint for further advice.

Step 4: Mixing the Etc

Use a plastic watering can to mix and apply the etch as outlined;

• Rough stipple finished concrete:

1 part EcoSafe Etch or EcoSafe UltraEtch to 15 parts clean water.

• Smooth steel trowelled concrete surfaces:1 part EcoSafe Etch or EcoSafe UltraEtch to 10 parts clean water.

• Hardened or High MPa Concrete:

1 part EcoSafe Etch or NEcoSafe UltraEtch to 5 parts clean water.

When mixing EcoSafe Etch or EcoSafe UltraEtch, always add the etch in the recommended ratio to water.

Step 5: Applying the Etch

Use the watering can to evenly wet the entire concrete surface with diluted EcoSafe Etch or EcoSafe UltraEtch solution and allow to activate on the surface for 15 minutes.

• After 15 minutes, high pressure clean with a recommended minimum water pressure of 2000 psi.

• Allow the concrete surface to dry thoroughly.

Step 6: Test for porosity and moisture content:

Determine porosity.

• Measure 1 cup of fresh water and pour onto the dry surface.

• Observe water absorption noting absorption within 30 seconds.

• If water pools or is slow to be absorbed, a second application of etch will be required.

• Repeat etch process if necessary.

Step 7: Determine moisture content:

The concrete should have less than 5% moisture content prior to sealing.

• A calibrated moisture test meter should be used to assess the percentage of moisture present prior to application.

If there is no access to a moisture test meter, tape a plastic sheet onto the concrete surface and leave for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, lift the plastic sheet. If no moisture or condensation is present under the sheet, the concrete is dry enough to apply the sealer.

Your Concrete surface is now ready to paint!
