• Dulux Acratex® Tiltwash is applied using an airless spray unit (eg Graco 695 with a .0015 - .0019 tip at 1000 psi) or a low pressure knapsack spray unit.
• Large panels should be articulated into manageable work areas, always maintaining a wet edge ensuring rinsing of TiltWash is actioned prior to the area drying.
• If TiltWash dries, re-apply TiltWash to the affected area and rinse thoroughly.
• This will produce a foaming wave of excess material descending down the panel.
• As TiltWash is applied the panel should take on a darkened appearance.
• Should this not happen, apply a second coat of Dulux Acratex® Tiltwash and consult with Dulux Acratex®.
• Rinse panel with a flood of water (heavy spray not jet) deluging panel from top to bottom.
• Ensure extra care is taken whilst rinsing to ledges, sills and all fixtures on panels.
• A second rinse should be performed whilst panel is still wet from initial rinse.
• This is to make sure all remnants of bondbreaker and TiltWash are removed.
• This product should not be released into any watercourses, drains or gutters neat or diluted and should be contained and disposed of under local waste management procedures.
