PAINTS | DEFECTS AND REMEDIES

While painting or some time after the painting, you may notice some defects in the painting.
Understanding the causes of these defects can prepare you well enough, before you start the painting
process and make the job easier. Here are some common paint defects and the solutions to remedy them:
Blistering: Blistering or Swelling of paint is caused due to trapping of air, moisture or solvent between the
surface and the paint film. The remedy is to remove any unstable paint films. Allow the wall to dry
thoroughly, and repaint with a recommended paint. Also, avoid painting under direct sunlight

Bittiness: Bittiness is caused due to dirt from the atmosphere or dirt on the surface or dirt from brushes
that are inadequately cleaned or due to bits of dried-up paint that gets stirred in. The Remedy is to use
clean brushes and paint on a clean surface. Also, strain the paint through a cloth before use.
Algae/Fungus growth: Algae and fungus can grow when the surface is continually damp and dirty.
Insufficient fungicide/ algaecide in the paint can also worsen the situation.The Remedy is to remove algae /
fungus by high-pressure washing. Wash again to remove any residue. Allow the wall to dry before applying
with recommended paint.
Brush marks: Brush marks are caused due to under-thinning of paints or due to poor application of the
final coat of paint or due to poor quality brush. The Remedy is to ensure the paint is applied using the right
viscosity and a good brush.

Chipping: Chipping of paint film is due to excessive use of putty or due to very thick coat of paint or
defective surfaces. The Remedy is to regulate the use of putty and paint.
Chalking: Chalking occurs when ultraviolet rays cause the paint binder to disintegrate. It can happen
when interior paints are used for exterior surfaces. The solution- Remove any unstable paint films. Allow
wall to dry thoroughly, and repaint with recommended paint. Make sure paint is not adulterated with
foreign materials.
Cissing: Cissing or tiny craters are caused by oily or greasy surface or due to water based paints being
applied over gloosy or smooth enamel paints. The Remedy is to clean the surface thoroughly with soap
solution and water. Roughen enamel paint with Sandpaper or use a barrier coat of matt primer.

Cracking: This is caused when the paint or varnish is applied over a base layer of different elasticity
before it has been given enough time to cure (which can take up to a month). For example, two separate
brands of varnish may react with each other and form cracks. The Remedy is to allow the surface to dry
fully and then rub it down to make it ready for repainting. However, you could consider leaving the
cracking visible. It is a very popular ageing technique.
Drips: Drips or nibs in the dried paint surface are usually pure lapses in technique. The Remedy is to rub
the dried drips away with fine sandpaper and re-paint the area. On high gloss finishes you may need to
apply a final coat over the entire area to disguise the patch where you rubbed.
Efflorescence: Efforescence or formation of white powdery deposit on walls after painting is caused due
to salts present in the building material like brick and mortar, which surface later on. The Remedy is to
give a long time gap between plastering and painting (about 6 months including one monsoon) Use paint
with a porous film like emulsions and distempers.

Fat edges: A heavy ridge of paint along the edges is caused by too much paint on the brush. The Remedy
is to tap the paint brush against the container for the excess paint to drain out.
Grinning: If the previous colour shows through the finishing coat, it is because the base was too dark or
the paint was too thin or badly applied. The Remedy is to just paint over.
Loss of gloss: Loss of gloss is caused due to poor surface preparation or due to presence of oil or due to
over thinning of paint. The Remedy is to clean the surface thoroughly and take all recommended steps for
surface preparation.
Discolouration: After paint is applied, it may fade or discolour. This is caused by particles in the wall
reacting with the paint when it is drying. Discolouration could also be caused by water seepage, or by
contaminants in metal or wood. The Remedy is to repair water seepage. Make sure the surface is dry
before painting. And apply an alkaline-resistant or oil-based paint.
Flaking: Flaking-off of paint film is due to improper application of primer coat over putty, and not being
completely covered. It can also be due to application of paint on insufficiently dry surfaces or due to
shrinkage or expansion of a surface causing the paint film to move. The Remedy is to ensure that there are
no gaps in covering putty with primer coat. Also ensure that the surface is dry and clean.

Patchiness: Patchiness or uneven finish is caused due to the highly absorbent nature of the surface. The
Remedy is to apply an extra coat of primer or use well-sealer.
Peeling: Peeling is caused by moisture on the wall, poor surface preparation or using the incorrect
painting system. This defect happens on walls as well as wood or metal surfaces.
The remedy for walls is to check and repair water seepage. Ensure the walls are dry before painting. And
use an alkali-resistant basecoat or sealer. Patch surface defects with putty.
The remedy for wood is to prime wood before painting, sand the surface and clean off dust.
The remedy for metal is to remove all paint from metal before re-painting. Prime the surface and re-coat
with suitable paint.
Sagging: Sagging happens when the paint droops downward after being applied on the surface. It is
caused by the pigment separating from the paint and settling at the bottom of the container and comes as
a result of insufficient stirring or shaking during storage, storing for too long or under too much heat, or
faulty thinning. The Remedy is to avoid storing in hot locations for long periods. Store in accordance with
the manufacturer's recommendations and thin only with appropriate recommended thinners.
Wrinkling: Wrinkling happens when the paint forms film-like undulating waves. Applying too much paint,
or drying during high temperatures, or painting on a topcoat before the undercoat is dry can cause this
defect. The Remedy is to avoid applying too much paint. Make sure no paint accumulates round bolts,
rivets, etc. Wait until each coat dries before you re-coat.
Slow drying: Non-drying or slow drying of paint film is caused due to humidity, poor air circulation, low
temperature or presence of oil or grease on the surface or due to alkalinity of the surface. The Remedy is
to reduce the impact of atmospheric conditions to the extent possible; Scrub oil or grease off with a rag
soaked in white spirit and wash with water and soap.

Sheariness: Patches of uneven sheen on flat- or low-sheen finishes are caused


by painting on too porous a surface, causing uneven drying. The Remedy is to use a large brush or roller to
cover
the
area
quickly
or
a
sealer
undercoat.
Yellowing: White paint will gradually yellow because it receives little light - such as inside cupboards or
behind pictures. The Remedy is to use non-yellowing whites

6. DESCRIPTION: BOYSEN Plexibond is a specially formulated acrylic polymer designed for


compounding with Pozzolan or Portland cement. The resulting mixture possesses excellent
adhesion, water resistance and flexibility even on thin section applications. Its use eliminates any
cement plastering defects and water seepage, making it ideal for waterproofing roof decks and
firewalls. It makes for a durable and decorative cementitious coating that not only enhances the
appearance of light building materials but also prolongs their service life as well with its excellent
weatherability. It offers excellent corrosion resistance when applied on metal surfaces, and can also
be used to improve adhesion to mortar patching and tile grouts.
PRINCIPAL USES: Excellent adhesion to concrete, bricks, wood and good corrosion resistance on
metal surfaces such as G.I. sheets.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Outstanding flexibility - A thin section of ordinary cement is hard and brittle and crumbles easily,
while cement modified with BOYSEN Plexibond possesses superior flexibility, thus eliminating
cement plastering defects. The excellent adhesive and tensile strength balance of
BOYSEN Plexibond maintains the integrity of the mortar.
Excellent Water Resistance - When mixed with cement, BOYSEN Plexibond forms a seamless,
non-porous impenetrable thick layer that disperses any liquid upon contact, preventing any water
seepage when applied on both vertical and horizontal surfaces.
Resistant to Weathering - BOYSEN Plexibond has excellent sunlight exposure resistance,
prolonging the service life of light building materials such as marine plywood and cement asbestos
boards.
Solvent-free - BOYSEN Plexibond uses water for film cure, and thus has low odor, low
flammability or other hazards inherent for solvent based systems.
Retards Fire Spread - BOYSEN Plexibond is non-flammable, and retards flame spread when used
as a cementitious coating for light building materials such as plywood.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance - BOYSENPlexibond offers good corrosion resistance on metal
surfaces such as G.I. sheets when applied at a minimum thickness of 20 mils.
Beautifies - BOYSEN Plexibond can be brushed on as a plaster finish or applied by textured roller
or mortar gun, giving an attractive orange peel textured cementitious coating. The thin
cementitious coating allows the preservation of architectural detail on wood, masonry, and metal
surfaces.
PRACTICAL COVERAGE: 5 - 6 square meter / 4 liters
SURFACE DRY: One (1) hour
DRY THROUGH: One (1) hour
DRY FILM THICKNESS: Approximately 20 mils
OVERCOATING INTERVAL: Allow overnight before applying paint
THINNING: Not necessary
PACKAGING: 4-liter can
SURFACE PREPARATION:
BOYSEN PLEXIBOND should be applied on bare concrete, wood, or metal NOT PREVIOUSLY PAINTED.
Existing paint should be totally scraped off. New masonry should be allowed to cure at least 14 to 28

days. Surface should be clean, free from oil, grease, dirt, any loose grit or mortar. Wet masonry
surfaces first with water before applying BOYSEN Plexibond mix to avoid abrupt drying and cracking
of the applied modified cement, especially under hot and sunny conditions.
APPLICATION:
Mix 6.5 to 7.5 kgs. of cement to 4 liters of BOYSEN Plexibond. Add cement to BOYSEN Plexibond
slowly while stirring to prevent lumping. Pass mixture through a fine strainer to sift out lumpy
materials. Ensure intimate mixing, stirring as often as possible to avoid settling. Keep mixture
proportion constant for a uniform texture. Mix only enough material to prevent waste. Workability of
BOYSEN Plexibond mixture is 30 minutes, while potlife is 2 hours.
For vertical surfaces such as firewalls, apply two coats of Plexibond mixture by textured roller (for
orange peel texture finish) or three coats by brush (for plain finish) while maintaining coverage rate at
5-6 sq. meters per gallon. Recoating interval is 1-2 hours.
For horizontal surfaces such as roof decks, parapets, canopies and ledges, apply five coats by brush or
three coats by textured roller.
Reinforce joints, corners and active cracks susceptible to cracking or movement with a strip of
fiberglass matting. Put on the matting immediately after the second coat, while the mixture is still wet.
The matting should adhere to the mixture. Make sure the Plexibond coating and the matting is
completely dry before applying succeeding coats. The matting should be completely covered by the
mixture. Let dry for one day, then apply a bond coat by brushing BOYSEN Plexibond straight from
the can prior to laying out mortar topping.
For filling large cracks, add 3 parts by volume of fine uniform-sized sand to 1 part cement and mix with
BOYSENPlexibond to trowellable consistency.
For maximum durability, topcoat application is recommended. Suggested topcoats are
BOYSEN Permacoat Latex, BOYSEN Acrytex, BOYSEN Acqua Epoxy or BOYSEN Epoxy Enamel.
Allow BOYSEN Plexibond to dry at least one day before paint application.

SPECIAL WATER BASED COATINGS


1. DESCRIPTION: BOYSEN Cool Shades is a heat reflective colored roof coating that is waterbased & has low VOC. It utilizes the technology of infrared-reflecting pigments that repel infrared
light before it turns into heat. To maintain the heat reflective effect over time, Cool Shades is
designed with an all-acrylic binder that provides excellent dirt pick up resistance.

HOW IT WORKS:

Infrared Reflective Pigments

BOYSEN Cool Shades is designed with highly engineered infrared-reflecting (IR) pigments making it
possible to create greens, blues, yellows, grays, and other shades of roof coating while reflecting infrared
light and reducing heat build up. A paint film containing infrared-reflecting pigments will stay cooler than
one containing non-reflective pigments of the same color. The ability of a colored object to reflect infrared
light can be quantified through Total Solar Reflectance (TSR).
