Detailed Description

VALRENNA is an interior water-based paint which is unusually soft to the touch, similar to buckskin. VALRENNA is made up of special resins and pigments which enable decorative effects similar to soft fabric to be achieved, with colour shades of extreme elegance. In addition, it can be easily cleaned with a soft sponge moistened with water and neutral soap. The decorative Effects described below can be achieved both with VALRENNA Soft and with VALRENNA Extra Soft, with the difference that in the Extra Soft version, VALRENNA is even softer, more yielding to the touch and in greater relief. VALRENNA can be applied to many types of surface, such as walls in cement, plaster, plaster of Paris, plasterboard and wood, after a suitable treatment has been applied. CHARACTERISTICS: To obtain the colours in the catalogue, simply mix VALRENNA carefully with the appropriate quantity of COLORI’ colouring paste, as described under each colour sample. This colour-mixing must be performed without fail, even for the PRIMER 400 base coat. COLORI’ is supplied in 80 ml and 480 ml applicators (suitably graduated), which allow delivery of the correct quantity of product and so enable the chosen colour to be obtained. APPLICATION: 1) Buckskin Effect: Spread the VALRENNA with a brush in criss-cross fashion, with small brush-strokes going in all directions. After about 5 - 6 hours at 20°C, apply the second coat of VALRENNA, using the same procedure as described above. To obtain the Buckskin Effect, VALRENNA must be diluted 10 - 20% with water. 2) Shantung Effect: Spread and distribute the VALRENNA well with a short-haired roller in strips about 1 metre wide and 1 - 2 metres high. Immediately afterwards, while the product is still wet, brush the VALRENNA from top to bottom and vice versa with the PV 88 special brush so as to create streaks similar to Shantung fabric. To deacorate corners and areas that are difficult to reach, the smaller PV 89 brush may be used. After about 5 - 6 hours at 20°C, apply the second coat of VALRENNA, using the same technique as above. To obtain the Shantung Effect, VALRENNA must be diluted 20 - 30% with water. 3) Linen Effect: Spread and distribute the VALRENNA well with a short-haired roller in strips about 1 metre wide and 1 - 2 metres high. Immediately afterwards, while the product is still wet, brush the VALRENNA from top to bottom and vice versa with the PV 88 special brush. To decorate corners and areas that are difficult to reach, the smaller PV 89 brush may be used. After about 5 - 6 hours at 20°C, apply the second coat of VALRENNA, and while the product is still wet, brush horizontally from right to left and vice versa so as to create streaks similar to linen fabric. To obtain the Linen Effect, VALRENNA must be diluted 20 - 30% with water. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: 4) Plaster of Paris, plasterboard, wood and iron. Clean well, degrease where necessary. On iron surfaces, if appropriate, apply one or two coats of WIKTOR water-based anti-rust primer. Fill the damaged areas, and when the filler is dry, sand the surface to make it smooth. Then, using a short-haired roller, apply two coats of PRIMER 400, colour-mixed and diluted 10 - 30% with water, waiting about 6 hours at 20°C between the first and second coats. About 12 hours at 20°C after the application of the second coat pf PRIMER 400, carry out the VALRENNA application cycle as described in points 1, 2 and 3, according to the aesthetic Effect which you wish to obtain. 5) Weak or dusty supports needing repair. Sand, remove all poorly-anchored coatings, wash with water and a suitable soap, and when the surface is dry fill where necessary. Then, using a short-haired roller, apply two coats of PRIMER 400, colour-mixed and diluted 10 - 30% with water, waiting about 6 hours at 20°C between the first and second coats. About 12 hours at 20°C after the application of the second coat pf PRIMER 400, apply VALRENNA as described in points 1, 2 and 3, according to the Effect which you wish to obtain.

VALRENNA is a product that is particularly sensitive to the way it is applied and it is therefore recommended that the work is started and completed by the same person, in order to avoid differences in effect and colour. N.B: The information provided here is, to the best of our knowledge, correct and accurate. However, considering that the conditions in which the products are used are not under our control, we will not be held liable for any recommendations or advice given. We recommend that the complete application cycle is tested on a small wall first in order to ensure it is a success, after which the rest of the decoration procedure may be completed (check the decorative effects regularly as you proceed). Shades may vary compared with to the catalogue, by between 20% and 30% from one batch to another and it is therefore advisable to carry out a small test before commencing the work. The manufacturer and the distributor do not assume any responsibility for possible variations between batches, or in cases where the batch number is illegible. In case these batches are different, it is advisable to mix all the material in a large container before beginning the application process, in order to avoid differences in colour once the product has been applied. In order to work quickly and to achieve the effects shown in this catalogue, we advise the use of the equipment we have recommended.
