Technical Data Sheet 1 EZYCOAT SCRATCH 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm DESCRIPTION AND COMPOSITION Ezycoat Scratch is a highly decorative

trowel-on acrylic coating which has a paste

like consistency comprising of a mixture of

varied grained siliceous powders, inorganic

micronised colouring agents, water based

synthetic acrylic resins in emulsion

combined with a range of other

performance enhancing additives.

USE Ezycoat Scratch has been designed to

produce a highly decorative external

synthetic finish which is suitable for

application to appropriately prepared

rendered or EzySkim Render/ Ezycoat Super 6 surfaces.

When applying Ezycoat Scratch to any

surface it is recommended that the

surfaces be free of any contaminant which

may affect the performance of the coatings

and that any visible imperfections in the

surface which may be transferred through

to the finished surface be patched using

Ezycoat Coarse or Smooth Patch.

(see Ezycoat Coarse Patch and Smooth Patch

Technical Data sheets)

APPLICATION

Once having produced a uniform substrate

by either cement rendering, EzySkim

Render / Ezycoat Super 6 or Ezycoat Patching Compounds, apply a base coat

of Ezycoat HiOpacity Sealer so as to

maintain even coverage. Allow the treated

surface to stand for approximately 1 hour

(See Technical Data Sheet). Then apply

Ezycoat Scratch to the prepared surface

using a Stainless Steel plasterer's trowel,

evenly spreading the paste over the surface.

By striking the surface gently in a vertical

direction with a polystyrene float, a decorative

travertine style finish can be produced. By

working the polystyrene float in a circular

manner rather than vertical, a swirl effect is

achieved.

A finishing coat of Ezycoat Membrane Paint is then applied in accordance with the

Ezycoat Membrane specifications,

approximately 12 hrs after the application of

the Ezycoat Scratch. This will complete the

application process, producing a durable and

aesthetically pleasing finish.
