Product Description

Vira-Protect is a water based anti viral and anti microbial paint suitable for commercial and residential buildings. It is ideal for areas with high foot traffic, such as walls in corridors, stairwells and lift lobbies. Vira-Protect is available in a smooth and durable matt or satin finish.

Some viruses have a shell that protects their cores while outside of a body, allowing them to survive on surfaces. Vira-Protect contains silver micro particles with naturally charged silver ions that burst virus shells and damage the nucleus DNA.

This anti microbial paint has received certification for 91.5% reduction in Human Coronavirus after 2 hours, 99.3% reduction in E-coli after 4 hours and a 99.9% reduction in other bacteria after 24 hours. It also meets and exceeds the requirements of Health Building Note 00-10 Part B Walls and Ceilings.

The paint works by containing solid biocidal nano-particles throughout the paint. These provide long term protection against bacteria and viruses, creating a more hygienic environment in an indoor space.

In addition to the health benefits provided by the paint, it can be supplied in a wide range of RAL and BS colours. The matt and satin finishes available allow the existing appearance of a room to be matched, while improving the hygiene quality.

Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. Before you begin ensure the area is free from any dust, oil, grease, old coatings and surface contaminants.

The preparation of steelwork prior to painting generally falls into two main areas; that of degreasing and the removal of rust and scale.
All surfaces to be painted should be clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material, dust, grease and millscale, etc.
Prime bare surfaces with Palatine Anti-Corrosive Metal Primer or Palatine All Purpose Primer / Undercoat in accordance with our recommendations
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Fast Dry etching primer.
Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.

Mixing
Stir the paint with a drill stirrer or wooden baton at least 2” wide. Continue to stir during application.

Application
Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.

Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces and a long pile roller on textured surfaces
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 10% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume applying thin coats allowing each one to dry before applying subsequent coats.
Once dried, a second coat can be applied at full strength. This will prolong the life and performance of the coating.

Thinning and Cleaning: Use Palatine White Spirit.

If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix before use

Preceding Coat
Prime bare surfaces with Palatine Anti-Corrosive Metal Primer or Palatine All Purpose Primer / Undercoat in accordance with our recommendations
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Mordant Solution.

Subsequent Coat
A second coat is recommended for maximum protection.
