Super Siscolux
Sissons Super Siscolux is premium quality emulsion paint that dries to a smooth, attractive matt finish and suitable for use on all interior and exterior masonry wall substrates.
Surface
Surface preparation should be properly carried out before application. All loose, flaking, chalking or friable materials should be removed. Make good any defects and ensure that the substrate is clean and free from contaminants, such as oil, grease, grime and fungal growth.
For new surfaces, ensure that the substrate is sufficiently dry (below 16% moisture) prior to paint application.
For redecoration, ensure that the previous coating is in good condition, otherwise remove via water-jet and/or scraping then treat as per new surface.
