Description

Dekguard Filler, an external quality filler is based on acrylic

resin and fine fillers.
It has been specially developed for use with the Dekguard
concrete protection system.

If Dekguard Primer* or Nitoprime DG* is to be used it must

be applied prior to applying Dekguard Filler. Dekguard Filler
should be tightly trowelled onto the prepared surface ensuring
that all pin holes and defects are completely filled to produce
a smooth even finish. It is essential that the material is well
worked into the surface in order to ensure maximum adhesion
and minimum thickness. Dekguard Filler can be applied to
existing coatings. The surface of the existing coating has to
be cleaned and abraded. In order to determine if Dekguard
Filler is compatible with the existing coating it may be
necessary to carry out adhesion tests.
Excellent adhesion of the topcoat will be achieved provided
that the Dekguard Filler surface is not contaminated. Where
contamination does occur, e.g. from general dust or cement
debris, then this should be removed prior to overcoating.
