PROCESSING
Dura-add may be added undiluted to aqueous masonry coatings and primers either during after manufacture. We recommend adding 1 wt % to masonry coatings and 5 wt % to primers.
Dura-add may also be thinned with water for use a water-repellent primer on material substrates and as a water repellent for in-plant manufactured insulation materials.
Dura-add can also serves as a water-repellent primer, in which case it should be diluted 1: 9 parts by weight with water. When such primers are required to strengthen the substrate, we recommend adding polymer dispersion in hydrosol form. For the impregnation of insulating materials, we recommend diluting Dura-add with water in the ratio 1: 100 to1: 200 parts by weight.

sTORAGE
Dura-add has a shelf life of at least 9 months when stored between 0 °C and 30 °C in the tightly closed original container. The ‘Best use before end’ date of each batch appears on the product label.
If the material is kept beyond the shelf life recommended on the product label it is not necessarily unusable, but a quality control should be performed on the properties relevant to the application.
