A pre-filled COSHH Assessment Form for Sandtex Trade Stabilising Solution (solvent borne), with some example text reading:

Health risks: Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Exposure to organic solvent vapours above the stated workplace exposure limit may result in adverse effects on the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system.

Skin contact: May cause an allergic skin reaction. Prolonged contact with the skin may have a defatting effect, which can lead to skin irritation, dryness, cracking, and, in some cases, dermatitis.

Eye contact: No known significant effects or critical hazards; however, splashes in the eyes may cause irritation and reversible local damage.

It can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression.

Inhalation: Can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression. May cause headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.

Sandtex Trade Stabilising Solution (solvent-borne) is a high-quality, clear primer specifically designed for exterior use on difficult surfaces such as chalking, weathered, and porous masonry, as well as various building boards. This highly effective primer features a deep-penetrating formula that not only adheres strongly to loose particles but also greatly reduces surface suction, providing an ideal surface for subsequent paint layers.

By applying this innovative single-coat solution, users can effectively stabilise the surface, thereby improving the adhesion of topcoat paints and ensuring long-lasting durability. Additionally, it offers robust protection against the effects of weathering and environmental stressors, including moisture, UV rays, and pollution. This prepares the surface for a superior finish, resulting in a professional-quality painting outcome that endures over time.

Key Features and Uses:

Stabilises Chalky Surfaces: This product effectively treats chalking and weathered surfaces by binding loose, powdery materials, thus preventing deterioration and creating a solid foundation for further treatment.

Controls Suction: It regulates the absorbency of undecorated surfaces, ensuring that they do not excessively draw in paint, which can lead to an uneven finish. This control is crucial for achieving a consistent application.

Primes for Painting: By preparing surfaces, it establishes an optimal base for masonry paint applications, enhancing the overall effectiveness and longevity of the paint job.

Improves Adhesion: This solution significantly enhances the adherence of subsequent decorative coatings. This means that the paint will stick better and last longer, reducing the need for frequent repainting.

Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of exterior masonry surfaces, this product can be applied effectively to rendering, roughcast, pebbledash, and various forms of brickwork, as well as to exterior-grade building boards, making it a go-to solution for different projects.

One-Coat Application: A single application is often all that is needed to stabilise and prepare the surface, streamlining the preparation process and enhancing project efficiency.

Colourless Solution: Its clear formulation ensures that it does not alter the appearance of the decorative finishes applied over it, allowing for the true colour of paints and coatings to shine through.
