MPN: TTDUR01GB

Barcode: 3178310018804

Size: 1L

Colour: Colourless

Overview:

Toupret Wall Hardener Decorating Masonry Surface Stabiliser is a penetrating, stabilising hardener that binds and hardens loose or powdery substrates. It improves the adhesion of fillers and coatings on both interior and exterior surfaces. Ready to use straight from the tin, it requires no mixing and applies by brush or roller for a fast, simple process.

The product penetrates deeply into absorbent substrates, binding loose particles and creating a sound base for overcoating. It can be applied over distemper and remains moisture vapour permeable after application. Coverage is approximately 8m² per litre, depending on substrate porosity.

Once applied, the surface can be painted or filled within 24 hours under normal conditions. The product carries an A+ Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) classification and is guaranteed for 12 months from purchase, when stored in its original packaging away from sunlight and frost.

Key Features and Benefits

• Penetrating formula: Binds and hardens loose, soft, or powdery substrates quickly and effectively.
• Improved adhesion: Strengthens the bond between fillers, paints, and wall coatings and the treated surface.
• Interior and exterior use: Suitable for application on both internal and external surfaces.
• Ready to use: No mixing required - apply straight from the tin.
• Moisture vapour permeable: Allows the substrate to breathe after application.
• Colourless finish: Leaves a satin appearance on the treated surface without substantially altering its tone.
• Overcoatable in 24 hours: Paint or apply filler the following day under normal conditions.
• Distemper compatible: Can be applied directly over distemper-painted surfaces.
• Wide substrate range: Works on gypsum plaster, plasterboard, cement, concrete, brick, stone, porous tiles, and renders.
• A+ IAQ rating: Very low indoor air emissions classification.
• 12-month guarantee: Guaranteed for 12 months from purchase in original packaging, stored away from sunlight and frost.
• Coverage: Approximately 8m² per litre, subject to substrate porosity.

Typical Applications

• Stabilising powdery plaster: Hardens deteriorating or chalky plaster walls prior to filling or redecorating.
• Loose surface preparation: Prepares soft, crumbling surfaces before applying fillers or coatings.
• Distemper surface treatment: Provides a sound base on distemper-painted surfaces before redecorating.
• Masonry surface preparation: Treats cement, concrete, brick, and stone surfaces that lack cohesion.
• Porous tile and render treatment: Strengthens absorbent tiles and renders ahead of decoration.
• Exterior wall stabilisation: Treats external walls and facades before applying fillers or paint.
• Plasterboard and drywall priming: Prepares gypsum plasterboard surfaces to improve coating adhesion.

How to Use

• Prepare the surface: Check the surface is absorbent (porous), clean, sound, and dry before you begin. Remove any loose particles or debris.

• Ventilate the area: Open windows and doors to provide good ventilation. Do not smoke or stand near a flame during application.

• Apply the wall hardener: Apply by brush or roller. For exterior use, do not apply if rain is expected within 3 hours of application.

• Allow to dry: Leave the treated surface to dry fully before overcoating. Do not apply at temperatures below 5°C or above 35°C, or where relative humidity exceeds 80%.

• Overcoat: Paint or apply Toupret filler once the surface is dry - typically within 24 hours under normal conditions. Do not overcoat directly with polyurethane or epoxy paint in the solvent phase.

• Clean tools: After use, clean brushes and rollers with methylated spirits. Dispose of unused product and packaging responsibly at your local waste collection centre.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What surfaces can Toupret Wall Hardener be applied to?
  It works on a wide range of absorbent, porous substrates - including gypsum plaster, plasterboard, drywall, cement, concrete, mortars, brick, stone, porous tiles, and renders. The substrate must be dry before application.

• How long does it take before you can paint over Toupret Wall Hardener?
  Under normal conditions (20°C, 50% relative humidity), the treated surface can be overcoated or filled within 24 hours. This may vary based on the substrate, coat thickness, and ambient temperature and humidity.

• Can Toupret Wall Hardener be used on exterior surfaces?
  Yes, it is suitable for both interior and exterior use. Avoid applying outdoors if rain is forecast within 3 hours, and do not apply below 5°C or above 35°C.

• What can be applied over Toupret Wall Hardener once it has dried?
  Once dry, the surface can be overcoated with any Toupret filler, standard paint, or wall coating. Direct overcoating with polyurethane or epoxy paint in the solvent phase is not recommended.

• How much coverage does Toupret Wall Hardener provide?
  Coverage is approximately 8m² per litre. This figure varies depending on the porosity of the substrate - more porous surfaces absorb more product, which reduces the coverage area.
