Presence of uniform cracks in the surface of Recol® Travertino. These cracks generally do not expose the substrate in the base.
Posible causes
Natural aging of the paint film due to fluctuations of temperature. Constant expansion and contraction gives as a result the loss of elasticity of the paint film and consequently it cracks.
Very hard coats are applied on a very flexible substrate, for instance, plastic.
Coats of product are applied with high final thickness.
The product is applied on sheen or smooth surfaces.
Direct and quick drying of the film of travertino.
Solutions
Sand the surface or shiny coats before painting.
Follow the recommendations related to dry, harden and retouch time for Recol®
Travertino.
In cracked surfaces, sand and apply new product in very thin layers to smooth the finish.
