Mapei Colorite Performance is resistant to all climatic conditions and the aggressive attack of smog, salt and sunlight, providing long-lasting protection to well-cured cementitious, lime or gypsum based surfaces. Colorite Performance is extremely durable, has good water repellence and permeability to vapour. Colourite Performance bonds well to all types of renders and to old, well-bonded paintwork.
Colorite Performance provides an attractive, smooth, silky, finish and can be tinted to a range of colours using the ColorMap automatic colouring system.
Mapei Colorite Performance can be used on internal and external surfaces; on brickwork, cementitious, lime or gypsum based substrates; over old paint, plastic or mineral coatings which are well bonded to the substrate. Colorite Performance is suitable for use over other Mapei products such as Malech, Quarzolite Base Coat and Dursilite Base Coat.
Preparation of the substrate
New surfaces or surfaces which have been patched-up with repair mortar must be well cured, perfectly clean, sound and dry. Remove all traces of oil and grease and parts which are not well-attached from the surface. Seal any cracks which are present in the substrate and repair the parts which are in poor condition. Seal porosity and level uneven areas of the substrate with mortar and smoothing compounds from the MAPEI building products line. Apply a coat of Mapei Malech (ready-to-use) and leave it to dry for 12-24 hours before applying Colorite Performance. If a colour with poor covering characteristics is used, apply Quarzolite Base Coat or, in case of interior application, use colour-coordinated Dursilite Base Coat instead of Mapei Malech.
Preparation of the product
Dilute Colorite Performance with 10-15% water, making sure that it is well mixed together. If possible, use a low-speed drill to help with mixing. If only a part of the product is to be prepared, mix Colorite Performance as is in its original container before pouring off the quantity required.
Application of the product
Colorite Performance is applied using traditional methods with a brush, a roller, by air-spraying or with an airless spray gun system on top of a coat of dry Mapei Malech primer or Quarzolite Base Coat or Dursilite Base Coat. The protection cycle comprises the application of at least two coats of Colorite Performance with a recoat time of 12-24 hours, according to humidity and temperature and, in any case, when the previous coat is completely dry.
