Resene Broadwall 3 in 1 Ranchsliders, massive windows, super smooth finishes and monolithic walls are a headache for many causing critical light conditions and less than perfect finishes on walls as the glancing light shines a spotlight on any surface imperfections. Often the problem is only evident for a short period each day when the light is at a certain angle. The situation is made worse when the level of finish is insufficient, such as a Level 4 finish when a Level 5 finish is needed. To achieve a Level 5 finish the entire surface of the paperfaced plasterboard and stopping should be skimcoated. This can be achieved by brush or roller with Resene Broadwall Surface Prep or by specialist spray application with Resene Broadwall 3 in 1. Resene Broadwall 3 in 1 is designed for use over stopped and jointed wall systems in place of traditional surfacers and sealers. It equalises surface porosities; smoothes minor surface irregularities; minimises textural differences. A key element to achieving a Level 5 finish on paperfaced plasterboard. Suitable for use as a surfacer, sealer, and finish coat on ceilings in dry areas tinted to a range of popular Resene off-white and neutral colours. Voted best new product by the Master Painters NZ in 2007. Typical uses: Air-dry (polymer based) stoppings and finishing compounds, gypsum based stoppings and finishing compounds, paperfaced plasterboard (GIB®, Gyprock®), timber and reconstituted timber products. |

Resene Brushable Crack Filler When hairline cracks strike they destroy the striking good looks of the paint finish. Simple application of multiple coats of elastomeric Resene Brushable Crack Filler across the crack will resolve the imperfection and banish it from view with a minimum of fuss. Elastomeric Resene Brushable Crack Filler is a convenient way to deal with small cracks in concrete buildings, which may still be cyclically moving up to 25%. It is designed to handle cracks up to a maximum of 2mm wide before overcoating with the recommended paint system. Simple application of multiple coats of Resene Brushable Crack Filler across the crack will resolve the imperfection and banish it from view with a minimum of fuss. Typical uses: Cementitious surfaces. |

Resene Limelock Resene Limelock is a preparatory coating used for the curing and sealing of cementitious substrates. It promotes curing by producing a water barrier, which unlike traditional curing membranes, may be overcoated with waterborne finishes at any stage. Its ability to cure and seal the substrate eliminates the need to leave the plaster to cure for seven days before painting. It may be applied by the plasterer to promote cure or by the painter who wants to ensure the surface is sealed. When dark, heat absorbing topcoats are planned, it is still prudent to wait seven days before painting. Resene Limelock traps free lime in the cementitious substrate protecting the paint finish against the appearance of unsightly lime staining, and providing a perfect base for subsequent Resene finishes. Resene Limelock is designed to be overcoated. It is considered part of the surface preparation process and should be applied as soon as possible over plaster systems to achieve maximum potential. Typical uses: Cementitious surfaces, including concrete, render, stucco and thin layer polymer modified plaster. |

Resene Acrylic Undercoat Resene Acrylic Undercoat is an easy brushing, quick, hard drying undercoat with exceptional flow and sanding characteristics. While specifically designed for maximum benefit under waterborne enamels, such as Resene Enamacryl and Resene Lustacryl, Resene Acrylic Undercoat tinted to the correct colour is ideal for use under a wide range of waterborne and solventborne topcoats to improve the hiding of the paint system. Resene Acrylic Undercoat gives all the hiding benefits associated with Resene Enamel Undercoat combined with the advantages of being waterborne, such as easy clean up in water, lower odour and therefore the desirability of using it with both acrylic and enamel topcoats. Suitable for interior and exterior use, it can be used in most paint systems as a substitute for Resene Enamel Undercoat. For a consistent undercoat solution from solventborne to waterborne, Resene Enamel Undercoat and Resene Acrylic Undercoat, use a varishade colour system to provide the right basecoat for any shade. This helps provide the chosen topcoat with enhanced obliteration. Available in white and varishade tone there are six options including white and five varishades which grow steadily darker or higher in value moving from 1 to 5. White is tinted to the three palest shades while the varishade tone is tinted to reach the two deepest shades. For optimum effect, CoolColour topcoats should use a white Resene Acrylic Undercoat or white primer only. Choosing which varishade to use is recommended through the Resene e-tint colour formulation system. Bright accent colours such as bright reds, yellows and oranges tend to use a slightly lighter varishade than you may expect. Typical uses: All exterior and interior prepared surfaces, block and brickwork, cement plasters, cloth and woven wallcoverings, fibre and particle board, furniture, paperfaced plasterboard (GIB®, Gyprock®), repaint old work, timber (including Matai, Spotted Gum and Totara), wallboards, wallpaper. |

Resene SpaceCote Flat Fly Deterrent Resene SpaceCote Flat Fly Deterrent brings style toughness to broadwall areas, allowing you to get a desirable flat finish without sacrificing durability. It is designed to discourage flies from sitting on areas painted with this product minimising the appearance of fly spots and keeping the paint finish looking its best for longer. Extensive testing by an accredited laboratory has shown significant reductions in the number and size of fly spots compared to standard paint systems. Musca domestica, the housefly, is a well known cosmopolitan pest responsible for transporting disease carrying organisms and damaging surfaces. When resting, adults regurgitate a liquid that results in spots on the surface combined with other darker spots, both of which can be difficult to remove without damaging the paint surface. The flies are inactive at night and tend to congregate on ceiling areas. The less flies sit, the fewer and smaller the fly spotting. Resene SpaceCote Flat Fly Deterrent combines all the benefits and performance of Resene SpaceCote with the added bonus of reduced fly spotting. Available exclusively from Resene in white and a wide range of colours off white. Typical uses: Architraves, ceilings, plywood, skirtings, wallboards, window frames. |

Resene Clearcoat UVS Bright colours used outside are prone to fading in the harsh sun. Protect these more vulnerable colours with Resene Clearcoat UVS, a gloss clear finish based on a unique waterborne emulsion for ease of application and maximum life over prepainted surfaces. We all know how damaging UV light can be. On hot summer days, human skin will burn in less than 10 minutes, at which time most of us will rush away to a nice patch of shade. Exterior paintwork does not have this luxury as it is left outside to withstand relentless UV light from the day it is applied. UV light gradually breaks down vulnerable pigments in the final topcoat resulting in a faded paint finish. Bright organic hues, such as reds, oranges, yellows and purples, are more prone to this than hues based on durable oxides. To help protect exterior painted surfaces from colour fade, Resene Clearcoat UVS is formulated with UV absorbers to filter out harmful UV light, protecting the underlying coloured coat. Ideally suited for direct application to freshly painted bright organic hues and shades to aid colour retention by protecting these more vulnerable pigments against fading. While Resene Clearcoat UVS is not designed for use on working joinery, such as windows and doors, as it is a waterborne finish, its outstanding flexibility over timber makes it suitable for use on weatherboards. It has excellent adhesion to Resene topcoats and can be easily overcoated at a later date with other Resene waterborne paints. This product has replaced Resene Sun Defier. While Resene Clearcoat UVS is the ideal product to protect against colour fade, if the colour chosen is prone to chalking rather than fading, Resene Concrete Clear is the recommended product to use. Typical uses: All exterior waterborne acrylic coated surfaces except working joinery. |

Resene Colorwood Resene Colorwood is an exciting way of treating natural timbers and enhancing the grain. Gives coloured timbers with the see-through look as it allows the natural grain of all timbers to show through. All colours can be intermixed, allowing you to create your own colours – always keep a note of any intermix recipes so you can recreate them if you need more. The finished colour is influenced by the timber colour itself, the denseness of the timber and the length of time the stain is left before the excess is wiped off. Always test Resene Colorwood on a small off-cut of timber to ensure the desired colour is being achieved. Strong colours may be difficult to achieve on hardwood and heart timbers due to lack of penetration. If the selected colour is too strong, reduce with Resene Colorwood Reducing Base. Resene Colorwood is very easy to apply by brush or rag. For best results, wipe excess Resene Colorwood off with a dry, absorbent, lint free cloth, rubbing along the grain. This also ensures maximum adhesion of topcoats. Overcoating is recommended to ensure the timber is protected and to maximise the longevity of the finish. Resene Colorwood is easily overcoated with Resene Aquaclear, Resene Qristal ClearFloor 1K, Resene Qristal Polyurethanes or Resene Polythane. Typical uses: Canework, cork, doors, dressed and rough sawn timber, fibre and particle board, furniture, kitset and nursery furniture, panelling, rope, timber (imported and native), timber ceilings and beams, window and door frames. |

Resene Waterborne Woodsman Sick of faded stained weatherboards or drab timber finishes? Neither does justice to any home or project exterior and they can both easily be remedied by the application of Resene Waterborne Woodsman. Resene Waterborne Woodsman is an exterior wood stain designed to colour timber, while still allowing the natural grain of the timber to show through. It is an easy way to add colour to new or previously stained timber without losing its natural beauty. Designed for exterior timber in a wide range of colours. Decorators will enjoy the quick and easy water clean up and the absence of the solvent fumes and VOCs associated with traditional solventborne stains. Easy to apply with minimal surface preparation required. Formulated with powerful fungicides for improved mould resistance. Stains are transparent, so the final finish colour will depend on the nature of the timber being stained. Stains applied to light woods will appear much stronger and brighter in colour than stains applied to dark wood. As with any finishing project – regardless of the products being used – always go through the entire finishing process using scraps from the project before committing to the colour. Preferred colours can be easily tested on a representative piece of wood using Resene Waterborne Woodsman testpots. Resene does not recommend clear stains on exterior timber as they do not provide sufficient protection for the timber against the weather. If you'd like a clear style finish we recommend you choose a stain colour close to your natural timber stain colour to provide protection and a look in keeping with the original. Typical uses: Beams, fences, plywood and profiled sheets, timber - dressed and rough sawn, weatherboards. New formula version can be used on exterior wooden furniture. |

Resene Waterborne Woodsman CoolColour™ Resene Waterborne Woodsman is a waterborne woodstain matching the needs of timber to the desire to achieve the most natural appearance possible. Resene CoolColour technology performs optimally on dark colours that are the most prone to heat build-up. Designed for exterior timber in a wide range of colours. Resene does not recommend clear stains on exterior timber as it does not provide sufficient protection for the timber against the weather. Easy to apply with minimal surface preparation required. Formulated with powerful fungicides for improved mould resistance. Like pigmented CoolColour hues, Resene Waterborne Woodsman CoolColour finishes retain their normal visible colour but reflect heat from the surface, reducing stress on the coating and substrate and subsequent heat related damage improving the longevity of each. The technology also minimises build up of unwanted heat in the building reducing airconditioning and cooling costs. In short, the colour looks the same as normal but reflects much more heat than normal so doesn't get as hot as the standard colour would. Those who remember the introduction of the then new Cricket NZ black shirts will remember discussions of the new technology that stopped the shirts absorbing the heat a black shirt normally would, a heat that would be unbearable for cricket players. Resene CoolColour paint technology works on a similar premise, but instead of protecting cricketer's backs Resene CoolColour technology protects houses and buildings instead. Resene CoolColour technology is generally best suited to colours that have black in their make-up as these tend to absorb the most heat. Typical uses: Beams, fences, plywood and profiled sheets, timber - dressed and rough sawn, weatherboards. New formula version can be used on exterior wooden furniture. |

Resene X-300E Resene X-300E is a thixotropic weathertight membrane designed for thick application over cracked concrete surfaces. Thixotropic means it is a coating material that, while free-flowing and easy to manipulate under the brush, sets to a gel within a short time when it is allowed to remain at rest. It is made using acrylic elastomers that have excellent 'memory' of their original shape when distorted, which gives the product incredible movement and crack bridging capabilities, enabling it to bridge gaps up to half the thickness of the paint film. Resene X-300E performs well over badly cracked and deteriorating substrates and is therefore recommended over propagating cracks - that is, when cracks are getting worse and/or new ones are appearing. The coating, when specified at the correct dry film thickness, has unique crack bridging properties and any movement of cracks beneath the coating layer does not result in film fracture, which means it's ideally suited for structures that will flex and develop minor cracks. This product will resolve many less than perfect substrates, but is not recommended on very poor substrates. It is able to be applied at very high thicknesses without sagging or film cracking. Resene X-300E protects flexing structures from concrete carbonisation by maintaining a seal over the micro cracks that develop. Resene X-300E has a semi-gloss finish but like all elastomeric coatings is more prone to dirt pickup than standard coatings. This may be easily overcome with a final coat of a standard waterborne topcoat such as Resene Lumbersider or Resene X-200 weathertight membrane. Resene X-300E replaces Resene Flexicover. Typical uses: Concrete road bridges, high rise concrete buildings, all other cementitious surfaces. |

Resene X-400 Resene X-400 is an ultra high build weathertight membrane, with superior small void and crack filling properties, designed for thick application over concrete surfaces. It's designed as a weathertight and an anti-carbonisation membrane and may be applied at very high thicknesses without sagging or film cracking. Resene X-400 can be textured using a texturing roller sleeve to give a light to medium rolled texture where surface imperfections in the concrete are to be disguised, with a standard roller for a less textured finish or by spray. With Resene X-400 you get the dual benefits of texture and weathertightness in one product combined with better washability and reduced dirt pickup compared to elastomeric coatings. Shows similar characteristics to the industry yardstick Resene X-200 in terms of adhesion, ease of application and durability. Replaces Resene Thixalon 5. Typical uses: All cementitious surfaces, concrete, blockwork, fibre cement sheeting, solid plaster and on cracked substrates where weathertightness is required. Brushed into small cracks it will prevent moisture entering the damaged substrate. |

Crown roof paints are designed to give a quick drying, durable, high-gloss finish on new primed or previously painted roofs. Good surface preparation is critical to maximise the life of your roof paint system. Clean down all surfaces using Resene Roof and Metal Wash, a concentrated pre-treatment for all new and old unpainted galvanised roofing and a general cleaner for previously painted surfaces including roofing. Wash down with a copious amount of freshwater.
Use Resene Membrane Roofing Primer for all sheet rubber roofing systems and bituminous surfaces.
Handy tip: A good rule-of-thumb for calculating the quantity of roof paint required is: your project's footprint area plus about 40% (allows for roof pitch, corrugations, soffit overhang, etc). Trough section roofing can require significantly more. Typically a complete roof paint system requires surface preparation using Resene Roof Wash and Paint Cleaner, one coat of primer and two coats of topcoat at the recommended coverage rate on the cans.

In response to growing concerns over VOC emissions, the Environmental Choice programme focuses on the need to reduce these emissions. Solventborne paints release significantly more VOCs per litre than waterborne paints, spurring Resene chemists to develop waterborne replacements for solventborne products. Today, less than 8% of the decorative paint sold by Resene is solventborne, while the average per litre VOC levels of Resene decorative paint sales have dropped by over 90% in the last two decades, clearly demonstrating Resene's commitment to proactively develop and launch environmentally preferable waterborne technologies to the market. Resene offers an extensive range of low VOC and no added VOC paints, coatings, stains/primers and sealers, including no added VOC tinters.
Resene metal packaging includes recycled material and is printed using U.V. inks and varnishes ensuring energy savings and no emissions. A selection of Resene product label artwork is available from this section and is provided as a handy reference. The label on a pack you purchase may differ depending on the age of the stock you are purchasing and when the pack changes over to the newer label artwork. Resene paper labels are printed on environmentally responsible paper, which complies with the requirements of environmental management systems EMAS and ISO14001, using vegetable inks. Resene prints brochures, flyers etc on sustainable paper stocks wherever possible. When you download some pdf files from this website they will refer to being printed on sustainable paper stock. This is because they are an electronic copy of what we distribute to our customers.
