Resene Wintergrade Additive Cold conditions can cause standard waterborne paint films to crack or powder and lead to premature paint failure. When using paint over winter, keep an eye on the temperature, both on the surface and in the air. Remember a surface can be a lot colder than the air that surrounds it so you may find it’s best to change your order of work and work on surfaces like plasterboard in the early morning and move to areas like concrete, which tend to be cooler in cold weather until they have had a chance to warm up a little. |

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. Prime the substrate using:
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. |

Design Pine | ||
Resene was approached by Independent Timber Importers (ITI), a leading Australia timber importer, to provide a high quality timber primer for factory application to finger jointed treated pine timber sold under Design Pine branding. The paint industry has long had the ability to produce excellent field applied primers for use over timber, however the history of factory applied primers is plagued with substandard quality and results. Keen to break away from the mediocrity, ITI contracted Resene to develop a primer to add value and quality to the finished product. LOSP treatment of timber is a highly efficient and successful means of treating and protecting cut timber. However, the removal of excess solvents from the process can leave residues of resin acids and waxes on the surface, which may transfer through normal, high quality, solventborne primers causing overcoating problems with waterborne topcoats. Resene have developed a novel method to resolve this problem, incorporated into a high quality primer, marketed under Resene True-Prime and Design Pine Primer brand names. Three years in the development, True-Prime primer has been extensively tested for compatibility with all major Australasian topcoats. It is also now available in the New Zealand market through selected leading timber mills and hardware timber merchants in the distinct pale blue colour, meaning that both sides of the Tasman can also benefit from Resene cut timber primer protection technology. In one year alone, over 1.3 million square metres of surface area were coated in the Resene primer, equating to over 18,000 cubic metres of wood and a staggering 5 million lineal metres. Whichever way you chop the numbers, it's a lot of wood and primer. |
Wood-X |
Wood-X wood oil, designed by Resene for HermanPacific, penetrates deeply into previously uncoated exterior timber products such as Western Red Cedar weatherboards, fascia, boards, beams and mouldings. HermanPacific applies Wood-X direct to Cedar for new residential projects. As with any other wood stain or oil finish, Wood-X needs regular recoating to keep the finish looking good. To make it easy for homeowners to purchase Wood-X for their ongoing maintenance requirements it can be ordered through Resene ColorShops (NZ only). View the Wood-X colour range online. |
