Yes. MTX Usage Guidelines and MTX Storage & Handling Guidelines are available on the website.
Yes. Coating systems are available on our website. Only these certified systems can be recommended for MEDITE EXTERIOR and MEDITE TRICOYA EXTREME. If a customer wants to use a different system, they must take responsibility for its performance. Usage Guidelines must be followed.
Moisture ingress behind a coating system can lead to small blisters or crystalline deposits appearing on the board. This can usually be identified by the appearance of ‘tide marks’ on the board. Should this occur the board can be successfully refurbished by the removal of the existing coating and re-application. Our guidelines for doing this can be found here.
