Technical Characteristics

PALLAS by OIKOS is an even colour, silk finish, decorative paint that is characterised by the varying reflections that change depending on the intensity of the light. PALLAS satisfies the most sophisticated decorative needs, rekindling the antique splendour of wall tapestries that once adorned the interiors of the most luxurious villas. The product is water based and is composed of high-tech resins that make it washable and give it sanitising properties. It is odourless, nontoxic, non-flammable and environmentally friendly.

Ideal Use

Decoration of walls, indoor furniture, any laminated surface, P.V.C., metal and wood.

Surface Preparation

Clean the surface thoroughly and remove any loose material; fill in holes or cracks and render the wall perfectly smooth. Apply two coats of SUPERCOLOR by OIKOS in the colour indicated in the colour chart.

In case of substrates such as: zinc sheets, laminates and other materials with smooth surfaces, clean and degrease the surface with appropriate products; apply a coat of special fixative FUNGRAP by OIKOS, on new wood apply NOVALIS FILLING AGENT by OIKOS; followed appy only one coat of SUPERCOLOR by OIKOS.

Application Method

First coat: spray the product on the surface directing the gun from right to left and vice-versa first, and then from top to bottom and vice-versa without any interruption between the direction change. Set the nozzle horizontally when spraying from left to right and set it vertically when spraying from top to bottom. The crossing of the spray jets determines a uniform application of the product.

Second coat: once the first coat has dried, 3 ÷ 4 hours after its application, repeat the same procedure as per the first coat.
