Description
Super Save-Lite® Alkyd Dry Fall is a modified alkyd, intense white paint for interior use. Overspray dries to a removable dust within eight feet @ 77°F (25°C) and 50% relative humidity.
Material Use:
Super Save-Lite® Alkyd Dryfall is a high-reflectance, flat-finish, modified alkyd coating designed for interior use in commercial, industrial, and institutional environments. It is specifically formulated for spray application where overspray is a concern, as it dries to a removable dust within eight feet under standard conditions. This product is ideal for use in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, gymnasiums, and other large interior spaces where high ceilings and structural elements require coating.
System Components:
Super Save-Lite® Alkyd Dryfall is used as a topcoat in a multi-component system. The system typically includes a substrate-specific primer followed by one or two coats of the Dryfall topcoat. The following primers are recommended based on substrate type:
- Steel: Pro Industrial Pro-Cryl Primer or Kem Bond HS
- Aluminum & Galvanized Metal: DTM Wash Primer
- Concrete Block (CMU): Pro Industrial Heavy Duty Block Filler or Loxon Acrylic Block Surfacer
- Concrete, Masonry, Plaster: Loxon Concrete & Masonry Primer
- Drywall: ProMar 200 Zero VOC Primer
- Wood (Interior): Premium Wall & Wood Primer
Applications:
This product is suitable for use on properly prepared structural steel, galvanized metal, drywall, plaster, concrete, masonry, and wood. It is commonly applied in interior environments such as warehouses, textile mills, manufacturing plants, gymnasiums, and other commercial or institutional buildings where high light reflectance and cleanability are desired.
