Under typical Kenyan atmospheric conditions, Sadolin Weathershield Primer delivers a theoretical coverage of 10 - 12 m²/L per coat with a touch-dry time of 1 Hour and a recoat interval of 4 Hours. Thorough substrate preparation is essential: ensure all receiving surfaces are structurally sound, dry, free of oil, grease, mill scale, fungal growth, or loose friable matter. When treating timber, verify that wood moisture content does not exceed 15% and remove surface glaze by mechanical sanding along the natural grain. On mineral masonry or cement renders, neutralise fresh plaster alkalinity with a compatible primer prior to application to avoid film saponification and ensure lasting adhesion.

Sadolin Weathershield Primer provides a theoretical coverage rate of 10 - 12 m²/L per coat. Actual practical coverage on Kenyan sites typically varies between 10% and 20% depending on substrate porosity, timber texture, surface profile, application technique (brush, roller, or airless spray), and environmental conditions such as midday wind and sun exposure.
Ensure receiving surfaces are completely dry, sound, clean, and free of oil, grease, wax, dust, and loose materials. On timber surfaces, ensure moisture content is below 15% and sand along the grain using 120-grit followed by 180-grit abrasive paper before dusting off. On masonry, cure fresh plaster for at least 28 days and apply an alkali-resistant primer. On structural metal, wire-brush or blast loose rust to Sa 2.5 standards and prime with an anti-corrosive primer.
Under standard Kenyan climatic conditions (approx. 25°C and 50% relative humidity), Sadolin Weathershield Primer achieves a touch-dry state in 1 Hour and can be safely overcoated after 4 Hours. Allow 8 Hours for full film cure. Low temperatures or high relative humidity (such as during coastal morning mists or highland rainy seasons) will extend these intervals.
