TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Raised Texture Coat
The RXM Raised Texture Coat is a durable and decorative interior acrylic
latex coating. RXM Raised
Texture Coat can be applied to: drywall, plaster, cement block, wood,
masonite tile, and metal. Note:
block, tile, wood, plaster, or other rough surfaces may need to be skim-coated
to achieve a smooth
surface prior to the application of RXM Raised Texture Coat. RXM Raised
Texture Coat is based on modern acrylic chemistry and contains no clay,
plaster, or cement compounds.
It remains slightly flexible when cured, making it resistant to cracking
as the moisture content of the wall
decreases over time.
RECOMMENDED USES
RXM Raised Texture coat is a spray-applied, interior, acrylic-textured
wall coating for walls/ceilings. It is installed by factory-trained applicators,
and is cost-competitive and durable.
RXM Raised Texture Coat was designed to replace wallpaper and paint and
it won't tear or trap moisture or mildew.
It is available in any color or combination of colors, and a variety of
different texture finishes.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry, and free of wax, grease, dust,
mildew, water soluble materials, and scaling paint. Glossy areas should
be dulled. New plaster or masonry surfaces must be allowed to cure (30-60)
days before coating. All masonry surfaces must be thoroughly brushed with
stiff fiber bristles to remove loose particles. Difficult Substrates:
TM Pratt & Company offers a number of specialty primers for use over
difficult substrates such as bleeding woods, grease, crayon markings,
hard glossy surfaces, galvanized metal, or other substrates where paint
adhesion or stain suppression is a particular problem. TM Pratt &
Company can recommend the right problem-solving primer for your special
needs.
PRIMER/FINISH SYSTEMS
Depending on substrate and the desired finished look, there are many options.
For a detailed description of these options please see the company's installation
manual and marketing brochure.
