Technical Data Sheet
RXM Texture Coat


The RXM Texture coat is a durable and decorative interior acrylic latex coating. The texture coat can be applied to drywall, plaster, wood, cement block, masonite, tile and metal. Note: rough surfaces may need to be primed and skim coated to achieve a smooth surface before the application of the RXM texture coat. RXM Texture coat is formulated using modern acrylic chemistry and contains no clay, plaster, or cement compounds. It remains flexible when cured making it resistant to cracking.

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 (30-60days) before coating. All masonry surfaces must be thoroughly brushed with stiff fiber bristles to remove loose particles. TM Pratt offers a number of specialty primers for use over difficult substrates such as bleeding woods, hard glossy surfaces, galvanized metal, or other substrates where paint adhesion or stain suppression is a particular problem. Contact the company for options.


PRIMER/FINISH SYSTEMS
Depending on substrate conditions and finish look desired, there are many options. See the company’s installation manual or marketing materials for more details.


APPLICATION
RXM Texture coat is installed by commercial painting contractors that have been trained in the application of the company’s products. The application of the RXM Texture coat must be done as described in the company’s printed installation manual.


COVERAGE
50-100 square feet per gallon. Depending on previous color, surface porosity, and texture coverage can vary greatly. Coverage is also varied by the desired texture look. See the installation manual for details or contact the company for more information.
