Product Specification

PPG Break-Through! is an ultra-durable waterborne acrylic enamel with excellent flow and leveling, outstanding early block resistance and very fast dry. It can be used for interior/exterior applications and on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. Ideal for use on doors, windows, trim & cabinetry; shelving, fixtures, railings; concrete floors & safety markings, in residential, commercial and institutional settings. PPG Break-Through! offers excellent adhesion to difficult substrates,
including fiberglass, ceramic tile, laminate, and architectural plastics and endures extreme bends and deformation without cracking or peeling.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Surface must be clean and dry. Remove all loose, peeling paint, dirt, mildew, grease, oil, chalk, rust, and any other surface contaminants. Blistering and peeling issues are commonly caused by moisture behind the paint film. Problems leading to excessive moisture in the substrate must be repaired prior to painting. Putty all nail holes and caulk all cracks and open seams. Sand all glossy, rough, and patched surfaces. Plaster, concrete, and masonry surfaces must be completely dry, free of efflorescence, and allowed to cure for 30 days prior to painting. When applied to an uncoated substrate or to bare wood, two coats are required with the first coat acting as the primer. For exterior ferrous metal, tannin staining woods,
fresh concrete or masonry (less than 30 days cure), or chalky surfaces, use of an appropriate specialty primer is recommended for best results.

APPLICATION

Stir thoroughly before using and occasionally when in use. When using more than one can of the same color, intermix to ensure color uniformity.

Application Equipment: Apply with a high-quality brush, roller, paint pad, or by spray equipment. During application, it is important to maintain a wet edge due to the quick dry of the product. Rinse brush with warm water periodically during extended brush application. Two coats are recommended for maximum durability.

Airless Spray: For airless spray application, use tip size .009" - .013" (fine finish tip) and a pressure range of 1500 to 2000 psi. Spray equipment must be handled with due care and in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendation. High-pressure injection of coatings into the skin by airless equipment may cause serious injury.
