COVERING OUR CUSTOMERS’ NEEDS SINCE 1908 

REF: B1/2010

Welcome to our 

product catalogue 

It was way back in 1908 when Teal & Mackrill first 

started manufacturing paint, producing marine and 

industrial finishes to the manufacturing & shipbuilding 

industries. 

The company then diversified its range into specialist 

and functional coatings for the decorative & building 

trade under the Coo-Var brand - which is now one of 

the leading names in specialist paint products. 

This brochure has been designed to help you decide 

which product best suits your requirements, and will 

give a detailed account of every item in the range. 

Full technical literature is available for all products. 

For any further information, please call Coo-Var 

Technical Services on +44(0)1482 328 053

Coverage 

The practical spreading rate may be lower as this depends on factors such as the porosity and roughness of the surface to be painted and material losses during application. 

Drying time 

Low temperature and high humidity will adversely affect application, drying and performance of any coating. 

VOC statement 

VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) contribute to atmospheric pollution.

Information 

GENERAL INFORMATION ON PREPARATION AND USING SPECIFIC PRODUCTS 

General guidance on use and preparation is given below but 

full technical, health and safety information and directions are 

available on the tins and data sheets, it is essential that a full 

understanding of the product and its uses is obtained before 

use. 

Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry. 

Smooth surfaces generally benefit from roughening or rubbing 

down prior to painting. Fill and make good any damage. 

Remove loose and flaking materials. With some special 

coatings check any compatibility and temperature/ climate 

issues, (e.g. suitability of the product in certain weather, 

humidity, etc. See guidance in this brochure). Examine the 

area to cover and ensure you have the correct amount of 

material. 

Perform any etching or degreasing required and use fungicidal 

washes if necessary. 

Thoroughly inspect the surface after the preparation to ensure 

everything is clean, dry, repaired and ready to paint 

Priming: Depending on the product and application you may 

need to prime the surface first with a priming coat (sometimes 

thinned) or use a specific primer (e.g. Anticorrosive primers 

on steel, wood primers on wood, stabilisers on masonary or 

sealer coats). A primer will ensure the best performance of the 

top coat. Read the instructions and technical information prior 

to use. 

Finishing: Ensure the primer, if used, is dry. If a 'two pack' 

system is used make sure that you overcoat the primer coat 

within the correct time period. Failure to do this can result in 

the topcoat flaking off the primer. Apply in the correct 

conditions of temperature, climate etc and ensure all the 

necessary health and safety regulations are adhered to. 

Keep to the correct coverage level ensuring the product is not 

applied too thickly, this will impair drying and performance. 

Clean Up: Clean all equipment with the relevant solvent be it 

water or oil based thinners and dispose of any waste in the 

correct way. Do not tip excess paint into the drains or 

watercourses. 

SURFACE PREPARATION OF IRON & STEEL 

Due to the manufacturing and production methods of iron and 

steel they have a surface condition which is not compatible 

with the application of paint coatings. Steel in particular, has a 

dark appearance which results from a surface layer of mill 

scale. 

It is essential to eliminate all traces of mill scale and corrosion 

prior to the application of paints. There are several methods of 

cleaning the surface of rust and scale. 

CHIPPING: Chipping by manual or mechanical means is 

usually in conjunction with wire brushing, but is not suitable 

for preparation of substrates to be overcoated with high 

performance paint systems such as 2 Pack Epoxy High 

Build Coatings. It can be used to remove thick rust scale before 

subsequent blasting or other preparation. 

FLAME CLEANING: Flame Cleaning can be used to remove 

scale but not rust 

WIRE BRUSHING: Wire brushing is a conventional method of 

preparation, usually carried out with rotating or hand wire 

brushes. It is not suitable for the removal of mill scale. The wire 

brushed surfaces are not completely free of corrosion. They 

tend to be polished and contaminated with oil, which decreases 

the adhesion of the priming paint and performance of the paint 

system. Disc sanding is usually required to complete the 

preparation and is even better to start and finish the work. 

SWEEP OR LIGHT BLAST CLEANING: Sweep or light blast 

cleaning is a manual operation to remove any light rust and 

surface contamination from a coated steel surface. 

BLAST CLEANING: Blast cleaning involves forcing a stream of 

abrasive particles at high speed against the surface to be 

prepared. It can either be hand operated or automatic and is 

the best method of preparation. The most common types used 

are centrifugal, compressed air and vacuum blast cleaning. 

Commonly two types are used; "Shot" where the particles are 

mostly spherical and should contain only a minimum of 

irregular shapes and "Grit", where the particles show angularity 

of form and have shape cutting edges. 

Unless otherwise specified, mineral grit should always be used.

GENERAL PROCEDURE WHEN PREPARING TO PAINT A FLOOR 

The best performance from any floor paint is only achieved if 

the surface to be painted is correctly prepared. 

IMPORTANT NOTE 

Always thoroughly stir any coating prior to use (i.e. 1 to 3 

mins). Always apply the product to the recommended 

thickness using the coverage guide. Failure to do this will 

result in the drying time being extended and the performance 

of the product may be affected. The full hardness of most floor 

coatings is achieved over 5 - 7 days. 

CONCRETE New Unpainted: Leave to cure and dry fully, 

normally about three months (or 1 month per inch of screed) 

or check moisture content is below 14%. 

Thoroughly remove any scale or salts (Coo-Var Acid Etch is a 

good way to do this and is essential on power floated or 

exceptionally smooth surfaces to provide a key). Once clean, 

ensure surface is dry then apply the selected Coo-Var Floor 

Coating according to directions. A priming coat will enhance 

performance. 

Old Unpainted: Thoroughly clean and remove any grease or 

oil. This can be done with Coo-Var Degreaser. Coo-Var Acid 

Etch may then be used to remove any residual scale or salts. 

It may be necessary to clean and roughen the surface with an 

industrial abrading machine where the surface has become 

"polished" by long term use or is smooth or granolithic. Apply 

the selected Coo-Var Floor Coating according to directions 

having removed all the residue of the cleaning process. 

Specific Primers or a thinned first coat can be used to assist 

adhesion of any Coo-Var Floor Coating to the surface in 

extreme cases. 

Old Previously Painted: Thoroughly clean and remove any 

loose flaking material. Seal/Etch prime any exposed areas as 

appropriate and ensure the previous paint is compatible with 

the selected Coo-Var Floor Coating. The new paint must "key" 

to the old. This can be done by roughening the smooth 

surfaces or Coo-Var High Performance Primer can be used as 

a barrier coat between old and new coatings to prevent 

interaction and to prime the surface. Proceed as directed on 

the selected Coo-Var Floor Coating. 

METAL Unpainted: Thoroughly degrease and clean the 

surface. Prime with an appropriate metal primer ensuring 

compatibility with the selected Coo-Var Floor Coating, which 

should then be applied when the primer is dry. 

Previously Painted: Thoroughly degrease and clean the 

surface, then apply a compatible primer. Test the existing paint 

for compatibility with the selected Coo-Var Floor Coating. If 

there is incompatibility (e.g.reaction such as blistering of the 

old paint etc.) then either coat with a suitable barrier coat or 

preferably remove all the old paint. Re-paint as with 

"unpainted" metal surfaces. Proceed as shown in the 

directions. 

WOOD Unpainted: Thoroughly clean the surface and coat with 

a wood primer which is compatible with the selected Coo-Var 

Floor Coating. Proceed as shown in the directions. 

Previously Painted: Thoroughly clean the surface and spot 

prime any exposed wood with a compatible primer for wood. 

Test the existing paint for compatibility with the selected Coo- 

Var Floor Coating. If there is incompatibility (e.g. reaction such 

as blistering of the old paint etc.) then either coat with a 

suitable barrier coat or preferably remove all the old paint. 

Take care with raised wood grain which is prone to resist wear 

and form hollows. 

SPECIAL NOTE 

Ensure good ventilation and brush or roller out to the correct 

film thickness. Take exceptional care to achieve this, especially 

on uneven surfaces to avoid 'pooling'. Failure to do this will 

effect drying time and performance of the product Check the 

first coat is dry before applying a second. Brush-out any 

unavoidable 'pools' which have formed. 

SPECIAL POINTS TO NOTE WHEN USING 2-PACK PRODUCTS 

1. Materials used must be mixed according to instructions 

using a slow speed mechanical drill or special paint stirrer for 

at least 2 minutes. Ensure that the full perimeter and depth of 

the container is covered by the mixing action. This will 

eliminate any "soft spots" which will be caused by unmixed 

resins and ensure a uniform mix. 

2. Primer and Topcoat coverage will vary depending on the 

porosity/roughness of the surface. The primer dries to a clear 

film. 

3. Topcoats (i.e. Profloor Plus, Profloor Floor Paint) should be 

brushed/rollered out to achieve the specified coverage at the 

correct dried film thickness. For this information consult the 

technical data sheets. Failure to do this will result in an 

inconsistent or 'patchy" finish. 

4. Ensure 'overcoat- times specified are followed. Failure to do 

this may result in a subsequent system failure. 

5. Temperature and humidity are critical factors when applying 

two pack, water based products. Temperature during 

application must be above 10°C and below 30°C. Excess 

humidity and extreme temperatures will affect the finish and 

can cause colour variation even in containers filled from the 

same batch product. 

6. We recommend the same batch of a product to be used on 

a large area, This helps ensure a uniform finish and colour 

throughout. 

7. Apply the product within the specified pot life. 

8. Always read in full health, safety and technical information 

before using a product. 

Two pack systems are chemically reactive and care should 

be taken when using. 


DEFINITIONS OF VARIOUS PREPARATIONS OFTEN QUOTED ON 

SPECIFICATIONS: 

Sa 3 The surface of the steel is metallic-white, there are no 

traces of corrosion or shadow after blast cleaning. 

Sa 21 /2 Careful abrasive blast cleaning. The surface is metallicwhite, 

there are no traces of corrosion but some lightly coloured 

greyish shadows might remain. 

Sa 2 This preparation should lead to the almost entire 

elimination of traces of rust and scale. Some points of 

corrosion might remain and some very adherent mill scale 

particles after blast cleaning. 

Sa 1 Sweep blasting. Some oxidised parts and scale remain. 

The metal maintains the colour of rust 

St 3 Operation usually applied to pre-primed steel or de-scaled 

raw steel. Brushing, abrasive discs and mechanical grinding are 

employed. The surface must have a very clean metallic-white 

appearance. 

St 2 Operation conducted manually by brushing with a steel 

brush, scraping, etc. The aim is to eliminate powdery, nonadherent 

and scaly corrosion. The appearance is a light metallic 

gloss. 

After blast cleaning iron or steel, the surface will have a rough 

profile which will effect the coverage of paint. The surface area 

is thus larger and hence will require more paint.

A GUIDE TO SWIMMING POOLS 

If a pool is painted without care a host of problems are likely 

to occur. Always remember that a pool is a specialised 

structure and should not be treated as just another wall to be 

painted. 

For various technical reasons, most paints do not last when 

submerged in water. Teamac Chlorvar pool coating is a 

carefully selected blend of chlorinated rubber, pigment and 

solvent In its dried form it will withstand constant immersion 

in normal pool water providing both an attractive decorative 

finish and a long life protective finish. 

Our Technical Services Department can provide information for 

particular application and ancillary items such as steel support 

structure over indoor pools. 

Please contact us on 01482 328053. 

SURFACE PREPARATION 

Surfaces to be painted should be free from nibs, cavities and 

other imperfections. Mould, oil stains, if any, must be 

removed. Moisture content of concrete should be below 14% 

prior to application of any coating. 

New unpainted concrete pools. 

If a swimming pool is being constructed with a view to 

treatment with Chlorvar Chlorinated Rubber Paint a uniform 

wood float finish to the concrete is preferable to a steel 

trawled finish, which is more likely to produce a film of 

laitance or scum on the surface and may lead to poor 

adhesion or blistering of the enamel. 

To prevent back pressure the construction of the pool should 

have included a waterproof membrane on the soil side. Allow 

the structure to dry out thoroughly before painting (normally at 

least 28 days). The surfaces should then be treated with Acid 

Etch diluted three times with clean water. 

Wet the surface with fresh clean water from a hosepipe and 

then apply the acid etch with a sweeping brush or turks head 

brush. The operator should wear rubber boots and gloves and 

wear suitable eye protection. 

The surface will foam vigorously and bubble. When the 

reaction has subsided, hose down to wash away loose 

particles of sand and all soluble materials until the washings 

are totally clean then leave at least 24 hours to dry out 

(i.e. less than 7% moisture content). 

If in any doubt contact Coo-Var Technical Services to be sure. 

PREVIOUSLY PAINTED POOLS 

If the pool was previously painted with Chlorvar Chlorinated 

Rubber and is in good condition it is safe to proceed after 

scrubbing down to remove dirt etc. and roughen the surface to 

help adhesion. Old perished Chlorvar coatings must be 

removed by thorough scraping. All loose edges should be 

removed. After many years wear and tear it may become 

necessary to remove all the old coatings by grit blasting 

(using a suitable abrasive). 

Finally, remove all debris and dirt If a pool is in a hard water 

area, white carbonate deposits will be clinging to the old paint 



after cleaning down. 

These should be removed using Acid Etch diluted three times 

with water. 

COATING APPLICATION 

Application conditions for Chlorvar Chlorinated Rubber must 

receive careful consideration, the weather being one of the 

chief factors. A warm, but cloudy day is ideal as it is not 

desirable to apply the coating in direct sunlight. Never work 

when the concrete is damp (as with morning dew or after rain) 

or if rain is likely before the Chlorvar will have had time to dry. 

Application of first coat: On new pools, thin the first coat of 

Chlorvar (approximately 10% by volume) to aid penetration 

into the concrete. If the pool is already painted there is no 

need to thin the first coat. Apply either by brush or short pile 

roller. Do not attempt to use spray equipment. For ease of 

access first paint the sides and then complete the floor. Take 

care not to apply too thickly, especially on the floor. (Use the 

coverage guide to make sure you use the correct amount of 

paint - see tin for details) 

Do not apply to damp surfaces. Do not use on very hot or very 

windy days. Avoid excessive film builds especially on the base 

of the pool as this may lead to solvent entrapment due to a 

thick film being applied and subsequent 'blisters' causing 

failure of the coating. 

Application of the second coat: After leaving the first coat to 

dry for a minimum of 24 hours (but preferably 48 hours) 

apply an unthinned coat of Chlorvar. Do not overwork the paint 

otherwise the first coat will be disturbed too much. Some "bite" 

into the first coat is quite normal. 

Application of the third coat If required: After leaving the 

second coat to dry for a minimum of 24 hours (but preferably 

48 hours) apply a third coat of Chlorvar. Do not overwork the 

paint otherwise the second coat will be disturbed too much. 

Some "bite" into the second coat is quite normal. 

Filling with water: Leave the pool for a minimum of 14 days 

before filling with water. If this is ignored, entrapped solvent 

will cause small blisters to form in the paint Indoor pools 

should be well ventilated during this time. The solvent is 

heavier than air therefore it may be necessary to use 

forced ventilation in deep indoor pools. 

Tile or mosaic pools: We do not recommend the painting of 

these surfaces under any circumstances. 

Notes: We are unable to guarantee compatibility with other 

manufacturers paints. In general, however, Chlorvar will be 

satisfactory on another pure chlorinated rubber pool paint in 

good condition. We do not recommend it to be applied over 

existing acrylic, vinyl or cement based pool paints. 

All drying/curing times are based on 20˚C. 

All coatings to be applied in accordance with relevant technical 

and health and safety data sheets.

CLIMATIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS FOR CONSIDERATION WHEN APPLYING PAINT PRODUCTS 

AIR AND SURFACE TEMPERATURE 

These two parameters affect the physical properties of the 

products during preparation and application. For all products, 

these criteria have an influence on the touch dry time and on 

complete drying and overcoating times. At low temperatures 

drying times will be slower. 

This also applies to properties such as viscosity and rate and 

nature of dilution. At high temperatures viscosity will decrease 

and at low temperatures it will increase. 

It is, therefore, important to store the products in areas in 

which the temperature will be close to the optimum conditions 

for use and to use a suitable thinner. 

Humidity 

Some water in the form of invisible vapour is intermixed with 

the air throughout the atmosphere. It is the condensation of this 

vapour which gives rise to clouds, rain, snow, dew, frost, and 

fog. There is a limit to how much water vapour the air can hold 

and this limit varies with temperature. When the air contains 

the maximum amount of vapour possible for a particular 

temperature, the air is said to be saturated. Warm air can hold 

more vapour than cold air. In general the air is not saturated, 

containing only a fraction of the possible water vapour. 

Dew Point 

The dew point indicates the amount of moisture in the air. 

The higher the dew point, the higher the moisture content 

of the air at a given temperature. 

Dew point temperature is defined as the temperature to which 

the air would have to cool in order to reach saturation. A state 

of saturation exists when the air is holding the maximum 

amount of water vapour possible at the existing temperature 

and pressure. 

Condensation of water vapour begins when the temperature 

of air is lowered to its dew point and beyond. The dew point, 

like other measures of humidity, can be calculated from 

readings taken by a hygrometer. 

Condensation 

Condensation is the process whereby water vapour in the 

atmosphere is returned to its original liquid state thus causing 

a surface to become wet. This is a problem which tends to 

occur particularly at the start or end of a day, especially outside. 

Condensation is not a matter of one particular temperature but 

of a difference between the two. Condensation of water vapour 

occurs when the temperature of air is lowered to its dew point 

At this point a problem will occur when you paint a surface.
