Mildew - Remove from exposed wood or other surfac before painting by washing with a solution of
1-part liq household bleach and 3 parts of water. Apply the solut and scrub the mildewed area.
Allow the solution to remain on the surface for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughl with water and allow
the surface to dry before painting Wear protective eyewear, waterproof gloves and protective
clothing. Quickly wash off any of the mixtur that comes in contact with your skin or eyes. Do not a
detergents or ammonia to the bleach/water solution. APPLICATON
Mix Dura-Grip thoroughly before and during each application! Apply with brush, roller or squeegee.
Avoi painting late in the day when dew or condensation is likely to form or when rain is
threatening. Apply when the temperature is 50° F (10° C) min., 90° F (32°C) m (air, surface and
material), at least 5° F above dew poi The relative humidity should be 85% maximum. Do no apply to
porous substrates new wood, plywood, exteri drywall, etc. if the substrates have a moisture content
greater than 15%. In most cases, use at mixed consistency. Do not expose subject surfaces to foot
traffic in less than 72 hrs. More time may be necessar depending upon atmospheric conditions.
Brush - No reduction is necessary. Use a nylon/polyester brush.
Roller - No reduction is necessary. Use a 3/8” woven nap with a phenolic core.
Squeegee - Flat Rubber
GENERAL SURFACE PREP
Surfaces must be clean, dry and free from contaminants such as, oil, waxes, grease, dirt, mildew or
other foreign contaminants. Shiny surfaces should be de-glossed by lightly sanding or using a
chemical de-glosser before using Dura-Grip. For wood surfaces, one coat of exterior oil base primer
recommended over clean dry
wood substrates. For concrete, clean with tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) and a firm bristle brush.
Rinse area thoroughly with water. New and smooth dense concrete will require an acid etch before
any application of Firm Foot. Aluminum and other non-ferrous metals should be treated with an
aluminum acid etch preparation available at most paint / hardware stores. Over ferrous metals a
solvent based primer, will provide additional rust prevention. Fiberglass should be lightly sanded
or wiped with acetone before application.

GREEN CHEMICALS

The Green Seal certification is granted by the organization with that name and has a great number of members contributing with the requirements to pass a raw material or a chemical product as "green". Generally for a material to be green, has to comply with a series of characteristics like: near neutral pH, low volatility, non combustible, non toxic to aquatic life, be biodegradable as measured by oxygen demand in accordance with the OECD definition.
Also the materials have to meet with toxicity and health requirements regarding inhalation, dermal and eye contact. There is also a specific list of materials that are prohibited or restricted from formulations, like ozone-depleting compounds and alkylphenol ethoxylates amongst others. Please go to http://www.greenseal.com/ for complete information on their requirements.
For information on current issues regarding green chemicals, see the blog from the Journalist Doris De Guzman, in the ICIS at: http://www.icis.com/blogs/green-chemicals/.
Certification is an important — and confusing — aspect of green cleaning. Third-party certification is available for products that meet standards set by Green Seal, EcoLogo, Energy Star, the Carpet & Rug Institute and others.
Manufacturers can also hire independent labs to determine whether a product is environmentally preferable and then place the manufacturer’s own eco-logo on the product; this is called self-certification. Finally, some manufacturers label a product with words like “sustainable,” “green,” or “earth friendly” without any third-party verification.
“The fact that there is not a single authoritative standard to go by adds to the confusion,” says Steven L. Mack M.Ed., director of buildings and grounds service for Ohio University, Athens, Ohio.
In www.happi.com of June 2008 edition, there is a report of Natural formulating markets that also emphasises the fact that registration of "green formulas" is very confused at present, due to lack of direction and unification of criteria and that some governmental instittion (in my opinion the EPA) should take part in this very important issue.
