Product Information
Full details
The Sadolin Superdec in Green is a water-borne, highly durable opaque finish designed for a variety of exterior surfaces including wood, weathered plastic, steel, cladding, concrete, masonry, and exterior doors and windows. Its key benefit lies in its ability to erode naturally with weathering, maintaining flexibility and preventing cracking, peeling, or flaking. A potential caveat to consider is the need for a blocking primer on very resinous timber to prevent discolouration, especially with lighter shades.

FAQs
What surfaces can Sadolin Superdec Green be used on?
Sadolin Superdec is suitable for a wide range of exterior surfaces including wood, weathered plastic, steel, cladding, concrete, masonry, and exterior doors and windows.
How should I prepare a resinous wood surface before painting?
For very resinous timber, it is recommended to use a blocking primer to minimize extractive discolouration, particularly with white and pale shades of Superdec.
How many coats of Sadolin Superdec are usually needed?
Two coats are generally recommended for best results, especially when covering a different colour or a weathered surface. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Is this paint suitable for a complete colour change on weathered surfaces?
Yes, Sadolin Superdec is ideal for use where a complete change of colour is required or where the existing surface has become weathered and uneven in appearance.
How do I clean my brushes after using Sadolin Superdec?
Clean application tools immediately after use with water.
What makes Sadolin Superdec different from other exterior paints?
Its key feature is that it erodes naturally by weathering, ensuring the coating remains flexible and resists cracking, peeling, and flaking over time.
Can I use this on metal surfaces?
Yes, Sadolin Superdec is suitable for application on steel and other metal cladding.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application. A primer may be needed for certain materials.
Uneven colour or coverage.
Ensure the product was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply in even coats, avoiding over-brushing. Ensure sufficient coats have been applied, allowing proper drying time between them.
Discolouration on resinous wood.
A blocking primer should have been applied to very resinous timber before painting to prevent this issue, especially with lighter shades. If discolouration occurs, the surface may need to be re-prepared and primed.
Paint appears too thin or streaky.
Ensure the product has not been over-thinned unless instructed. Apply with smooth, even strokes. If the issue persists, an additional coat may be necessary once the previous coat is dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and other contaminants. Remove any loose or flaking paint. For previously painted or stained surfaces, a light sanding may be beneficial. On very resinous timber, apply a suitable blocking primer before Sadolin Superdec to prevent extractive discolouration, particularly if using white or pale green shades.
Application: Stir the product thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for best results, especially when making a significant colour change. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility: Suitable for wood, weathered plastic, steel, cladding, concrete, masonry, and exterior doors and windows. Avoid application on surfaces likely to be immersed in water or subjected to constant abrasion.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For maintaining the finish, surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
