CaliwelTM is an interior surface treatment that employs a natural
antimicrobial agent - Calcium hydroxide - to protect the coating from odor and
stain causing microorganisms for years after it is applied. Formulated with
calcium hydroxide that has a long history of safe antimicrobial use, Caliwel
incorporates proprietary Bi-Neutralizing Agent (BNATM ) to prolong its antimicrobial
potency. When applied to walls and other interior surfaces, Caliwel
provides a long-lasting and durable coating that protects the surface coating
from common microorganisms.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Mold/Mildew On Surface –
scrape/remove all loose material.
New Drywall - repair holes/cracks by patching with
joint compound and sanding. Sweep and wipe with a clean damp rag to remove
sanding dust.
Masonry/Concrete
–must cure for 30 days before coating. Remove form-release agents.
Plaster –
bare plaster must be cured and hard. Textured, soft, porous or powdery
plaster should be treated with 1 pint household vinegar to 1 gallon of distilled
water. Repeat until surface is hard. Rinse and allow to dry.
Wood – sand
exposed areas to a fresh surface. Fill nail holes and other surface damage
with wood filler or putty. Sand smooth.
Previously Painted Surfaces
– remove all loose paint, dirt, chalk and damaged substrate. Clean
thoroughly to remove wax, grease and/or oil residue. Scuff-sand glossy
surfaces. Wipe with a clean damp rag to remove sanding dust. Stains
from water, smoke, grease, ink, etc. must be sealed with a suitable
stain-blocking primer.
Ceiling Materials – seal absorbent materials with suitable primer.
