Cotiflex: PreFlex undercoat

The best biomechanical tree trunk paint (white paint) – Protect deciduous woods, fruit trees and garden groves from frost cracks, bark cracks and sun cracks – spreadable and sprayable When young plants from tree nurseries are planted in new locations (in alleys or individually) they are suddenly exposed to intense sun and temperature changes. This makes the bark prone to frost cracks and sun cracks. CORTIFLEX® provides excellent protection for all deciduous woods and, in particular for fruit trees. shipping unit:- containers of 5 litres- containers of 1 litre protects for up to 5 years – remains effective longer than conventional trunk protection paints (e.g. lime paints) ecxellent, inexpensive protection for new plantings (even cheaper than reed or jute, in which tree pests may find shelter and nest) mechanical effect mechanism,provides temperature regulation not harmful to plants! - not toxic application period: all year round, application recommended when temperatures are + 8° C store and spread frost-free top protection for fruit trees (e.g. apricot, apple, beech, maple, cherry and many other ), alley trees and garden trees helps to prevent damage caused by late frost better and more beautiful whitening effect through the addition of special white pigments, ensures optimum reflection of sunlight made in Austria colour: white Application of spreadable CORTIFLEX®: Mechanical pre-treatment of the tree bark with the supplied scouring pad. Afterwards apply the PreFlex undercoat liberally to species of tree with coarse bark and allow to dry (firm to the touch). No undercoat needs to be used for species of tree with smooth bark. Cover the trunk with an undiluted main coat of CORTIFLEX®. Only apply if the temperature is above 8 °C and if it is not raining or about to rain. Setting time is 0.5 to 2 hours – after that it is extremely long-lasting! Application of sprayable CORTIFLEX®: Before beginning the spraying process, loose pieces of bark and contaminants should be removed from the trunk with a piece of scouring pad or a wire brush, depending on the texture. Before application shake CORTIFLEX® well and cover the entire trunk. Practical tip: this coat can also be evenly applied with a paintbrush.

Undercoat for the Biomechanical Trunk Protection Paint Cortiflex® If tree bark is very absorbent and porous, prepare tree bark with PreFlex® Undercoat before applying Cortiflex®. If no undercoat is used, bark would absorb binding agents from the Cortiflex® Trunk Protection Paint. Besides, the undercoat binds remainders of loose bark flakes and facilitates the application of Cortiflex® Trunk Protection Paint considerably. If no undercoat is used, the durability of Cortiflex® is much lower. shipping unit:- canisters of 5 l- canisters of 1 l PreFlex Undercoat quantities needed: up to approx. 20 % of Cortiflex® Trunk Protection Paint quantities shake well before use apply undercoat, e.g., with Angle Brush colour: yellow
