EQUITONE [textura]
Material: high-quality fibre cement panel of natural grey or anthracite through-colour fibre
cement (DIN EN 12467)
Application: Eternit Equitone roofing system, hung, ventilated faades for all building
types and heights, decorative interior fitting-out
Coating: thorough coverage, use of UV-resistant, environmentally-friendly colour pigments,
multilayered pure acrylic coating with added Fillite, TopCoat surface seal, hot-coated
Under certain circumstances, Textura panels with anthracite-coloured base panels (TA) may also show calcium deposits at the cut edges, which may cause white
stains on the cut edges, but do not affect the appearance of the front face of the panel. In order to counteract the appearance of the white edges, Luko edge
sealant can also be used here.

EQUITONE [pictura]
Material: high-quality faade panel of fibre cement (DIN EN 12467)
Application: Eternit Equitone roofing system, hung, ventilated faades for all building
types and heights, decorative interior fitting-out
Coating: UV-hardened surface on pure acrylic coating, full colour coverage
Surface: smooth, matt, high abrasion resistance, permanent, robust protection against graffiti, UV-
resistant
Colours: 15 colours and an unlimited selection of special colours depending on technical feasibility

Fire classification: A2-s1, d0 (DIN EN 13501-1), non-combustible, resistant to
flying sparks and radiant heat
Before use, Pictura faade panels with moulded edges must be smoothed approx. 15 mm in from each edge. After cutting all edges must be impregnated with
Luko edge sealant.

Luko edge sealant is an emulsion and must be stirred/shaken prior to use. The Luko edge
sealant can be kept for 6 months from the fill date.
Immerse the applicator, with its special 5 x 8 cm microfibre sponge, in the application trough
containing the sealant.
The Luko 803 edge sealant is used neat.
Run the applicator across the raised edge in the container to prevent the sponge from dripping and
enable the excess emulsion to flow back.
The working temperature is +5C to +25C; storage temperature -10C to +25C.
Only seal panels individually, not in a stack.
As the applicator is drawn along the edge of the panel it should be inclined slightly towards the rear
face to prevent residues of the sealant from showing on the visible face.
Wipe away any visible excess sealant on the edge of the panel immediately with a cloth. Dirt on the
surface must be removed immediately.
If there is any Luko 803 edge sealant left in the application trough, do not return it to the main
container or reuse it at a later date. It should be renewed after treating around 200 cut edges. The
sealant should be stirred occasionally during use.
The Luko 803 edge sealant must cover the edge completely. Sufficient coverage can be seen if
the whole surface of the edge is shiny.
Any thickened or hardened residues can be disposed of with the household waste. The sponge can be
reused several times provided it is cleaned immediately after use.
