Covering with DIATEX in few words

Wood or metal structures to be covering with DIATEX materials.

Cleaning of surface to remove the greasy impurities and residues.
In the case of a plane having a metal structure, apply first anti-corrosive primary 90 green E.4120.
(replaces the old zinc Chromate).
For a wood plane, use the polyurethane sealer PU E.5467

 

Joining of the fabric on the structure.


Use the coating sticks E.4038 (for wood and metal) or our special adhesive double faces Diastick (metal).

Setting in tension and retraction of the fabric.

This operation is carried out with an iron gauged for covering using the special thermometer.

Application of the coatings of tension.

The clear tautening dope E.4034 stabilizes the tension and seals off the fabric.
The aluminium tautening dope E.4731 protects the fabric against the U.V.
Do not use it if use of our finishes & paintings PU.

Application of a primer.

DIATEX surface primers improve the surface quality.
They are used as interface between the tautening dope and painting, in order to avoid any chemical interference.
They provide a protection against the U.V. and are treated anti-cracks.

Application of the finish-up paint.

White paintings DIATEX and standardized colours of automobile references colours.
These paintings protect from the U.V. and are treated anti-cracks.

Completion in case of a metal plane without covering.

Sand the metal part, apply the anti-corrosive E.4120 and then apply the primer and the finish-up paint.
