Unitex Roll-On Textures
Unitex roll-on textures are generally applied by spaghetti roller to achieve a gentle peaked effect. However, they can also be spray applied to give a smoother finish or to reduce the application time on larger jobs. Our roll-on products prioritize ease of application without sacrificing on quality or style.
Unitex Roll-On Texture Finishes are acrylic-bound textured coatings designed for commercial and residential exterior walls. Unitex Roll-On Texture Finishes are suitable for use over surfaces prepared with render from the Unitex Specialty Renders range. A one coat application offers a long-life, heavy-duty coating that combines durability and style.
Unitex Applied Texture Finishes are ideal for commercial and residential exterior walls. Due to the strong binding power of the acrylic, an impact resistant coating results. The surface prevents scuffing and is able to withstand hard knocks.
Typical coverage is 16-18m² per pail for fine-medium grade and 8-10m² per pail for heavy grade. Coverage rates vary with the surface condition and roller sleeve used.
* Deep tone colours require a protective coat of Unitex PTC

Biological Resistance
Resistance to attack from bacteria and fungi is provided. This product being a water based acrylic system offers safe handling and low toxicity properties. Dirt, grime and dust on the surface of coatings will act as seed beds for bacterial attack, therefore cleaning and maintenance of your coating is essential to hinder bacterial and fungal attack.
Fire Resistance
The full Unitex coating system when subjected to the Early Fire Hazard Tests – Australian Standard AS1530.3:1999 meets the strictest standards.
Water Resistance
The coating, even at exceptionally high build, is formulated with a water vapour permeability factor to allow water vapour from the substrate unhindered and to rainproof the exterior. Rising damp and elevated levels of moisture in the substrate will damage, and possibly delaminate, the surface coating. Please ensure that damp coursing the substrate is in place and prior test moisture content with a moisture meter (maximum 12% WME is allowed) (Builder responsibility).
Colour
The pigmentation is completely integrated during the manufacturing process, which means colour through the entire film thickness. Applied Finishes are available in a practically unlimited range of full colour to pastel shades. Please contact Unitex for the full range of colours available. Note: Some deep tones cannot be supplied in applied finishes. Contact Unitex for your specific solution. All colours will fade to some degree with time in exterior systems.
Each pail has a label with the unique code identifying the particular texture type, colour and batch number. This coding ensures that if you require additional product (say to finish off a job), Unitex can match the texture and colour to the original. Note: Conditions on site may change and therefore colour outcome may be different when applied under varying weather conditions. It is advisable always order 1 or 2 more pails than are required for the job. The pails have a strong sealed lid to prevent spillage if they should tip over before opening. Even after opening the lid still fits tightly enough when re-sealing to prevent contamination of the remaining product.
The product must be protected from heat and cold during transit and storage.
Application Details
A minimum of 72 hours, under ideal temperate conditions, is required for through-dry (and cure) of the render, when the surface is trough dry the Unitex Textured Finish coat may be applied. Dry is measured to be less than 12% WME (Wood Moisture Equivalent) where measured on a Protimeter® Moisture Meter.
The substrate must be clean before applying the Finish coat. Any crumbling, loose or damaged substrate render must be removed and the surface patched and made good prior to coating. All surfaces must be free of grease, oils, dirt and dust. Pre-painted surfaces must have flaking paint wire brushed back to a sound substrate. Unitex recommends a base coat of a pigmented Unitex Uni-Substrate Sealer (2 coats) over render prior to application of the surface finishes.
If multi coats are desired then a minimum of 72 hours between each coat is required.
All Unitex Applied Texture Finishes are designed to overcoat Unitex Render from our specialty render range. See Unitex Renders sections for information on suitable base render to use.
Application should not be carried out under excessively cold conditions (below 7 °C) or in hot windy conditions (above 32°C).
Site
Unitex strongly advises prior sign off by your builder / architect, on all coating systems. Always provide the Builder and Designer with a site texture sample of minimum 2m², finish and colour for written approval nominating the Unitex specified system.
