HAYMES RENDERTEX WINTER FORMULA WHY DO WE NEED A WINTER FORMULA? For southern states Haymes Rendertex is available in a Winter Formulation. This formulation is for a limited period on a key products - they are labelled accordingly with a Winter Formulation sticker on both the front and lid. This formula varies in that it is specifically designed to flow, stiffen and cure in colder climates over winter when lower cooler temperature slow the stiffening and curing process. All our texture coatings are designed with a balance of properties so they easily flow off the trowel and do not sag or droop off the substrate. Curing is designed to happen over a specified or defined period long enough to be applied, worked, floated or rubbed smooth to generate a variety of textural effects and finishes. But, it must dry so it is not damaged by any overnight rain or dew. Our Winter formulation contains less extender that enables the product to be worked but still dry as it would in a warmer climate. In essence, we target a consistent DRY TIME, so no matter if you’re in a warm or cooler climate we deliver optimal product performance all year round. Our Winter Formulation is only available in southern states for a limited time period and is not needed in northern states with consistently warmer climates. A Texture coat is made to achieve a balance in properties.
In the middle of a cold Winter, curing needs to be much quicker.

• Summer texture cannot be converted to Winter. There is no way to remove the ingredients that are slowing the curing.
What happens if the wrong version is used? • It is possible to add a set retarder, “Extenda”, to a Winter texture and slow down the curing? This will not give an exact match to a Summer batch but it will work adequatly for the project. Technical advice should be sought for or other exposure during this period can the exact Extenda quantaties for every wash the texture off the wall. project and climate.

Any rain Texture coatings used in Summer must be tweaked so that it cures relatively slowly, otherwise it will stiffen before the floating and rubbing process is finished.
Can you convert Summer to Winter or vice-versa if we are desperate for stock?
