Axalta - Bondon 115 is a two pack epoxy, high solids, surface tolerant aluminium primer. 

Features

• Use as a rust inhibiting primer on hand prepared steel, or as a high build patch repair primer under most generic coating types
• Excellent anticorrosive protection
• Excellent ‘wetting’ properties for application to a manually prepared steel surface
• Good chemical and solvent resistance
• Use to upgrade a conventional system to high performance epoxy/polyurethane system
• Can overlap onto aged, sound chlorinated rubber, vinyl or alkyd products

Surface Preparation

All surfaces to be coated should be dry and cleaned as necessary to remove all oil, grease, salts, weld flux or other contamination. Where necessary, remove weld spatter and grind smooth all sharp edges and weld seams. Blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007), surface profile 50-75 microns, where blast cleaning is impractical the surface should be prepared to St2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) taking care to avoid ‘polishing’ the surface.

Can be used as a brush or spray applied primer when water abrasive blast cleaning. Allow to dry and lightly wire brush if powdery deposits form.

Mixing

Mix only in the proportions stated, mixing each component individually then together using a mechanical agitator. Agitate periodically during use to ensure product remains homogeneous.

Application Conditions

Only apply in conditions of good ventilation which must be maintained during drying and curing. Do not apply when rain, mist, sleet or snow are imminent. During application and drying time of the paint coating, the surface should be dry, the Relative Humidity should not exceed 85% and the steel temperature should remain at least 3oC above the dew point. Only apply this product when the above conditions can be maintained throughout the critical application and drying/curing process. Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC.

Application Methods

Method Airless

• Airless Spray: Output fluid pressure at tip 2000-3000 psi, Tip Size: 13-21 thou (0.33-0.53mm).
• Brush application is preferred over manually prepared bare steel surfaces to assist surface penetration
• If applying by roller over blast cleaned steel, there is a tendency to over spread the coating resulting in low film builds. If the film build is too low a second coat should be applied to achieve required film build
