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

• Galvanising: thoroughly degrease and lightly abrade any very shiny areas
• Steelwork: Blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007), surface profile 50-75 microns maximum

Mixing

Must be mixed thoroughly by using a mechanical agitator before use.

Agitate periodically to ensure paint 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. Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC.

Application Methods

• Airless Spray: Output fluid pressure at tip 2000 psi, Tip Size 13-17 thou (0.33-0.43 mm), some thinning may be required
• Conventional spray – not recommended, as considerable thinning would be required for suitable atomisation and build would be greatly reduced
• Application by brush – supplied ready for use
