Product Specification

Film Thickness Range And Coverage

The practical spreading rate may be lower as this depends on factors such as the porosity and roughness of the surface to be painted and material losses during application.

Drying Times

Low temperature and high humidity will adversely affect application, drying and performance of any coating.

Surface Preparation

• Apply to new galvanising within 7 days.
• Zinc surfaces which are contaminated should be cleaned down using an abrasive pad, water and cleaning agent followed by rinsing and allowing to dry.
• If contaminated with oil or grease surfaces should be wiped over with Universal Degreaser before carrying out the cleaning down procedure.
• Can be applied to weathered galvanised surfaces although reactivity of the treatment will diminish as the age of the galvanising increases and can result in an uneven colouration from light grey to dark grey.  If no colour change takes place, these areas should be considered as contaminated.

Preceeding Coat

• None

Mixing

• N/A

Application Conditions

• As dictated by normal good painting practice.  In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.
• Many metallic surfaces are slowly attacked by Mordant Solution (T Wash).  This must be borne in mind if spraying is considered.  Guns and equipment may be damaged and must be washed thoroughly with fresh water immediately after each work period.

Application Special Conditions

• Within 7 days of galvanising. 
• Only to degreased and uncontaminated surfaces.

Application Methods

• Thinner (Max vol): N/A
• Nozzle Size: N/A
• Nozzle Pressure: N/A
• Cleaning Solvent: Clean Water

Health & Safety
