Bradite Fastrac Antico Primer is a fast drying modified alkyd primer, intended for use as a fast-drying prefabrication or system primer on properly prepared ferrous surfaces, such as can be found in industrial environments, factories and production plants.

The fast-drying action (from as little as 20 minutes) is ideal for environments under time pressure and need quick turnarounds. Therefore many commercial outlets will find this primer ideal, and project managers will be able to effectively plan development projects with quick turnaround times in mind.

Preparation

High pressure steam cleaning to remove all loose, flaking paint and contamination back to a sound surface. Bradite TD39 industrial strength detergent, washing and rinsing should be used with scrubbing to remove grease or oil.

Remove all rust scale, loose mill scale or other corrosion products by scraping and mechanical cleaning to SIS-St 3 (ISO 8501-1:1998).

Intact areas of existing coatings should be roughened by abrasive manual or disc sanding, feathering back to a sound coating edge. Cracks and pits should be filled using a suitable metal filler before painting. Substrate should be dust free and completely dry before coating.

Light surface rusting may be effectively treated using one coat of Bradite Rust Converter RC46 prior to application of Bradite Fastrac Antico Primer AP71.

New galvanised steel should be thoroughly degreased and then pre-treated with Bradite Mordent Solution TM38 prior to application of Bradite Fastrac Antico Primer AP71. Alternatively, or for other non-ferrous metals, prime with Bradite Barrier Primer EU96 before application of Fastrac finish.

Suitable for use under many Bradite finishes such as Fastrac Gloss ME53 & Fastrac Semi Gloss SE53.
