These times are based on 50% relative humidity and 3-4 mil (75-100 microns) dry film thickness.
The acrylic film forming process may require several weeks at 75°F (24°C) with proper ventilation to develop adhesion and water resistance.
High humidity, high film thickness, insufficient ventilation or cooler temperatures will lenghten dry to handle/topcoat times due to slower water evaporation rate.
Waterborne acrylics are sensitive to moisture during early cure and are susceptible to handling damage
Recoat intervals may vary from those listed above when using under intumescent fireproofing products.
Surfaces must be clean and dry. Employ adequate methods to remove dirt, dust, oil and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the coating.
Steel
SSPC-SP6 with a 1.0-2.0 mil (25-50 micron) surface profile for maximum protection. SSPC-SP2 or SP3 as minimum requirement.
When using under fireproofing products, defer to the primer surface preparation requirements in the product data sheet of the fireproofing product.
Galvanised Steel
SSPC-SP1. Prime with Sanitile® 120 or others as recommended by Rawlins.
When using under fireproofing products, defer to the primer surface preparation requirements in the product data sheet of the fireproofing product.
Concrete
Must be cured 28 days at 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity or equivalent. Laitance, form oils, curing agents and hardeners must be removed by suitable method before coating application.
Prime with Sanitile 120
CMU
Mortar joints should be thoroughly cured for a minimum of 15 days at 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity or equivalent.
Prime with a latex block filler
Drywall & Plaster
Joint compound and plaster should be fully cured prior to coating application. Prime with Sanitile 120.
Previously Painted Surfaces
Lightly sand or abrade to roughen surface and degloss the surface. Existing paint must attain a minimum 3A rating in accordance with ASTM D3359 “X-Scribe” adhesion test.
Contact Rawlins for information on suitable primers.
Wood
Lightly sand with fine sandpaper and remove dust. Prime with Sanitile 120.
