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

• Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease, oil and any other contaminates.
• Bare steel should be free from dust, rust and scale. Blast cleaning to SA 2½ is recommended.
• If blast cleaning is impractical, mechanical cleaning should be employed as hand cleaning does not clean the steel to the required degree.
• Any oil or grease should be removed with Coo-Var Degreaser before de-rusting.
• Where blast cleaning is carried out after assembly, special attention must be paid to edges, corners, nuts, bolts, welds etc.
• Welds should, if necessary be ground and all weld spatter, slag etc. must be removed.

Preceeding Coat

• Can be applied directly to prepared iron or steel, for greater protection prime with Teamac Zinc Phoshate Primer.

Subsequent Coat

• Teamac Duracote Anticorrosive Red Oxide or other suitable topcoat.

Mixing

• Mix well before use.

Application Conditions

• As dictated by normal good painting practice.
• Care must be taken during application that the temperature is above the dew point to avoid any contamination.
• In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

Application Methods

• Thinner (Max vol): Thinners 14 (10%)
• Nozzle Size: 0.011" - 0.013"
• Nozzle Pressure: 1800 to 2000 psi
• Cleaning Solvent: Thinners 14
