Axalta ViterLac DTM190 Primer/Finish is a one coat anti-corrosive alkyd primer/finish (gloss) for the ACE market. Fast drying single coat system for blast cleaned steelwork for in-shop application.

It is designed for airless spray application, and it has excellent build properties and hold-up on edges.

Axalta ViterLac DTM190 provides a colourful, high gloss system in one coat*.

*Colours such as yellows, reds and oranges have lower opacity, especially when produced using lead-free pigments. Two or three coats of these shades may be required, relative to only one coat of a grey or red oxide, so that yellows, bright reds and oranges may not be suitable as one coat systems.

Product Specification

Film Thickness Range And Coverage

Drying Times

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
• Blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007), surface profile 50-75 microns

Mixing

• Must be mixed thoroughly by using a mechanical agitator before use
• Agitate periodically to ensure paint remains homogeneous

Thinner

Thinner

• Axalta 1006 Thinner

Equipment Cleaner

• Axalta 1006 Thinner

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 3°C above the dew point
• Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC

Application Methods

• Airless Spray: Output fluid pressure at tip 2000-2500 psi, Tip Size 11-13 thou (0.28-0.33 mm)
• Conventional spray: typical atomising pressure 40-60 psi, will require thinning to 23-35 seconds at 25ºC through a BS B4 Flow Cup. Multiple coats will be required to achieve recommended dft
• Application by brush/roller will result in a reduced film thickness and is recommended only for small areas of touch up/remedial work

Product Notes

• Damaged areas may be touched up after the minimum times shown. Can be overcoated with itself indefinitely if clean and sound
• In common with most alkyd primers and primer/finishes, this product is not recommended for extended exterior exposure, exposure in aggressive or coastal locations, or for immersion. Epoxy primers are preferred for these conditions, please consult Axalta Coating Systems or Rawlins Paints Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for advice.
• When fully cured, ViterLac DTM190 resists splashes of diesel oil and hydraulic fluid. Splashes of petrol and brake fluid may cause some softening and loss of gloss. Splashes should be immediately removed to prevent long term film damage
• Some shades may contain lead based colourants and these are labelled (L)
• *Colours such as yellows, reds and oranges have lower opacity, especially when produced using lead-free pigments. Two or three coats of these shades may be required, relative to only one coat of a grey or red oxide, so that yellows, bright reds and oranges may not be suitable as one coat systems
