Preparation

Industrial protective coating: 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.

For new or total repair, steel should be blast cleaned to SIS Sa 21/2 minimum with a blast profile of 35-50 microns. (For maintenance repair, sweep blast or mechanically abrade existing coating to provide a key. Damaged or rusty areas should be blast cleaned to SIS Sa 21/2 or mechanically to SIS St 3 minimum).

1st coat: Bradite Epoxy Barrier Primer EU96.

2nd coat: Bradite HB MIO Epoxy Build Finish EM97.

3rd coat: Bradite Polyurethane Gloss Finish PG77.

4th coat: Bradite Polyurethane Gloss Finish PG77.

For maintenance painting, the 1st coat will be a touch up to bare areas only.

Wet blasted steel: 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.

Steel should be wet blast cleaned to SIS Sa 21/2 minimum with a blast profile of 35-50 microns then rinsed with fresh water, with excess water being blown off with oil free compressed air. (For maintenance repair, wet blast as previous, feather existing coating to a sound edge and abrade to provide a key.)
