Touch dry in as little as one hour, this primer gives you peace of mind that a realistic turnaround time can be agreed between project managers and contractors.

Manufactured under the auspices of an ISO 9001:2008 quality & ISO 14001:2004 environmental management systems.

Product Use in the Workplace

• Metal fence - Although built as a barrier, it is fairly common for fences to be touched or climbed on. I think we all have some fence-climbing stories from our childhood to tell. It's therefore important that the fence is kept in top condition and free from rust and flaking that can cause discomfort or harm to individuals.
• Shipping container - Shipping goods all over the world means these structures are not only out all year round but also spend much time at sea, exposed to the full battle of the elements eroding away the metal.
• Storage facility - Protecting the items inside the facility is of prime importance. No storage facility can offer full protection if water and moisture are eating away at the structure, which will only serve to increase the potential of damaged goods inside.
• Factory - Exposed to contaminants, metalwork in factories need a protective layer that resists against corrosion.

Features & Benefits

• Touch dry in as little as an hour.

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 FASTRAC Rust Converter RC46 prior to application of Bradite FASTRAC GP Anticorrosive Primer AP70.

New galvanised steel should be thoroughly degreased and then pre-treated with Bradite Mordent Solution TM38 prior to application of Bradite FASTRAC GP Anticorrosive Primer AP70. Alternatively, or for other nonferrous metals, prime with Bradite Barrier Primer EU96 before application of selected Bradite finish.

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