Preparation

• 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 Mordant 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.
• For ferrous surfaces blast cleaned to SIS Sa 21/2 minimum or mechanically prepared to SIS St 3 minimum.
• Suitable for coating over compatible coatings which are clean, dry and abraded
• Suitable for use under many Bradite finishes such as Fastrac
• High pressure steam cleaning to remove all loose, flaking paint and contamination back to a sound surface. Bradite TD39 Industrial Degreaser, 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

Application

• Application and use should always conform to the codes of practice described in BS 6150 and BS 5493
• Applicable by brush, roller, conventional air spray or airless spray:
  • Brush and Roller - Supplied ready for use. Thin with 0 - 5% Bradite Thinner TW35 if required
  • Conventional Air Spraying - Thin with 10 - 20% Bradite Thinner TW35 as required, tip size - 2.0mm, tip
    pressure 60psi (0.4MPa) approximately
  • Airless Spraying - Thin with 0 - 15% Bradite Thinner TW35 as required, tip size - 19 thou (0.48mm)
    approximately, tip pressure - 2100 psi (15MPa) approximately.
• Apply 1 - 2 full coats at 58 microns/coat WFT or 35 microns/coat DFT
• Theoretical coverage 9 m2/L/coat
• Clean all equipment immediately after use with Bradite Thinner TW35 for best results
• Touch dry in 1 hour, recoat after 16 hours+, fully cured in 7 days
