Recommended Film Thicknesses and Theoretical Coverage

Practical coverage depends on the application method, painting conditions and the shape and roughness of the surface to be coated.

Drying Times

Drying and recoating times are related to the film thickness, temperature, the relative humidity of the air and ventilation

Surface Preparation

Oil, grease, salts and dirt are removed by appropriate means. (ISO 12944-4).

Steel Surfaces

• Blast clean to grade Sa2½. (ISO 8501-1). If blast cleaning is not possible, phosphating is recommended for cold rolled steel to improve adhesion.

Primed Surfaces

• Oil, grease, salt and dirt are removed from the surface by appropriate means.
• Repair any damage to the primer coat
• Note the overcoating time of primer. (ISO 12944-4).

Recommended Primers
