Substrates

• HMG Multi Surface Topcoat is suitable as a primer coat for suitably prepared metals, clean and free of grease, oils and other contaminants
• Not suitable for coating over bitumen or chlorinated rubber coatings

Application Climate

• Substrate temperature should be 5⁰C or above for application and during cure, and a minimum of 3⁰C above the dew point
• Adequate dry air ventilation should be supplied during drying

Application Information

• Thinning should only take place after material is thoroughly mixed
• Application and use should always conform with the codes of practice described in BS 6150 and BS 5493

Surface Preparation

• Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease, oils, dust and other contamination prior to application
• Thoroughly clean and degrease using suitable HMG Prep Clean 2802, HMG 2803 or HMG 2804
• Rust/corrosion to be removed to Sa or St standards, remove to clean metallic appearance with little or no rust/corrosion present
• Areas where blast cleaning is not cost effective or practical, then the use of HMG Ferrozinc is an alternative
• Though Ferrozinc is not an equivalent alternative to shot blasting, it does offer a far superior performance than conventional coatings applied to slightly rusted surfaces
• FERROZINC is used after simple wire brushing to remove surface rust, prior to application of primer

Bare Steel Substrates

• Aluminium: Abrade with P180 – P320, degrease with suitable HMG Prep Clean prior to application of primer
• Mild Steel: Remove millscale and thoroughly degrease using suitable HMG Prep Clean
• Abrade with P80 – P180 if necessary, prior to application of primer
• Shot Blasted Steel: Remove all traces of blast grit/sand prior to application of primer
• Galvanised Steel: Degrease with suitable HMG Prep Clean, apply HMG Mordant Wash, apply HMG Etch Primer and if required HMG Primer

Previously Painted Surfaces

• High pressure wash to remove all loose debris and poorly adhered previous coatings to remove all salts and other contaminants
• Degrease using suitable HMG Prep Clean 2800 to remove grease and oils not removed with pressure washing alone
• Existing coatings to be well adhered with all edges tight and well feathered
• Rust/corrosion to be removed back to clean metallic appearance
• In areas where complete removal or spot rust remains apply HMG Ferrozinc
• Abrade to provide good adhesion
• Wipe over with degreaser to remove loose debris from abrasion
• Substrate to be clean, free of grease, oils, dust and completely dry prior to application
