Coo-Var All Purpose Primer is a general purpose water based primer. Ideal on multisurface substrates or when a 'one solution' product is required. It is ideal for use on plaster, metals (including steel, iron, aluminium, copper brass and more) and wood. Low odour and easy application make this a very versatile product.

Surface Preparation

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease, oil and any other contaminates. Bare steel should be free from dust, rust and scale. Blast cleaning to SA 2½ is recommended. If blast cleaning is impractical, mechanical cleaning should be employed as hand cleaning does not clean the steel to the required degree.

Any oil or grease should be removed with CooVar Degreaser before de-rusting. Where blast cleaning is carried out after assembly, special attention must be paid to edges, corners, nuts, bolts, welds etc. Welds should, if necessary be ground and all weld spatter, slag etc. must be removed. New wood should be sanded prior to coating to ensure an adequate "key" is produced.

Application Conditions

Do not paint when temperature will be at or below 7 °C during the painting and drying process. As dictated by normal good painting practice. Care must be taken during application that the temperature is above the dew point to avoid any contamination. In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation
during application and drying

Subsequent Coat

Any suitable topcoat.

Remarks
