Drying Times

Surface Preparation

• Ensure surfaces to be coated are dry and must be cleaned using the appropriate HMG product to remove all traces of contaminants
• Read and follow the safety data sheet, product data sheet and label instructions
• Stir all paints thoroughly before use
• Always use the same batch number on the same job
• Check colour & sheen
• Filter the product immediately before use
• Reduce emissions and maintain quality by replacing tin lid after use

Substrates: HMG HB48 Primer 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 Prep Clean 2803
• HMG Prep Clean 2804

Bare Substrates:

• 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
• Aluminium – Abrade with P180 – P320, degrease with suitable HMG Prep Clean prior to application of primer
• Galvanised Steel – Degrease with suitable HMG Prep Clean, apply HMG Mordant Wash, apply HMG Etch Primer and if required use appropriate HMG Primer

Previously Painted:

• 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
• Abrade to provide good adhesion
• Wipe over with degreaser to remove loose debris from abrasion
