Ecology, Health & Safety


User must read the most recent corresponding Safety Data Sheets (SDS) before using any products. The SDS provides information and advice on the safe handling, storage and disposal of chemical products and contains physical, ecological, toxicological and other safety-related data.



Application Instructions


Surface Preparation:

Steel:

Blast-cleaning to Sa 2 ½ according to ISO 12944-4. Free from dirt, oil and grease.

Hot dip galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminium:

Free from dirt, oil, grease and corrosion products. In case of exposure to permanent condensation the surfaces must be slightly sweep blasted with a ferrite-free blasting abrasive.

Mixing:

Stir component A very thoroughly using an electric mixer (start slowly, then increase up to approx. 300 rpm). Add component B carefully and mix both components very thoroughly (including sides and bottom of the container). Mix for at least 3 minutes until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.

Fill mixed material into clean container and mix again shortly as described above. During mixing and handling of the materials always wear protective goggles, suitable gloves and other protective clothings.

Application:

The method of application has a major effect on achieving uniform thickness and appearance. Spray application will give the best results. The indicated dry film thickness is easily achieved by airless spray. Adding solvents reduces the sag resistance and the dry film thickness. In case of application by roller or brush, 4 / 4 additional applications may become necessary to achieve the required coating thickness, depending on type of construction, site conditions, colour shade etc. Prior to major coating operations a test application on site may be useful to ensure the selected application method will provide the requested results.

By brush and roller:

In order to achieve an attractive appearance in case of coatings containing micaceous iron oxide it is recommended to spray apply the last top coat or to brush or roll on in one direction only to avoid streaking.

Conventional high pressure spraying:

  • Nozzle size 1.5 - 2.5 mm
  • Pressure 3 - 5 bar

Airless-spraying:

  • Pressure min. 180 bar
  • Nozzle size 0.38 - 0.53 mm (0.015 - 0.021 inch)
  • Spraying angle 40° - 80°

Clean all equipment with Sherwin-Williams Thinner EG immediately after use.
