• Contains zinc phosphate anti-corrosive pigment
• Fast drying
• Indefinitely overcoatable for easy repair
• Good colour stability provided by high quality pigments
• Eggshell finish helps disguise dents and welds
• Tested for resistance to BS148 transformer oil for 196 hours at 90°C

Application

All surfaces to be coated should be dry and cleaned as necessary to remove all oil, grease, salts, weld flux or other contamination. Where necessary, remove weld spatter and grind smooth all sharp edges and weld seams. For best performance, blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007), surface profile 50-75 microns. Can also be applied to clean, dry, abraded steel. Aluminium and zinc coated surfaces should be degreased, abraded and etch primed prior to application of Axalta ViterLac C12. Please consult our technical team for further advice.

Must be mixed thoroughly by using a mechanical agitator before use. Agitate periodically to ensure paint remains homogeneous.

Only apply in conditions of good ventilation, which must be maintained during drying and curing. Do not apply when rain, mist, sleet or snow are imminent. During application and drying time of the paint coating, the surface should be dry, the Relative Humidity should not exceed 85% and the steel temperature should remain at least 3ºC above the dew point. Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC.

Airless Spray is the preferred method of application. Output fluid pressure at tip 2000 psi, Tip Size 13-15 thou (0.33-0.38 mm). Air assisted and HVLP are also suitable. Please consult our technical team for advice. Conventional spray requires thinning by up to 10% with Axalta 1006 Thinner. Brush should be used for touch up of small areas

A dry film thickness of 125μm is recommended over blast cleaned steel substrates.
