Application

Preparation

• Carbon steel - Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1)
• Aluminium - Abrasive blast cleaning to achieve a surface profile using non-metallic abrasive media which is suitable to achieve a sharp and angular surface profile.
• Galvanised steel - Sweep blast-cleaning using non-metallic abrasive leaving a clean, rough and even pattern.
• Stainless steel - Abrasive blast cleaning to achieve a surface profile using non-metallic abrasive media which is suitable to achieve a sharp and angular surface profile.
• Shop primed steel - Sweep blasted or alternatively blasted to Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1) of at least 70 % of the surface.
• Coated surfaces - Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-2)
• Concrete - Minimum 4 weeks curing. Moisture content maximum 5 %. Prepare the surface by means of enclosed blast shot or diamond grinding and other appropriate means to abrade the surrounding concrete and to remove laitance.

Application

The product can be applied by airless spray. Brush is recommended for stripe coating and small areas, care must be taken to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Roller may be used for small areas but is not recommended for first primer coat. However, when using roller application care must be taken to apply sufficient material in order to achieve the specified dry film thickness.
