and removal of oil and grease in accordance with the SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning standard.
Abrasive blasting Abrasive blast to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6 (or SSPC-SP10 for better results). If the blasted surface has oxidized before coating, it must be re-treated to meet the specified standard requirements. Surface defects exposed after blasting shall be treated by grinding, filling or other appropriate methods.
Shop-primed surfaces: the product may be used over unrusted inorganic zinc silicate shop primer; before coating, welds and damaged areas shall be blast-cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) / SSPC-SP6 (or SSPC-SP10 for better results). If the shop primer shows extensive breakdown or heavy rusting, the whole surface shall be blast-cleaned.
Repair of damaged areas Damaged areas must be abrasive blasted to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007). If local abrasive blasting is not possible, mechanical grinding to St3 (ISO 8501-1:2007) may be used. Repair application of HI-EPOXY 1498 Epoxy Zinc-rich Primer may proceed only after surface preparation meets the specified requirements.
Before application of HI-EPOXY 1498 Epoxy Zinc-rich Primer, ensure the surface to be coated is clean and dry, and application must be carried out within the specified recoat interval (refer to the application instructions of the relevant product).
Other surfaces: if this coating is to be applied to other surfaces, consult the local Nippon Paint company for further information.
Application is not recommended above 45 °C ambient temperature or above 85% relative humidity; the steel temperature must be at least 3 °C above the dew point of the surrounding air.

Note: *Before overcoating, the surface shall be free of chalking and contamination, and shall be sealed where necessary. When the film has been exposed outdoors for a long time and the surface is smooth or contaminated, overcoat adhesion may be affected; therefore the film surface shall be abraded, sweep-blasted or high-pressure water-jetted to ensure adequate adhesion.
The data above are for guidance only. Actual recoat and drying times may be shorter or longer depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, the underlying coating system, and prior hand or mechanical preparation conditions.

Curing agent: 12 months (25 °C). Store in accordance with national regulations. Keep the product sealed in a dry, cool, well-ventilated store away from heat and sources of ignition. High temperatures shorten the storage period and may cause the paint to gel in the container. The above is the minimum shelf life; thereafter, testing is required to confirm the product is still usable.
