• Particularly suitable for maintenance painting of steel structures
• Excellent anti-corrosion properties
• Resistant to spillage and splashes of many chemicals
• Good abrasion resistance
• Good flexibility
• Generally exhibits good recoat compatibility over various aged coating surfaces
• Good compatible recoat performance over most coatings such as epoxy paints, polyurethane topcoats, chlorinated rubber paints, alkyd paints and acrylic paints

Recommended substrate condition and temperature

Substrate condition

• Bare steel: abrasive blast clean to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1) for excellent anti-corrosion performance
• Bare steel: abrasive blasting to Sa2 of International Standard ISO-8501-1, roughness 40–70 µm (1.6–2.8 mil), or power tool cleaning to International Standard ISO-8501-1

St2, also achieving good anticorrosive performance.

• Shop-primed steel: prepare to Pt3 (SPSS)
• Firm and well-adhered existing coatings: abrade thoroughly and ensure the surface is clean and dry.

Substrate Temperature

• Ambient temperatures as low as -5 °C (23 °F) are acceptable during application and curing, provided the substrate surface is dry and free of ice.
• During application and curing, the substrate temperature must be at least 3 °C (5 °F) above the dew point

Instructions for use

Volume mixing ratio: base : curing agent = 83:17

• Excessive thinning may reduce the sag resistance of the wet film and slow curing.
• Ensure the mixed paint temperature of the base and curing agent is above 10 °C (50 °F); otherwise, additional thinner may be required to bring the paint viscosity

adjust to a state suitable for site application.

• The thinner should be added after the two components are mixed

Recoat interval for a coating at 150 µm (6.0 mils) dry film thickness

Notes

• The surface must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants.
• Applying the subsequent coat before the previous coat is fully cured gives better intercoat adhesion.
• If a high-gloss topcoat is applied after the maximum overcoating interval is exceeded, an appropriate intermediate coat is required.
• If this recoat interval is exceeded, surface roughening is required

Note: ensure continuous, adequate ventilation during application and curing (see Safety Sheet 1433 and Information Sheet 1434). Pot life after mixing (at suitable application viscosity)

Safety Precautions

• For the coating and its recommended thinners, see Safety Sheets 1430 and 1431 and the relevant Material Safety Data Sheet
• This is a solvent-borne coating. Avoid inhaling spray mist and solvent vapours, and avoid contact of uncured paint with skin and eyes.
