All surfaces to be coated shall be clean, dry and free from contamination. Before application, all surfaces shall be assessed and prepared in accordance with ISO 8504:2000. The product shall be applied over the recommended anticorrosive primer or intermediate coat within the specified overcoating interval; the primer or intermediate coat surface shall be dry and free from contamination. When applied over existing coatings, chalk, grease and other contaminants shall be removed by appropriate methods. In cracked or damaged areas, the substrate shall be prepared to Sa2½ or St3 and the primer repaired before applying this product.
1. During application, ensure good ventilation and exhaust, keep away from ignition sources, and wear a mask, gloves and other protective equipment; adequate ventilation shall also be maintained during curing. 2. When mixing, first stir the base thoroughly, then add the curing agent in the specified ratio and mix uniformly; adjust the thinner amount according to application requirements and temperature changes, and mix and induce thoroughly. 3. Excessive thinning will reduce sag resistance and slow curing. 4. Over-thick application will seriously affect drying, curing, overcoating performance and handling time. 5. After long-term exposure, before overcoating, ensure the old film surface is free from contamination and abrade the surface before applying the next coat. 6. With brush or roller application, high film thickness and a good continuous film cannot be obtained in a single pass; multiple coats are required. 7. When the product is prepared with bright chrome-free red or yellow pigments and applied over dark primers, multiple coats are required for good hiding; therefore a light-coloured primer or intermediate coat is recommended with these colours. 8. During application and curing, the substrate temperature shall be above 5 °C and at least 3 °C above the dew point, and the relative humidity shall not exceed 85%. 9. Cutting structures coated with this coating produces fumes; appropriate protection shall be taken. 10. When work is interrupted, do not leave paint in hoses, spray guns or spray equipment. Flush all equipment thoroughly with thinner. If work is interrupted for too long, remix a fresh batch of paint before resuming. 11. All equipment shall be cleaned with thinner immediately after use. Periodically flushing spray equipment during the daily work is good practice. The frequency of cleaning depends on the quantity sprayed, temperature, spraying time and interruptions. 12. Remaining paint and empty cans shall be disposed of in accordance with relevant local regulations.

1. For the coating and its recommended thinners, see the safety sheets and the safety data of the relevant materials. This is a solvent-borne coating; avoid inhaling spray mist and solvent vapours, and avoid exposing skin and eyes and contact with uncured paint as far as possible. 2. All work related to the application and use of this product must comply with the relevant national health, safety and environmental standards and regulations. 3. If welding or flame cutting is required on metal coated with this product, dust and fumes will be generated; use appropriate personal protective equipment and adequate local ventilation. 4. If in doubt about the suitability of this product, consult the company.
