All surfaces to be coated shall be clean, dry and free from contaminants. Before coating, all surfaces shall be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504:2000. Blast to Sa 2½ with surface roughness 40–75 µm. Before rust removal, remove oil, grease and welding spatter, and grind welds and sharp corners. Film surfaces coated with this coating, where mechanically damaged and locally rusted, shall be locally blast cleaned to Sa 2½ or power-tool cleaned to St3 before local repair of the primer. If the old film surface chalks or produces zinc salts, the zinc salts and contaminants may be removed before applying the intermediate coat or topcoat.
1. During application, ensure ventilation and exhaust, keep away from sources of ignition, and wear protective equipment such as masks and gloves; adequate ventilation shall also be maintained during curing. 2. When mixing, first stir the base thoroughly, then add the curing agent per the ratio and mix evenly; adjust the thinner quantity according to application needs and temperature changes, stir well and allow induction; strain through a 120-mesh sieve before use and keep stirring during use. 3. Excessive thinner reduces sag resistance; never exceed the environmental regulation limits on thinner quantity. 4. This product is suitable only for application over blast-cleaned steel surfaces and approved epoxy zinc dust coatings and inorganic zinc silicate coatings; it must not be applied over other types of coating. Alkyd or alkyd-modified coatings must not be applied directly over this product's coating. 5. During application and curing, the substrate temperature must be above 5 °C and at least 3 °C above the dew point, and relative humidity shall not exceed 85%. 6. Cutting structures coated with this coating produces fumes; take appropriate protection. 7. This product is not suitable for underwater use. 8. Avoid dry spray and over-thick application during application; applying the next coat over a dry-sprayed coating may cause pinholes, and over-thick application extends curing, handling and recoat times. The film thickness must match the surface roughness; low film thickness should not be applied on high-roughness surfaces, and over-thick application should be avoided. 9. When work is interrupted, do not leave coating in the paint line, spray gun or spray equipment. Flush all equipment thoroughly with thinner. If the interruption is too long, it is recommended to mix a fresh batch of paint for application. 10. Clean all equipment with thinner immediately after use. Periodically flushing spray equipment during the working day is good practice. The flushing frequency depends on the spray quantity, temperature and spray duration, including interruptions. 11. Dispose of leftover paint and empty cans in accordance with the 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.
