|---|
| New steel | Remove grease from the surface with a suitable cleaner, and rinse off salts and other contaminants with fresh water. Remove weld slag, and grind welds and sharp edges smooth. Abrasive blast clean to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1); the ideal surface roughness is Rz 30–75 µm (medium roughness on the ISO 8503-1 comparator). Apply the primer within 4 hours of blast cleaning. |
|---|---|
| Shop-primed surface | Welds, heat-treated areas and damaged areas must be blast cleaned to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1) or cleaned with power tools to St 3. Only sound, approved zinc-rich shop primer may be retained. When exposed to humid conditions, zinc salts form on the zinc-rich primer surface; before recoating, remove soluble zinc salts with fresh water and remove white rust (zinc corrosion products) with a stiff brush. If the zinc-rich primer is damaged over a large area, full blast cleaning is recommended. |
| Repair | Remove oil, grease, salts, dust and damaged old coating |
Application environment temperature 5–38 °C, relative humidity not more than 85%, and the steel surface temperature should be at least 3 °C above the dew point. Do not apply outdoors in adverse weather such as rain, fog, snow, strong wind and heavy dust;
At application environment temperatures of -5 to 5 °C, use a low-temperature-curing product or take other measures to ensure proper film curing.
| Mixing | This product is supplied as two containers forming one unit. Stir the base thoroughly with a power mixer, add the curing agent in the specified ratio, stir again with a power mixer, and add the recommended thinner to adjust to a suitable application viscosity. Once mixed, use within the specified pot life. |

Note: the above data are measured under well-ventilated conditions, at typical film thickness and 75% relative humidity, and are for reference only.
Actual drying times and the interval before recoating may be longer or shorter depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, the underlying paint, requirements for early handling and mechanical strength, and other factors.
| Preceding coat | Apply directly to steel surfaces prepared to Sa2.5 or St3, or to approved shop primer, zinc-rich primer or epoxy primer surfaces. |
