Features & Benefits

• Quick-drying anticorrosive single layer or finish coat pigmented with zinc phosphate as anticorrosive inhibiting pigment
• Also available in a Micaceous Iron Oxide or aluminium pigmented version
• Complies with EU Directive 2004/42/EC, The Paints Directive on the limitation of volatile organic compounds: subcategory i
• Recommended use as an anticorrosive single layer coat for steel structures, general steel work and a multitude of applications for heavy and light steel industry, where quick drying properties are required
• For general use, in exterior and interior steel surfaces
• Suitable for protection of steel in mild to medium atmospheric corrosive environments
• Service temperature: - Maximum, dry exposure only: 120°C 

Preparation

• Cleanliness:
  • Remove oil, grease and other contaminants by suitable detergent cleaning
  • Remove salts, detergents and other contaminants by high pressure fresh water cleaning
• New build:
  • All damage of shopprimer and contamination from storage and fabrication should be thoroughly mechanically/chemically cleaned prior to final painting
  • Abrasive blasting to min. Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1) / SP 10 (SSPC)
  • Remove dust, blast media and loose materials
• Maintenance and Repair:
  • Spot abrasive blasting to min. PSa 2 (ISO 8501-2) / SP 6 (SSPC)
  • Minor areas can be cleaned by power tool to St 3 provided the surface is roughened and not polished
  • Remove dust, blast media and loose materials

Application

• Stir well before use
• Viscosity may increase during storage
• Thinner/Cleaner: Hempel's Thinner 08080
• Apply with brush, roller or airless spray (Nozzle pressure: 200 bar [2900 psi] Nozzle orifice: 0.013-0.019")
• Dry film thickness: 60 - 120 micron (80 micron recommended)
• Wet film thickness: 125 - 250 micron (170 micron recommended)
• Coverage: 4m²/L - 8m²/L (6m²/L recommended)
• Surface temperature must be above 5°C during application and curing
• To avoid condensation, apply on a clean and dry surface with a temperature that is at least 3°C above the dew point
• Relative humidity must be below 90% during curing
• Relative humidity must be below 90% during application

If brush or roller application is used, more coats will be necessary to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Spray data are indicative and subject to adjustment. Pressure is for a material temperature of 20°C.

Product may be specified in another film thickness than indicated depending on purpose and area of use. This will alter spreading rate, drying and curing time and overcoating interval. For best performance, avoid excessive film thickness.

If the maximum overcoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure intercoat adhesion. The surface must be clean before overcoating.
