Surface Preparation


Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures

Substrate conditions

  • Steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½ for excellent corrosion protection
  • Steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½
  • Steel; power tool cleaned to min. ISO-St2
  • Shop primed steel; sweep blasted or power tool cleaned to SPSS-Ss or SPSS-Pt2

 

Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions


  • Substrate temperature during application and curing should be above 5°C (41°F)
  • Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point

Application


Instructions for Use

Stir well before use

  • The temperature of the paint should preferably be above 15°C (59°F), otherwise extra thinner may be required to obtain application viscosity
  • Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance
  • Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to information sheets information sheet 1433 and Directives for Ventilation Practice information sheet 1434)
