Tikkurila Temachlor 40 is a one-component high-build chlorinated rubber-based paint. Ideal for steel structures. Temachlor 40 has excellent sag resistance, thus enabling a thick paint film to be formed with one application.

It can be applied at sub-zero temperatures, thus making it suitable for surfaces exposed to marine or industrial climates and mild chemical stress, such as bridges, cranes, conveyors, harbor equipment and tank exteriors.

Temachlor 40 withstands dry heat up to +80°C.

Recommended Film Thicknesses and Theoretical Coverage

Practical coverage depends on the application method, painting conditions and the shape and roughness of the surface to be coated.

Drying Times

Drying and recoating times are related to the film thickness, temperature, the relative humidity of the air and ventilation.

Surface Preparation

Primed Surfaces:

• Oil, grease, salt and dirt are removed from the surface by appropriate means.
• Repair any damage to the primer coat.
• Note the overcoating time of primer. (ISO 12944-4).

Recommended Primers

• Temanyl MS Primer
• Temasil 90
• Temazinc 77
• Temazinc 99

Recommended Topcoats

• Temachlor 40

Application Conditions

• All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from contamination.
• The temperature of the ambient air and surface should not fall below -10ºC during application and drying.
• Relative humidity of the air should not exceed 85% during application and drying.
• The surface temperature of steel should remain at least 3°C above the dew point.
• Good ventilation and sufficient air movement is required in confined areas during application and drying.

Application

Stir the product carefully before use.

• For airless spraying, the product is thinned approximately 0–10%.
• Recommended nozzle tip is 0.013"–0.019" and pressure 160–180 bar.
• Spray angle shall be chosen according to the shape of the object.
• For brush application product should be thinned according to the circumstances.

Thinner/Cleaning

Thinner 1006, Thinner 1053

VOC

The Volatile Organic Compounds amount to 560 g/litre of paint. VOC content of the paint (thinned 10% by volume) is 595 g/l of paint.
