Surface Preparation

Oil, grease, salts and dirt are removed by appropriate means. (ISO 12944-4)

Steel Surfaces:

• Blast clean to grade Sa2½. (ISO 8501-1).
• If blast cleaning is not possible, phosphating is recommended for cold rolled steel to improve adhesion.

Zinc Surfaces:

• Sweep blast clean with mineral abrasives, e.g. quartz sand, to an even roughness.
• If sweep blasting is not possible, the surface should be roughened by hand abrading or washed with Panssaripesu detergent.

Aluminium Surfaces:

• Sweep blast clean with non-metallic abrasives to an even roughness.
• If sweep blasting is not possible, the surface should be roughened by hand abrading or washed with Maalipesu detergent.

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.

Application Conditions

With hardener 008 5611:

• All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from contamination.
• During application and drying the temperature of the surface should not fall below 0°C.
• Relative humidity of the air should not exceed 80% during application and drying.
• The surface temperature of the steel should remain at least 3°C above the dew point.
• The product should not be applied at temperatures below 0°C where there is a possibility of ice formation on the substrate.
• For proper application the temperature of the paint itself should be above +15°C during mixing and application.
• Good ventilation and sufficient air movement is required in confined areas during application and drying.

With hardener 008 5613 (Fast cure low temperature):

• All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from contamination.
• During application and drying the temperature of the surface should not fall below -5°C.
• The surface temperature of steel should remain at least 3°C above the dew point.
• Care has to be taken that there is no ice on the substrate.
• For proper application the temperature of the paint itself should be above +15°C during mixing and application.
• Good ventilation and sufficient air movement is required in confined areas during application and drying.

Note! There is a natural tendency of this coating to chalk, discolor or yellow unevenly. It is recommended to use polyurethane topcoat when there are high aesthetical requirements on colour appearance.

Mixing Components

• First stir base and hardener separately.
• The correct proportions of base and hardener must be mixed thoroughly before use.
• Use power mixer for mixing.
• Insufficient mixing or incorrect mixing ratio will result in uneven drying of the surface and weaken the properties of the coating.

Application

• For airless spraying, the product is thinned approximately 0–10%.
• Recommended nozzle tip is 0.015"–0.021" and pressure 120–180 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 1031.

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.

Health And Safety

Containers are provided with safety labels, which should be observed. Further information about hazardous influences and protection are detailed in individual health and safety data sheets.
