---|---|---|---|
Dry Film Thickness | Wet Film Thickness | Theoretical Coverage | |
Minimum | 75 µm | 129 µm | 7.7 m2/litre |
Maximum | 150 µm | 258 µm | 3.9 m2/litre |
Practical coverage depends on the application method, painting conditions and the shape and roughness of the surface to be coated |
Drying Times
Product Data | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Applied to 75 microns DFT | 10℃ | 23℃ | 35℃ | |
Dust Free | 40 min | 15 min | 10 min | |
Hard Dry | 2.5 hr | 1.5 hr | 45 mins | |
Overcoating | Minimum | See Product Notes | ||
Maximum | Indefinite if clean and sound | |||
Drying and recoating times are related to the film thickness, temperature, the relative humidity of the air and ventilation |
Surface Preparation
- All surfaces to be coated should be dry and cleaned as necessary to remove all oil, grease, salts, weld flux or other contamination
- Where necessary, remove weld spatter and grind smooth all sharp edges and weld seams
- Blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007), surface profile 50-75 microns
Mixing
- Must be mixed thoroughly by using a mechanical agitator before use
- Agitate periodically to ensure paint remains homogeneous
Thinner
Application Conditions
- Only apply in conditions of good ventilation which must be maintained during drying and curing
- Do not apply when rain, mist, sleet or snow are imminent
- During application and drying time of the paint coating, the surface should be dry, the relative humidity should not exceed 85% and the steel temperature should remain at least 3°C above the dew point
- Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC
Application Methods
- Airless Spray: Output fluid pressure at tip 2000-2500 psi, tip Size 17-19 thou (0.43-0.48 mm)
- Thinning of the coating is not recommended as this will reduce the build qualities
- Application by brush/roller will result in a reduced film thickness and is recommended only for small areas of touch up/remedial work
Product Notes
- Overcoating:
- May be overcoated with itself or other products from the ViterLac, ViterChlor or ViterThane range
- When the primer has been applied to 75 microns DFT, allow a minimum of 4 hours at 23ºC before overcoating with ViterLac intermediates/finishes or ViterThane PLS/PLV
- Allow longer intervals if applying at lower temperatures and higher film builds
- The compatibility and suitability of overcoating etc. should be confirmed prior to application
- In common with most alkyd primers, this product is not recommended for extended exterior exposure, exposure in aggressive or coastal locations, or for immersion - epoxy primers are preferred for these conditions - please consult our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for more information
- Some shades may contain lead based colourants and these are labelled (L)
Health & Safety
- Containers are provided with safety labels which should be observed
