Product Specification

Film Thickness

Coverage: 10m² per litre @ 50 microns dft

• HMG technical data sheets indicate a dry film thickness that will be achieved when applying a particular wet film thickness.
• These values are a guide only and are not to be used as specifications.
• Film thickness will vary depending on actual use and specification.
• Great care should be taken to achieve the dft stated in the agreed specification and to avoid areas of excessively low or high thickness.

Drying Times

Surface Preparation

Bare Substrates:

• New Galvanised Steel to be degreased using suitable:
  • HMG Prep Clean 2802 Degreaser
  • HMG Prep Clean 2803 Degreaser
  • or HMG Prep Clean 2804 Degreaser
• Application of HMG Mordant Wash prior to application of HMG Etch Primer and suitable HMG Primer
• Aged Galvanised to be degreased using:
  • HMG Prep Clean 2802 Degreaser
  • HMG Prep Clean 2803 Degreaser
  • or HMG Prep Clean 2804 Degreaser
  • and lightly abraded prior to application of suitable HMG Primer
• Aluminium to be degreased using:
  • HMG Prep Clean 2802 Degreaser
  • HMG Prep Clean 2803 Degreaser
  • or HMG Prep Clean 2804 Degreaser
  • abrade with P180 – P320, prior to application of suitable HMG Etch Primer and suitable HMG Primer
• Mild Steel remove millscale and thoroughly degrease using:
  • HMG Prep Clean 2802 Degreaser
  • HMG Prep Clean 2803 Degreaser
  • or HMG Prep Clean 2804 Degreaser
  • abrade with P80 – P180 if necessary, before applying suitable HMG Primer
• Shot Blasted Steel remove all traces of blast grit/sand before applying suitable HMG Primer

Previously painted/General Maintenance:

• High pressure wash to remove all loose debris and poorly adhered existing coatings to remove salts and other contaminants
• Degrease using suitable HMG Prep Clean 2800 to remove grease and oils not removed with pressure washing alone
• Remove all loose and failed coatings back to firm, wire brush to remove rust and corrosion to clean metallic appearance
• All edges to be firm and well feathered
• Abrade to promote good adhesion
• Wipe over with degreaser to remove loose debris from abrasion
• Substrate to be clean, free of grease, oils, dust and completely dry prior to application

Application

• Read and follow Safety Data Sheet, Product Information Sheet, and label instructions in the 'Data Sheets' section above
• Shake can for a minimum of 2 minutes prior to use ensuring that the contents are fully mixed
• A trial sample should be done prior to application to guarantee correct colour & sheen
• Hold the can 10 - 20cm from surface to be sprayed, moving the can steadily in a straight line, overlapping slightly on each pass

Substrates:

• C71 Speedline is suitable for use on all properly cleaned and prepared bare ferrous and non-ferrous metals and most previously coated metals
• Previous coatings should be fully cured and prepared, test patch is recommended to check compatibility
• Previously painted timber should be dry with all coatings sound and fully adhered
• Failed previous coatings should be removed back to firm well feathered edge
• Suitable primer is recommended for use over aluminium and new galvanised metals
• Rusted steel to be suitably prepared and anti-corrosive primer applied prior to C71
• Not for application over chlorinated rubber or bitumen coatings

Application Climate:

• Substrate temperature should be 5⁰C or above for application and during cure, and a minimum of 3⁰C above the dew point
• Adequate dry air ventilation should be supplied during drying

Surface Preparation:

• Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease, oils, dust and other contamination prior to application
• Thoroughly degrease using suitable HMG degreaser and where applicable, abrade to remove rust and promote good adhesion
• For best results and optimum corrosion protection mild steel should be blast cleaned to Sa2.5
