Teamac Mordant Solution - T Wash
Teamac Mordant Solution is a specialised, single-pack etching agent designed to prepare galvanised surfaces for painting. This acidic solution, containing a copper salt, reacts with zinc surfaces, creating a more adhesive surface for paints that otherwise might not adhere well. The solution is available in a blue colour, which changes to grey after application, indicating that the surface is ready for subsequent coatings.
Application and Usage
This solution is ideal for use on both new and weathered galvanised surfaces. For best results, it should be applied within seven days of galvanising. Weathered galvanised surfaces can also be treated, although the reactivity of the solution may diminish with the age of the galvanising, potentially leading to uneven coloration. It is crucial to apply the product only to clean, degreased, and uncontaminated surfaces. If the galvanised surface shows no colour change upon application, this may indicate contamination, and additional surface preparation will be necessary.
- Do not recoat treated surfaces as the solution is designed to be a single-application treatment.
- Avoid using on non-galvanised surfaces or where a significant build-up of material may occur.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for achieving the best results. The solution must be applied to surfaces that have been thoroughly cleaned. Any contamination, such as oil or grease, should be removed with a universal degreaser before application. Use an abrasive pad along with water and a suitable cleaning agent to ensure the surface is ready for treatment. Failure to prepare the surface adequately can result in poor adhesion and suboptimal performance of the paint.
