404 Epoxy Metal Primer is a two pack, water-based, epoxy, anti-corrosive primer designed for the protection of steelwork. Whilst optimum performance will only be achieved by applying to well prepared substrates, 404 Epoxy Metal Primer will adhere well to minimally prepared surfaces.

404 Epoxy Metal Primer has been formulated to provide fast touch dry times and rapid hardness development.

Recommended for use as an anti-corrosive primer for steelwork, and also as a holding primer for grit blasted steel surfaces.

This product is for Professional Use Only.

Coverage

• 1 litre of 404 Epoxy Metal Primer will be sufficient to treat 4-6m² of surface, achieving an overall dry film thickness of 100-150 microns

Surface Preparation

Steel/Galvanised steel:

• Any rust, mill scale and other contaminants should be removed by gritblasting to Swedish Standard Sa 2.5
• Reduced levels of surface preparation, e.g. wire brushing to remove loose rust, are permissible, but may lead to lower performance levels

Mixing:

• Mix the two components together, preferably by mechanical means, until a uniform consistency has been achieved

Mixing Ratio:

• By Volume - 1 Base : 1 Curing Agent
• By Weight - 62.2 Base : 100 Curing Agent

Application

• Apply the material by brush, roller or airless spray, at a nominal rate of 4-6m² per litre per coat

Cleaning

• Clean equipment with 109 Tool Cleaner immediately after use

Curing

• Following 4 hours cure @ 20ºC the material will be hard dry, and then may be re-coated
• Allow 7 days cure @20ºC for optimum chemical resistance and mechanical properties
• The primer may be allowed to age and weather for a maximum period of up to 2 months prior to top coating

Limitations

• Do not apply to wet surfaces
• Do not apply at temperatures of 3°C or less

Storage & Shelf Life

• Store in dry conditions, out of direct sunlight, at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C
• Avoid frost
• 404 Epoxy Metal Primer has a minimum shelf life of 12 months when stored in original, unopened containers in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions

Health & Safety

• Avoid contact of the material with skin and eyes
• Wear gloves and goggles
• Wash off splashes immediately with soap and water
• Any eye contamination must be rapidly irrigated with copious amounts of clean water, and immediate medical attention sought
• Please refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information
• 404 Epoxy Metal Primer shall be applied strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
