Specifications

Requirements to the base

Steel and galvanized surfaces. The material is applied to a previously dust-free, degreased, painted or primed in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations steel surface or a prepared (degreased) galvanized surface.

Previously painted surfaces suitable for repainting. Remove impurities (e.g., grease and salts). Surfaces must be dry and clean. Old surfaces with a painting that has exceeded the maximum application time of the next coat should be ground to roughness. Damaged surface areas should be handled in accordance with accepted procedures on how to prepare the base and maintenance operations. Place and time of prefinishing of the surface for applying the paint should be chosen so that the neat surface remains dry and clean until the next stage of painting the product.

Application

Before applying, the enamel should be thoroughly mixed for at least 5 minutes until an even consistency is obtained. Apply it on the prepared base by air or air-free methods of dispersing, as well as with a roller or brush. To obtain the material of necessary application viscosity, it is possible to add a mixed solvent (solvent, white spirit). When working with enamels at low temperatures, it is recommended to use highly volatile solvents (Р-646, Р-647). The surface to be painted should be dry and have a temperature of 3 °С above the dew point.  Recommended number of layers is 1-2. Perform the work in accordance with the ISO 12944-7:2017 standard

Package and storing 

The paint is stored in a tightly closed packaging at a temperature from -20 up to +30°С, away from moisture and direct sunlight, heat sources. Warranted storage life is 12 months from the date of production without violation of storage conditions. Slight delamination is allowed during the long-term storage, but it does not affect the quality of the material.

Tool cleaning 

Work tools and facilities are washed with solvent and xylene immediately after their usage.
