Applications & Uses

Application Method
Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
Substrate & Surface Preparation
  • Must be clean and dry. Any dirt, dust, oil, contaminants, loose rust or loose mil scale must be removed.
  • Immersion Carbon Steel: Not Recommended Non-Immersion Carbon Steel: Minimum SSPC-SP3 Power tool Cleaning. For optimum performance SSPC- SP6 Commercial Blast, surface profile 1.5-3.0 Mil.
  • Galvanized Steel: Not recommended
  • Previously painted surfaces: Surface must be sufficiently roughened, either by abrasive blasting or mechanical abrasion. Surface must attain a minimum 3B rating in accordance with ASTM D3359 “X-Scribe” test. Apply a test patch to check compatibility, prior to primary application.
  • Topcoats: APCO 220, APCO 400HS, APCO 427

Mixing: Power mix to uniform color & consistency

Thinning:

  • Spray: Up to 12 oz/gal with S132
Application
  • Pre-application: Flush all equipment with thinner S107 or acetone
  • Temperature: Application range from 40°F-110°F surface temperature. Do not apply below 40°F.
  • Method: Apply one coat maintaining a wet edge to achieve a WFT of 4-6 Mils. Maximum performance will be achieved with two coats totaling 4-6 mils DFT.
Application Continued

Inspection: Visually inspect film to ensure adequate coverage.

Clean up & disposal: After use immediately flush all equipment with thinner S107 or acetone. Dispose of all containers, solvents and unused materials in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations.
