Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Application Method
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Typical Uses
- Qualified for continuous standard mineral oil immersion
- For use in industrial, structural and transportation applications.
- For use in fabrication\
- For use on interior or exterior metal surfaces
- Has superior resistance to moisture or fumes
- Temperature is limited to 250°F
- Not for severe service in environments such as acids or base
- Limitations
- Limitations for severe chemical acid or base.
- PR 33 Series primers are acceptable with a minimum 24-hour dry time when immersed in standard mineral oils. The GCI first recommended cure time remains a safe 3-day period. This would accommodate ambient and seasonal temperature variations.
- Application
Surface Preparation
- SSPC: SSP1 – solvent cleaning
- SSPC: SSP2 – hand tool cleaning
- SSPC: SSP6 to achieve 1.5 to 2.0 mils anchor profile (*) as determined with a Keane-Tator Surface Profile Comparator, Testex Tape or similar device.
- Remove abrasive residue and dust from surface. Remove weld splatter, round off rough welds and sharp edges. The surface must be clean and free from oil, moisture, grease, dust, mill scale, and rust.
Mixing
Paint must be thoroughly mixed to a uniform consistency with a low-speed air-powered or explosion-proof power agitator.
Application Equipment
- Application Equipment - The following is a guide suitable for equipment from various manufacturers. For proper spray characteristics, changes in pressure and type size may be needed.
- Airless pump ratio - 30:1
- Non-cycling, air pressure to pump, approximately - 40 - 50 psi
- Tip pressure is approximately 1200 psi.
- Tip size - .015-inch to .017-inch
- Conventional Spray - The following is a guide suitable for equipment from various manufacturers. For proper spray characteristics, changes in pressure and type size may be needed. Mainline air supply with moisture and oil trap is recommended.
- Main air-line pressure - 100 psi
- Fluid (pot) pressure - 60 - 65 psi
- Atomizing (gun) - 40 - 70 psi
- Tip size - .046-inch to .070-inch
Film Thickness
Minimum Maximum Wet Mils 3.5 mils 5 mils DFT Mils 1.5 mils 2.5 mils
Recommended Thinning
- Conventional equipment under normal conditions uses GCI ES-5 (xylene). In high ambient temperatures, use GCI ES-2.
Application conditions
Optimum application temperatures are at temperatures above 50°F (painting in direct sunlight is not recommended in hot weather) and surface temperatures must be at least 5°F above the dew point to avoid condensation formation. Do not apply when humidity is high and condensation is possible.
Average Drying time
- To Touch - 10 - 15 Minutes
- Tack Free - 30 Minutes
- Through dry - 8 Hours
- Re-coat - 30 - 60 Minutes for alkyds, 6 months max.
Dry times are affected by air and surface temperatures, relative humidity ventilation and film thickness.
Clean-Up Solvent
- GCI ES - 5 (xylene)
- GCI ES - 19 (MEK)
- Clean equipment immediately after use.
- All surplus materials and empty containers should be disposed of according to regional regulations.
Recommended Topcoats
Enamels
- GCI Alkyd Enamel Series: 11, 25, 41, 44, 55, 75
- Intermediate service, top coat with epoxy or polyurethane enamel
- GCI 244 Compliant Series alkyd
