Surface Preparation
Coatings performance is dependent upon surface preparation. Steel - metal preparation SSPC 6. The surface must be clean and free from oil, moisture, grease and rust.
Mixing
Paint must be thoroughly mixed to a uniform consistency with a low speed air powered or explosion proof power agitator prior to use.
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 mils Film thickness below minimum may degrade coating performance and above the maximum will affect dry time and recoat window.
Recommended Thinner
- GCI ES-5 (xylene) up to 20%
Application conditions
Coatings material must be above 50°F before use. Air and substrate surface temperature must be above 50°F. Surface temperature must be a minimum of 5°F above the dew point to prevent condensation formation. Do not apply when humidity is high and condensation is possible. Painting of metal in direct sunlight is not recommended.
Average Drying time
- To Touch - 15 - 20 Minutes
- Tack Free - 20 - 30 Minutes
- Through dry - 12 - 16 Hours
- Re-coat - 16 - 20 Hours
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.
- 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.
