- Surface Preparation
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free of all foreign contaminants.
A SSPC-SP1 Solvent Cleaning with Highland 901 Cleaning Solvent is recommended before blasting or other cleaning method.Carbon Steel - Immersion:
Obtain a 2-3 mil angular blast profile using one of the recommended methods below.- Best: A SSPC-SP5/NACE 1 White Metal Blast Cleaning is recommended for maximum coating performance and longevity.
- Good: A SSPC-SP10/NACE 2 Near White Metal Blast Cleaning provides good results. Or
- Good: Hand or power tool clean with acid washing to achieve a visual cleanliness level of SSPC-SP 10 with a minimum 1 mils etched profile.
Carbon Steel - Non-Immersion:
Obtain a 2-3 mil angular blast profile using one of the recommended methods below.- Best: A SSPC-SP10/NACE 2 Near White Metal Blast Cleaning is recommended for maximum coating performance and longevity.
- Good: A SSPC-SP6/NACE 3 Commercial Blast Cleaning provides good results.
- Galvanized Steel: Contact a Highland representative as recommendation will vary depending on substrate and exposure conditions.
Note: If maximum recoat time has expired, the surface will need to be scuffed prior to recoating or topcoating.
- Mixing & Application
Mixing: Highland 70-HF Series needs to be thoroughly mixed using mechanical agitation. Mix entire contents of Part “A” Activator (70- AHF-100) with Part “B” Base (70-HF-####) (4:1 by volume) Product is ready to apply after proper mixing and a 15 minute induction period.
Reduction: Reduction is not required, if desired, reduce up to 10% with Highland #740 reducer.Highland 70-HFSeries is designed for various spray applications. To ensure optimal performance for alternate forms of application equipment, please consult a Highland representative for additional recommendations.
