Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Use
To be used for painting weathered galvanized or previously painted surfaces of transmission or communications towers, poles, substation structures, chain link fencing, buildings and railroad bridges.
- Limitations
Not intended for immersion service, severe industrial exposures, new galvanized structures, severe acid or alkali environments, surfaces subject to splash or spillage of acids, alkalies or solvents. Do not use for surface temperatures above 200º F.
- Surface Preparation
The surface to be coated must be dry, clean and free of contamination. Mininum surface preparation is SSPC-SP2 Hand Tool Cleaning. Can be applied to previously painted surfaces in sound condition.
- Application
Mix thoroughly before use.
- Mitt: Use a high quality paint mitt.
- Airless Spray - Use .027-.029 tip; maintain 2500 psi operating air pressure at the tip without surge.
- Brush : Use a high quality natural bristle brush.
- Roller : Use a 3/8” nap roller with a solvent resistant core
Thinning
For airless spray application, thin up to 10% by volume with W-1012 as needed. Thinning is not recommended for brush, roller or mitt application. Use W-1012 for clean up.
Danger : Rags, steel wool or waste soaked with this product may spontaneously catch fire if improperly discarded. Immediately after use, place rags, steel wool or waste in a sealed waterfilled metal container
Climate
Use this product only if the substrate temperature and ambient air temperature is between 35°F and 120˚F is expected not to decrease for at least two hours after application. Also, the substrate temperature must be 5°F above the dewpoint for a period of at least two hours after application to avoid condensation occurring on wet paint.
