Recommended Use

Steel surfaces:

  • Environment classes C2-C4 and C5-I/C5-M on blast cleaned steel surfaces (ISO- 12944-2).

Aluminum and non-ferrous surfaces:

  • As a primer or protective coating in corrosivity categories C2- C4, C5 and CX (ISO- 12944-2 /2018).
  • As an adhesive layer for epoxy and polyurethane coating systems.
Compatible Coatings

Depending on the operating conditions the material can be used with different types of coatings:

  • Single pack acryl coating (1pack AY) of Rayston.
  • Two-component epoxy coatings (2 pack EP) of Rayston.
  • Two-component polyurethane coatings (2 pack PUR) of Rayston.

Note: Drying times and polymerization depend from the relative humidity, temperature, ventilation conditions and the thickness of the film. If maximum recoat time is exceeded, it is necessary to make surface roughness with abrasive, rinse with clean water to remove dirt and allow drying.

 The maximum overcoating time is 3 months without roughening provided the surface is free from dirt and grease. If the coating has been exposed to direct sunlight for some time, special attention must be paid for the removal of chalking with the suitable method before the paintingwork.

Application Data

Mixing Ratio: 4:1

Product Volume
Resin (Comp. A) 4 parts by volume
Curing Agent (Comp. B) 1 part by volume

Stir resin and curing agent separately (slow stirring) and then mix both components thoroughly with propeller stirrer. Before use the temperature of packaging and material should not be less than 3° C higher than the dew point. Add thinner only after both components have been thoroughly mixed and stir the mixture.

Thinning: If is necessary, the thinner Raystonthinner EP no more than 10% by volume..

Note: Adding a thinner will increase the drying time. In the case of using thinner other than recommended, the manufacturer not takes responsibility for any possible reduction in the quality of the coating.

Cleaner: Raystonthinner EP

Pot life:

  • Standard Comp. B: approx. 7 h after mixing
  • S-Comp. B: approx. 3 h after mixing
Application Method

Spray application: Airless spray is the main method of application. For other spraying methods, viscosity correction may be required.

Brush and Roller: Application by brush and by roller.
