Recommended Drying Times at 75% Relative Humidity
Temperature 1st Coat 2nd Coat 10-150°C (50-590°F) 4 hours 4 hours 15-200°C (59-680°F) 3 hours 3 hours 230°C (730°F) 2 hours 2 hours Complete drying time of each layer is important before applying subsequent layes. At higher humidity levels drying time may increase by 25-50%.When coating in enclosed areas, ventilation must be provided to facilitate proper drying.
Curing
Full polymerization and strength occurs within 30-45 days.
Compatibility
NanoPrimeTM has been tested with many low VOC high performance top coats. Contact us to determine if you’re top coat has been tested for compatibility.
- Surface Preparation
Check for and remove oil and grease on the surface per SSPS-SP WJ4. If oil or grease is present, use a phosphate-free cleaner to lift, emulsify and disperse all dirt, oil grease, mildew and any other type of contaminant.
Use a pressure water spray 3,000-3,500 psi (207-241bar) and/or steel brush per SSPC-SP3 to remove all loose surface corrosion. Solid and stable rusty surfaces are acceptable for coating.
If solvents were used to remove grease and oil, remove all solvent residue per SSPC-SP1 then remove all traces of solvents per SSPC-SP WJ4 pressure water wash before applying NRXTM coatings.
Mixing
NanoPrimeTM is thixotropic – it settles and gets thicker during storage. Use the NRXTM mixing disk with a diameter of approximately 1/3 the diameter of pail. Insert the mixing disk into the container until it is approximately 1-2 inches from the bottom of the container. Mix the coating for approximately 5-10 minutes at a rate that enables a vortex without drawing air into the coating. Coating is properly mixed when lifting the mixing disk out of the material, the coating flows smoothly like oil without dripping. As the coating will thicken in storage, confirm there is no material on the side walls or the bottom of the container during the mixing process, Re-mix daily before use.
Cleaning
Use water only. Clean equipment within 15 minutes of coating completion.
Note
When coating over existing paint NanoPrimeTMwill chemically react with the existing paint and in some cases may create a white staining. This is only cosmetic and will not affect performance. Compatibility is determined by the absence of bubbles after primer #1 dries and by adhesion testing.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Typical Thickness
Surfaces with old paint and rust: In areas with loose paint flakes and or rust pockets, prepare the surface to SSPC-SP-3 standard using power wire brushing and pressure wash surface to SSPC SP-WJ4. Spot prime rusty spots with approx. 125-150 microns wet film thickness; allow to dry and apply Primers 1 and 2.
Surfaces with rust less than 50 microns
Primer #1 Wet Film Thickness 120-140 microns
Dry Film Thickness Approx. 50-60 microns
Primer #2 Wet Film Thickness 150-175 microns
Dry Film Thickness Approx. 60-70 microns
Surfaces with rust greater than 50 microns
NanoPrimeTM can be applied to rusted surfaces with greater than 50 microns of rust. To obtain optimal adhesion, it is recommended to clean surface to SSPC-SP-3 to remove loose rust, scale and deteriorated coatings to obtain a sound rusted surface. Pressure wash surface. Increase the wet film thickness of Primer #2 to 175 – 200 microns.
