Conventional Air Spray Reduce up to 8% with Q650 if required Air Assisted Airless Reduce up to 8% with Q650 if required Airless Reduce up to 8% with Q650 if required Electrostatic Spray Some adjustments for polarity may be necessary to maximum of 2 m.ohms Brush & Roll Use as described within specified pot life - Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be clean and free from dirt, oils, rust, flaking paint, and other contaminants. Ensure a sandblast quality of SSPC-SP6 (NACE 3) commercial blast or better. Proper surface preparation will enhance the performance of the coating system.
Important - FerraPrime should be top-coated within one week to ensure good inter-coat adhesion. Temperatures in excess of 80°F can shorten this time due to an accelerated cure response. Outside this limit, the surface should be sanded and cleaned prior to top coating.
- Application Instructions
- Thinning - Thinning is not necessary, but may facilitate flow depending on application equipment, using up to 10% total by volume. Only use the specified thinners approved by the manufacturer. Be aware that additional reduction (solvent) will increase the VOC levels of the mixed coating. Always know VOC laws for coating applications in your area and follow regulated restrictions.
- Application - Mix thoroughly before use, A to B ratio is 3:1. Combine 1 gallon “A” FerraPrime Epoxy Primer with 1 quart “B” 80105C and mix well. Apply when surface and air temperature are between 35°F - 100°F. Ensure the surface temperature is at least 5°F above the dewpoint.
- Drying Time - See application data for typical dry times. Low temperature, high humidity, poor ventilation and thick films will slow drying.
- Clean Up - Flush mixed material from pot and lines immediately after use. Clean up paint tools or spills immediately with recommended thinner, carefully observing cautions on paint and thinner labels. Dried paint may be removed by scraping.
