Applications & Uses

Application Procedure

Ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 30°C during application and cure. Dry weather conditions and a dry substrate are essential.

Preparation

  • Steel- Remove all rust, mill scale and surface contamination by grit blasting and other mechanical means to a bright rust free surface (SA2½). Oil and grease contamination should be removed with a suitable cleaning fluid and the residue flushed off with water Allow to dry thoroughly.
  • Priming- To avoid flash rusting of prepared surfaces, it may be necessary to apply a holding primer. This must be compatible with Resitech MP Primer. Coat with an application of Resitech MP Primer. The primer is supplied in pre-weighed packages. It is essential that all of the curing agent, Pack A, is added to all of the resin component, Pack B, and that it is then mixed thoroughly for 60 seconds with a mechanical paint stirrer. When fully mixed, the primer should be applied immediately to the prepared substrate by brush or roller. The coverage rate of the primer is dependent upon the texture and porosity of the substrate, but will be in the range of 4-6m2 /liter.
  • Mixing and application- Trawlerdek is a 3 component system which is supplied in pre-weighed packages. It is essential that all of the curing agent, pack A, is added to all of the resin component, pack B, and mixed thoroughly in a forced action mixing vessel (pennine, daines, mixal or similar) for about 3 minutes. The graded filler component, pack C, is then gradually added whilst mixing continues for an additional three minutes. The fully blended system is applied in one application, at the specified thickness, onto the wet primer using a steel trowel in order to obtain a tight, uniform surface appearance.
