Surface Preparations All Surfaces: Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants by washing the surface with Krud Kutter® Cleaner Degreaser, commercial detergent or other suitable cleaner. Mold and mildew must be cleaned with a chlorinated cleaner or bleach solution. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to fully dry. All surfaces must be dry at time of application.
Steel: At minimum, Hand Tool (SSPC-SP-2) or Power Tool (SSPC-SP-3) clean to remove all loose rust, mill scale, and deteriorated previous coatings. If abrasive blast cleaning is done, the blast profile should not exceed 1-2 mils (25-50μ). Abrasive blast cleaned steel requires two coats of primer.
Galvanized Steel: New galvanized steel should be solvent cleaned to remove all post galvanizing treatments such as oil, grease or wax. Old or existing galvanized steel should be thoroughly washed to remove all surface contaminants.
Previously Coated: Previously coated surfaces must be sound and in good condition. Smooth, hard, or glossy finishes should be scarified by sanding to create a surface profile. The S37 MetalMax DTM Finish is compatible with most coatings, but a test patch is suggested.
Application: Apply only when air and surface temperatures are between 50-100°F (10-38°C) and surface temperature is at least 5°F above dew point. The relative humidity should not be greater than 85%. Be aware of surface temperature when ambient air temperature is above 90°F (32°C). The coating should not be applied if the surface temperature is 100°F (38°C) or greater. Ensure fresh air entry during application and drying. The MetalMax can be applied direct to metal on clean substrates. The Gray Primer should be used to optimize performance on sound rusted steel. Use the Gray Primer to optimize corrosion protection or to provide a base coat when coating substrates which have varying color. This will help ensure a uniform final appearance.
Tinting: The MetalMax tint bases can be tinted with Rust-Oleum 2030 Water-based Colorants or other high quality water-based or universal colorants, however these colorants will slightly increase VOC, but if used at the recommended levels, the VOC should not exceed 100 g/l. Use Evonik COLORTREND® PLUS 802 colorants to maintain zero VOC. White Pastel Base accepts 2 oz. of tint. Tint Base accepts 4 oz. of tint. Deep Base accepts 8 oz. of tint. Accent Base accepts 12 oz. of tint.
Equipment Recommendations:
Brush: Use a good quality synthetic bristle brush.
Roller: Use a good quality synthetic nap roller cover.Air Atomised Spray:
