Surface preparation
1. Degrease the metal surface in accordance with SSPC-SP1 Solvent Cleaning to remove grease, oil, soil and other surface contamination. (Use GTC002 Thinner). 2. Wire Brush/Mechanical Power Tool Clean areas where superficial and/or firmly adhering rust exist in accordance with SSPC-SP2 and/or SSPC-SP3 Standards. 3. Surfaces to be coated must be dry, clean and contamination free prior to paint application process.
Where to use
- Intended for a single or two coat applications over well prepared steel surfaces, and to be overcoated with conventional paints. - Can also be used as a touch up coat over well prepared previously coated steel surfaces; yet exposed to partial/scattered rust and resulted in peeling/flaking off to existing paint coatings.
Mixing and thinning
Material must be properly mixed and is recommended for thinning with GTC002 Thinner as per below table: APPLICATION METHOD | BRUSH/ROLLER | CONV. SPRAY | AIRLESS SPRAY Thinning by volume (% Max.)| 10% | 20% | 5%
