Preparation:
If necessary clean surface by alkaline or high pressure/steam cleaning using detergent as appropriate to ensure complete removal of all grease, oil or other surface contamination.
Loose coatings, mill scale and loose rust should be removed by scraping and wire brushing to St2/3 (ISO8501-1:1988). Intact and firmly bonded existing coatings should be lightly abraded to provide a surface key.
The surface must be clean and dry during application.
When using Colormet primers first, please refer to relevant primer Data Sheets.
Application:
Mechanical stirring with a mixing paddle for a few minutes is recommended.
Apply using a brush with long natural bristles, taking care to ensure the surface is completely covered.
The primer may be applied by roller or conventional spray gun if appropriate.
Roller application may require 2 coats to achieve the recommended coverage.
Ensure adequate ventilation during application.
