SURFACE PREPARTATION
Steel: Round off all rough welds, sharp edges and remove weld spatter. Remove grease, oil and other contaminants in
accordance with SSPC SP1. Rinse surface thoroughly with clean water to remove acids or alkali contaminants. Abrasive blast
to a minimum of SSPC SP10 to a surface profile of 50-75 microns. Remove all dust by brushing or vacuum cleaning.
Concrete: Remove all laitance, form release, grease and mould. Brush off blast with liminite or garnet. Remove all dust by
vaccum cleaning. Fill any large exposed voids.

APPLICATION
Stir the contents of each can thoroughly with a broad flat stirrer using a stirring, lifting action or use a power mixer. Mix the
contents of both packs together thoroughly using a power mixer for at least three minutes. Ensure the clean-up solvent is
available before commencing application. Use mixed material immediately after mixing.
Brush/ Roller: Suitable for small areas only. When brushing and rollering, additional costs may be required to attain the
specified thickness.
Airless Spray: Plural component Airless Units: Units capable of 2:1 volume metering and heating such as Binks, Graco and
other using 58:1 pump ratio with a fluid tip of 21-26 thou (0.53-0.66 mm). 31/4 Twist tip or adjustable tip (Titan) with an air
supply of 690-830 kPa (100-120 p.s.i); line size of 12 mm ID.
