Performance

This product’s distinguishing features are:

• superior adhesion to metals
• excellent chemical and mechanical performance
• wear and abrasion resistance

Treatment of surfaces to be coated

The metal to be coated must be thoroughly clean, free from dirt, grease, dust and residual machining swarf.

Thorough cleaning is usually enough to ensure good adhesion to steel and aluminium.

When dealing with more difficult metals, such as stainless steel, brass, copper and other substrates with a smooth, shiny finish, pretreatment may instead be required, abrasive blasting or sanding to scuff the surface.

Application

The system comprises two products, to be applied by spraying with normal airmix or airless equipment, with air pressure set to 3-4 bar and using spray nozzles measuring between 1.2 and 1.5 mm.

One product serves as a coloured primer and air-dries in 30-40 minutes; to be coated over with the topcoat, which is then oven baked at 80°C.
