Alkyton gloss is a high-quality alkyd paint with excellent durability, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and quick drying (even at temperatures down to +5 °C). However, the main advantage is its high anti-corrosive capability and the possibility of painting even on already rusty and heavily rusted metal. ALKYTON gloss covers in 1 layer in all shades. Effective anti-corrosive pigments create long-lasting anti-corrosive protection. The product has very good adhesion even on corroded surfaces after manual cleaning. The solvents used give the product excellent flowability - when applied with a brush, a finish of similar quality to spraying can be achieved. The modification of alkyd resins with urethanes provides the product with long-lasting color stability and significantly extends gloss.
Recommended use:
ALKYTON is primarily intended for painting new and corroded iron metals in outdoor environments. ALKYTON can be applied directly to metal in an environment with mild industrial pollution, or using a system with RUST-OLEUM primer paints for metal structures exposed to a more aggressive industrial environment. Increased anti-corrosive protection can be achieved in a system with a fast-drying anti-corrosive primer PRIMER +. Where the surface cannot be cleaned well, use the anti-corrosive primer PENETRATOR. New and oxidized galvanized sheet metal, inox, light metals, and titanium zinc require pre-treatment with the primer GALVINOL. Due to its extreme flexibility and resistance to external influences, ALKYTON can also be applied to matured, primer-coated wood in outdoor conditions. ALKYTON can also be used for painting concrete. However, it is not intended for use on concrete floors. ALKYTON is not certified for painting children's toys or food contact. ALKYTON is not suitable for permanent immersion.
Application:
ALKYTON can be applied with a brush, roller, or spraying.
Drying:
Thinner:
max 10% Synthetic thinner S6005
Theoretical coverage:
10.5 m² /l at 50µm dry film, depending on the shade.
Surface preparation:
Remove oil, grease, and any other surface contamination with alkaline cleaner RO ND 14 or pressure (steam) cleaning combined with suitable detergents. Remove scale, loose rust, and poorly adhering residues of old paint with a scraper and steel brush to grade St 2/3 (ISO 8501-1: 1988) or blast to grade Sa 2 1/2. Roughen old, well-adhered coatings to ensure good adhesion and check compatibility with RUST-OLEUM coatings. The surface must be dry and clean before and during application.
Instructions for use:
Mix the paint thoroughly before use. If possible, do not dilute / dilution may be necessary if applying at low temperatures/. High dilution reduces the solid content and thus the film thickness. Dilution can affect drying times. In environments C1 –C2, it is usually applied to a suitable primer in one layer. In environments C3-C4, it is usually necessary to apply 2 layers of primer and one layer of Alkyton for steel and 2 layers of Alkyton for galvanized surfaces.
