Alkyton gloss is a high-quality alkyd paint with excellent resistance, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and fast drying (even at temperatures up to +5 °C). Its main advantage, however, is its high anticorrosive ability and the possibility to paint even on already rusted and heavily rusted metal. ALKYTON gloss covers in one layer in all shades. Effective anticorrosive pigments provide long-lasting anticorrosive protection. The product has very good adhesion even on corroded surfaces after manual cleaning. The solvents used provide the product with excellent paintability - when applied with a brush, it can achieve a finish of similar quality to spraying. The modification of alkyd resins with urethanes gives the product long-term color stability and significantly prolongs gloss.
Recommended use:
ALKYTON is primarily intended for painting new and corroded ferrous metals in outdoor environments. ALKYTON can be applied directly to metal in environments with mild industrial pollution, or using a system with RUST-OLEUM primer for metal structures exposed to more aggressive industrial environments. Increased anticorrosive protection can be achieved in a system with fast-drying anticorrosive base PRIMER +. Where the surface cannot be well cleaned, use the anticorrosive primer PENETRATOR. New and oxidized galvanized sheet metal, stainless steel, 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 seasoned wood treated with a primer in outdoor environments. ALKYTON can also be used for painting concrete. However, it is not intended for painting concrete floors. ALKYTON is not certified for painting children's toys and for contact with food. ALKYTON is not intended for permanent immersion.
Application:
ALKYTON can be applied with a brush, roller, or spraying.
Drying:
Thinner:
max 10% Synthetic thinner S6005
Theoretical yield:
10.5 m² /l at 50µm dry film, depending on the shade.
Surface preparation:
Remove oil, grease, and any other surface contaminants using an alkaline cleaner RO ND 14 or pressure (steam) cleaning in combination with suitable detergents. Remove scale, loose rust, and poorly adhering residues of old paints with a scraper and steel brush to grade St 2/3 (ISO 8501-1: 1988) or blast to grade Sa 2 1/2. Old, well-adhered coatings should be roughened 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:
Thoroughly mix the paint before use. If possible, do not dilute / dilution may be necessary if applying at low temperatures/. High dilution reduces the solids content and thus the thickness of the film. Dilution may affect drying times. In environments C1 –C2, it is usually applied to a suitable base in one layer. In environments C3-C4, it is usually necessary to apply 2 layers of primer and one layer of Alkyton in the case of steel and 2 layers of Alkyton in the case of galvanized surfaces.
