Alkyton gloss is a high-quality alkyd paint with excellent resistance, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and quick drying (even at temperatures down to +5 °C). However, its main advantage is its high anti-corrosive capability and the possibility to paint over already rusted and heavily rusted metal. ALKYTON gloss covers in one coat 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 provide the product with excellent flowability – when applied with a brush, it can achieve an appearance of similar quality to that of spraying. The modification of alkyd resins with urethanes gives the product long-lasting color stability and significantly prolongs gloss.
Recommended use:
ALKYTON is primarily intended for painting new and corroded iron metals in outdoor conditions. ALKYTON can be applied directly onto metal in environments with moderate industrial pollution or using it in a system with RUST-OLEUM primers for metal structures exposed to more aggressive industrial environments. Increased anti-corrosive protection can be achieved in conjunction with a fast-drying anti-corrosive primer PRIMER +. Where the surface cannot be well cleaned, use the anti-corrosive 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 cured wood treated with a primer in outdoor conditions. 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 by 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 an alkaline cleaner RO ND 14 or by pressure (steam) cleaning combined 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 verify 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 solid content and thus the thickness of the paint film. Dilution may affect drying times. In environments C1 – C2, it is usually applied on 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.
