Formex S2003 primer for galvanized base metal paint, 0840 red-brown, 4 l

Basic synthetic anti-corrosive paint designed for coatings on light colored metals and iron.

CHARACTERISTICS AND USE:

The paint is intended for priming light colored metals and iron, e.g. metal structures, frames, fittings, ledges, gutters, car bodies, sheet metal roofs, steel castings, cast iron and sheet metal radiators for hot water heating. It is also suitable for coating steel under nitrocellulose and synthetic varnishes drying in the air. It is characterized by quick drying and excellent adhesion to various substrates.

Key properties:

• anti-corrosive coating
• excellent adhesion to steel and light metals
• also suitable under nitro-combination and polyurethane coatings

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION:

The substrate for application must be clean, dry, free of grease, rust, and dust, mechanically cleaned. Coating on galvanized steel is possible at the earliest after 12 months of exposure to weather conditions. First and foremost, the surface must be degreased using an appropriate cleaning agent (e.g. BALTECH P6402 technical benzene, BALTECH P6401 acetone, or where possible, warm high-pressure water with soap content). To remove any residues of various salts, the surface must subsequently be rinsed with clean water. Coarse and well-adhered impurities must be removed manually or mechanically (sanding, scraping). Any rust can also be removed manually or mechanically (metal brushes, grinding wheels) or using rust removers. When using chemical rust removers, a subsequent rinse with clean water is necessary.
Previously painted surfaces must be cleaned, degreased, and stripped of old non-adhering coatings.

DILUTION: thinner BALTECH S6005 (brush, roller), thinner BALTECH C6000 (spraying)

Theoretical yield: 10 - 12 m²/l.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

Before use, thoroughly mix the contents and dilute as needed. The paint is applied with a brush, roller, or spraying on a pre-prepared surface. 
1. 1 coat of FORMEX GALVANIZED S2003 paint. It dries at a temperature of around 20 °C. Drying can be accelerated by forced drying at 80 °C. Coating dried in the air can be overcoated with synthetic or nitrocellulose enamel after 1 hour; the optimal thickness of a single layer is 35-40 µm.
2. 2 to 3 coats with enamel INDUSTROL UNIVERSAL S2013, INDUSTROL PLUS S2071 or INDUSTROL PROFI U2129.
