Surface Preparation :
Steel : remove grease, oil & other contaminants preferably by using degreasing solvent. Blast clean to a minimum of Sa2 ½ Swedish std. SIS 05 5900. For severe corrosion, blast to Sa 3 with a surface profile not exceeding 65 microns.
If blasting is not practical, make full use of mechanical tools along with manual chipping & wire brushing to remove loose rust & scale to st. 2 Swedish std. SIS 05 5900. Excessive burning of steel is to be avoided. Thoroughly dust down all surfaces. Best results can be achieved if the manually cleaned surface is primed with protectomastic- self-priming surface tolerant coating; otherwise, treatment with metal conditioning solution will also produce satisfactory results.
The surface should be clean & dry before application of primer coat.

Application :

• Mix the contents thoroughly before & during use.
• Apply with suitable thinner for the recommended dry film thickness.
• Brush / Roller: add up to 5% thinner if required during application.
