Galvanised Steel and other non ferrous metals:
Remove any contamination. Surfaces should be dry and free from dirt, oil and grease. In situations of frequent condensation or where salt formation is likely the surface should be prepared by sweep blasting. Prolonged contact with water is to be avoided.
Stainless Steel / Aluminium:
Sweep blast to give an average profile of 50 microns

Preparation of coating material
According to the specific requirements, thinner should be added as follows:
-
Brushing / Rolling: 0-2% Thinner R400
-
Air assisted spraying: 5-10% Thinner R400
-
Airless spraying: 0-2% Thinner R400 (Nozzle >0.38mm)
