TIPS FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE
• To ensure maximum protection, stripe coat all crevices, welds
and sharp angles
• During spray application, overlap 50% with each pass of the
s
pray gun to avoid bare areas, pinholes and holidays
• The spread rates are calculated by the volume solids and do not
t
ake into consideration product loss caused by applicator
technique, method of application, surface irregularities, over
thinning and climatic conditions
• Excessive reduction of this product will affect film build,
ap
pearance and adhesion
• Intimate contact with the steel surface and primer is necessary
f
or adequate rust inhibition and adhesion
• Spray equipment should be cleaned and flushed with xylene
be
fore use and periods of extended downtime to avoid
blockages
