SURFACE PREPARATION
WARNING! Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other
means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to
lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse
health effects, especially in children or pregnant women.
Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances
requires the use of proper protective equipment, such as a
properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper
containment and cleanup. For more information, call the National
Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or contact
your local health authority.
Previously Painted Surfaces
To ensure proper adhesion, all surfaces must be clean, dry and
free from wax, grease, oil, loose rust, peeling paint and other
contaminants. Remove all contaminants from surface. Dull glossy,
hard, smooth coatings by abrading the surface. Always wear a
properly selected and fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved mask or
respirator when sanding. Apply a test area of this product and
test adhesion after allowing to dry for one week. If adhesion is
poor, or if the previous coating is attacked by this product,
removal of the previous coating may be necessary. If previous
coating is peeling or in poor condition, clean surface to a sound
substrate and treat as a bare steel surface. Rust inhibition requires
contact of this product to the bare steel surface.
Iron and Steel
Remove all rust by hand tool cleaning per SSPC-SP2 and remove
oil and grease by solvent cleaning per SSPC-SP1. For best
performance use commercial blast cleaning per SSPC-SP6 with a
sharp, angular abrasive. Prime bare steel within 8 hours or before
flash rusting occurs.
As a Barrier Coat
Conco P851 DTM Alkyd Rust Control Metal Primer may be used
as a barrier coat for previously painted surfaces that will be
topcoated with chemically resistant or strong solvent topcoats to
prevent lifting. If there is evidence of poor adhesion, clean surface
to bare substrate and apply appropriate system.
Mildew
Remove before painting by washing with a solution of 1 part
liquid bleach and 3 parts water. Apply the solution and scrub the
mildewed area. Allow the solution to remain on the surface for 10
minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow the surface to dry
before painting. Wear protective eyewear, waterproof gloves and
protective clothing. Quickly wash off any of the mixture that
comes in contact with your skin.
DO NOT ADD DETERGENTS OR
AMMONIA TO THE BLEACH/WATER SOLUTION.
