.PRODUCT APPLICATION .
SURFACE PREPARATION
ALL SURFACES: Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and
chemical contaminants by washing the surface with Krud
Kutter
®
Original Cleaner Degreaser, commercial detergent
or other suitable cleaner. Mold and mildew must be
cleaned with a chlorinated cleaner or bleach solution.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to fully dry. All
surfaces must be dry at time of application.
STEEL: Hand tool (SSPC-SP-2) or power tool (SSPC-SP-
3) clean to remove loose rust, mill scale, and deteriorated
previous coatings. Abrasive blasting to a minimum
Commercial Grade (SSPC-SP-6, NACE 3) with a 1-2 mil
(25-50 μ) surface profile is recommended for optimal
performance. Abrasive blast cleaned steel requires two
coats.
CONCRETE AND MASONRY: Hand or power tool clean
to remove all loose or unsound concrete, masonry, or
previous coating. Very dense, non-porous concrete should
be acid etched or abrasive blasted to remove the laitance
layer and create a surface profile. Allow new concrete to
cure for 30 days before coating.
PREVIOUSLY COATED: Previously coated surfaces must
be sound and in good condition. Smooth, hard, or glossy
finishes should be scarified by sanding to create a surface
profile. The 5200 System DTM Acrylic Finish is compatible
with most coatings, but a test patch is suggested.
APPLICATION
Apply only when the air and surface temperatures are
between 50-100°F (10-38°C) and the surface temperature
is at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point. The relative
humidity should not be greater than 85%. Extremely high
or low relative humidity can effect dry times and the final
gloss of the coating. Iron oxide staining may occur with
some colors if surface and air temperature are below 60°F
(16°C) or the relative humidity is above 70% during the
time of application. For optimum performance use a primer.
For optimum hiding, additional coats of 5215 Alumni-Non
may be required over dark colors.
