Technical Specifications

Surface Preparation - Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free of dust, dirt, excessive chalky material, grime,
grease, oil, wax, mildew, wallpaper adhesive or any contamination that may interfere with adhesion. If unsure, always
wash surface with a household ammonia and water solution, appropriate cleaning solution, or solvent (Do not use TSP as
a cleaner). Remove any unsoundly adhered coatings. Sand any remaining paint film edges smooth with the surface.
Lightly sand exposed exterior wood with 80 to 100 grit sandpaper to remove loose or weathered wood fibers. Attempt to
remove existing stains by washing, sanding, scraping, etc. Kill exterior mildew with Zinsser JOMAX
®
House Cleaner and
Mildew Killer. Bare wood that has been exposed for more than 4 weeks should be lightly sanded or abraded to remove
weathered wood fibers. Countersink exposed nailheads and fill all nailholes and gouges with Ready Patch
®
. Remove
interior mold and mildew before painting with a solution of one cup household bleach per gallon of water or a quality
biocidal wash. Rinse well. Always wear protective clothing and goggles to prevent eye and skin contact with bleach. Do
not mix ammonia or any other chemical with bleach solution. If you are concerned about mold and mildew behind walls,
underneath flooring, in ventilation systems or other unseen areas, contact a professional who specializes in mold and
mildew remediation. For commercial buildings and schools follow appropriate guidelines for mold removal. Remove rust
and wipe metal with a cloth dampened in alcohol then apply a rust-inhibitive primer. WARNING! If you scrape, sand or
remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS,
SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a
NIOSH-Approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you
start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline

Application Conditions – Apply when air and surface temperature is between 35° and 90°F (2° and 32° C) and relative
humidity is less than 85%. Do not apply B-I-N2 if surface temperature is within 15% of the dew point. Substrate moisture
content should not exceed 12%.
Application Methods – Shake or stir before using. Eliminate all sources of ignition. In most cases only one coat is
necessary to prime most surfaces. If excessive absorption occurs over very porous substrates a second coat may be
necessary. Spot priming is recommended only under high-hiding topcoat paints. For best results prime entire surface
before painting. Keep container closed when not in use. Do not thin this product.
• Brush, Roller or Pad – Use natural or synthetic (nylon, polyester or blend)
• Airless Sprayer – Use .015” – .017” tip @ 1,500–2,000 PSI
• Conventional Sprayer – Spray at 50 – 60 PSI
Tinting – Add up to 2 oz. (59 ml) universal colorant per gallon. Tinting the primer toward the color of the topcoat helps
the paint hide in one coat. (Note that the addition of universal colorant may prolong the dry time of this product)
Dry Time – In most cases B-I-N2 will dry to the touch in 35 minutes and can be sanded or recoated in 2 hours. The dry
primer film develops full adhesion after it cures in 7 to 10 days. Lower temperatures, higher humidity and the addition of
tint will prolong dry and cure time.
Coverage – Approx. 400 - 450 sq. ft. (37 - 41 m
2
) per gallon on smooth, painted, non-porous surfaces; 400 sq. ft. (37
m
2
) per gallon on rough, unpainted, porous surfaces. Application losses may vary according to the porosity and texture of
the substrate and the method of application and should be taken into account when estimating the quantity of product
needed.
Cleanup – Clean up spills and drips and application tools immediately after use with paint thinner (mineral spirits).
Follow equipment manufacturer’s directions to clean spray equipment. Wipe up splatters before they dry.
WARNING! Combustible liquid and vapor. Contains petroleum distillates. Keep away from heat, sparks, and
flame. Do not smoke while using. Use with adequate ventilation. Causes Eye Irritation. Do not get in eyes. In case of
eye contact flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention. Causes skin irritation. Avoid contact
with skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. May cause respiratory irritation. Do not breathe vapors or spray
mist. Ensure good cross ventilation during application and drying. If you experience difficulty in breathing, eye watering,
headache, or dizziness, increase fresh air; wear an appropriate, properly fitted (NIOSH approved) respirator; or leave the
area to obtain fresh air. Do not take internally. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Contact a physician or poison
