Features

• Good adhesion: Very good adhesion to most surfaces, i.e. weathered galvanised iron, new galvanised iron, rusted steel, non-rusted steel, aluminium, ceramic wall tiles, Formica/melamine, wood, cement plaster, rigged PVC & fibre cement.
• Rust inhibitor: Prevents formation of rust.
• Quick drying.
• Stain hiding: Prevents stains on surfaces from bleeding through.
• Waterbased.
• Easy clean-up: Equipment is cleaned with water.
• Excellent coverage.
• Low VOC: Reduces the odour associated with painting indoors.

Intended Usages

• Primer for most surfaces.

Application Details

• Mixing: Stir well with a flat paddle to an even consistency. Stir occasionally during use.
• Method: Roller (preferably mohair), brush, air assisted or airless spraygun.
• Thinning: Not applicable.
• Cleaning: Tap water. Remove as much of the product as possible from the application equipment before cleaning with water.

Conditions:

• Temperature between 5°C and 40°C. Relative humidity of less than 85%, preferably between 10:00 and 16:00.
• Ideally apply when the temperature of the substrate is at least 2°C above dew point.
• If possible away from direct sunlight.

Drying time:
Touch dry - 1 hour at 23°C. 
Note: Higher temperatures will accelerate the drying times (approximately halved for every 10°C increase), whilst lower temperatures will retard the drying time (approximately doubled for every 10°C decrease).

Recoating time:
8 hours for water based paints and 48 hours for solvent based paints at 23°C.

Requirements:
Two coats.
