| APPLICATION DETAILS | ||
| Application conditions | The surface to be painted must be dry, the temperature of the air at least 5 °C, and the relative humidity of the air below 80 %.The temperature of the painted surface may not exceed +35 °C, because otherwise the solvent evaporates too quickly and porosity, weakening of adhesion, blistering etc. will occur. | |
| Preparation | Unpainted surfaces:
Clean dirt, grease and oil from unpainted surfaces with Panssaripesu Roof Cleaning Agent, rinse thoroughly with water and allow to dry. Remove possible white rust or rust by brushing or by sanding. Previously painted surfaces: Remove loose paint and rust with a scraper and a steel brush. Wash the surfaces with Panssaripesu Roof Cleaning Agent, rinse well with water and allow to dry. |
|
| Painting | Stir Rostex Metal Primer carefully before use. Rostex Metal Primer does not normally need to be thinned for brush application. For airless spray application, thin Rostex Metal Primer with 0-5 vol.-% White Spirit 1050.
As a finishing paint for exterior surfaces, use e.g. Panssarimaali, Miranol or Unica Special Alkyd Paint, For interior surfaces, use e.g. Empire, Miranol or emulsion paints. |
|
| Cleaning of tools | Clean tools with White Spirit 1050 or Tikkurila Pensselipesu (Tool cleaner). | |
| Maintenance instructions | After painting the surfaces must be handled with care, because the paint will achieve its final hardness and durability after 4 weeks under normal conditions.
1 month after painting dirty surfaces can be cleaned with Tikkurila Huoltopesu (1part Huoltopesu, 10 parts water). Clean stains and very dirty surfaces with a stronger solution of Huoltopesu (1:1). After washing rinse surfaces and allow to dry. If the surfaces must be cleaned soon after painting, clean the surface lightly with soft brush, damp cloth or mop. |
