APPLICATION DETAILS
Application conditions All surfaces must be dry. The temperature of the ambient air, surface or paint should not fall below + 5 ºC during application or drying. Relative humidity should not exceed 80 %. The surface temperature of the steel should remain at least 3 ºC above the dew point.
Preparation Oil, grease, salts and dirt are removed by appropriate means. (ISO 12944-4)

Steel surfaces: Blast clean to grade Sa2½. (ISO 8501-1) If blast cleaning is not possible, phosphating is recommended for cold rolled steel to improve adhesion.

Zinc surfaces: Sweep blast clean with mineral abrasives, e.g. quartz sand, to an even roughness. (SaS, SFS 5873) If sweep blasting is not possible, the surface should be roughened by hand abrading or washed with PANSSARIPESU detergent.

Hot dip galvanized surfaces are recommended to be painted with a misty coat (paint thinned 25 - 30 %) before the actual priming.

Aluminium surfaces: Sweep blast clean with non-metallic abrasives to an even roughness. (SaS, SFS 5873) If sweep blasting is not possible, the surface should be roughened by hand abrading or washed with FONTECLEAN AL detergent.

Primed surfaces: Oil, grease, salt and dirt are removed from the surface by appropriate means. Repair any damage to the primer coat. Note the overcoating time of primer. (ISO 12944-4)
Priming TEMACOAT GF PRIMER, TEMAZINC 77, TEMAZINC 88 and TEMAZINC 99.
Finishing TEMACOAT GPL, TEMACOAT GS 50, TEMACOAT RM 40, TEMACOAT GPL-S MIO, TEMADUR, TEMATHANE and TEMACRYL EA.
Painting By airless or conventional spray or by brush. At airless spray application the paint should be thinned 5 - 25 %. Airless spray nozzle tip 0.011" - 0.017" and nozzle pressure 120 - 180 bar. Spray angle shall be chosen according to the shape of the object. At conventional spray the paint should be thinned 20 - 30 % to a viscosity of 20 - 30 s DIN4. At brush application the paint should be thinned according to the circumstancies.
Mixing of components First stir base and hardener separately. The correct proportions of base and hardener must be mixed thoroughly before use. Use Temaspeed Squirrel Mixer for mixing.
Cleaning of tools Thinner 1031.
EU VOC 2004/42/EC-limit value The Volatile Organic Compounds amount is 420 g/litre of paint mixture.
VOC content of paint mixture (thinned 30 % by) volume is 524 g/l.
