Direction to use
- Surface preparation and substrate condition should be dry and free from all contaminations, surface to be sufficiently roughened prior to priming.
- Surface temperature must be atleast 10 0C and not more than 45⁰C
- Steel, abrasive blast clean to min Sa 21/2Swedish method.
- Relative humidity should be below 80%
- Good ventilation is required to ensure proper curing
Mixing
- Stir the Eekay Red Oxide Zinc Chrome Primer to loosen the settled material with hand stirrer followed by power stirrer for quick homogenous mixing.
- Addition of too much thinner will lead to reduced sag resistance.
