Marine ALU Primer

Technical Data

• Description

• : High build modified aluminium primer

• Principal Characteristics

• : Highly impermeable to water

  
  

  : Good wetting properties

  
  

  : Good adhesion to steel, aged conventional point substrates and shopprimed steel

  
  

  : Very tolerant to dry docking conditions

  
  

  : Easy to apply by airless spray

  
  

  : Suitable as sealer coat for a variety of leached out antifouling types

  
  

• Colours and Gloss

• : Aluminium light and dark - flat

• Basic data at 30 ˚C

• Solid content

• : approx. 43% by volume

• Recommended dry film thickness

• : 75µm

• Theoretical spreading rate

• : 5.7 m²/1 for 75µm on smooth and non absorbent surfaces

• Touch dry after

• : 20 minutes

• Overcoating interval

• : minimum 3 hours at 30 ˚C

  
  

  : maximum unlimited provided surface is cleaned

• Shelf life (cool and dry place)

• : atleast 12 months

• Flash point

• : 27 ˚C

• Recommended substrate conditions and temperature

• : Steel blast cleaned to Sa 2 1/2 of Swedish specification

• Conditions and Temperature

• : Steel with approved zinc silicate shop primer; sweep blasted to SPSS-Ss

  
  

  : Aged conventional coat; high pressure water cleaned to remove all contamination

  
  

  : The temperature of the substrate must be atleast 3 ˚C above dew point

  
  

• Instruction for use

• : stir well before use

  
  

  : The temperature of the point should be above 15 ˚C   otherwise extra thinner may be required to obtain application   viscosity

  
  

  : Too much solvent results in lower sag resistance
