While it provides protection, it is designed primarily as an anti-corrosion primer. It is recommended to cover it with an acrylic, polyvinyl, or alkyd topcoat for the best aesthetic and weather protection.
This product is specifically formulated for steel and cast iron. It may not provide the same adhesion or protective benefits on non-ferrous substrates.
Refer to the label instructions for specific drying times, as this can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity.
No, this product is limited to temperatures up to +60°C and is not suitable for surfaces subjected to high heat.
Yes, thorough surface preparation, including removing loose rust and degreasing, is essential for the primer to bond correctly.
Clear the nozzle by removing it and soaking in a suitable solvent or replace it if the clog persists.
This usually indicates surface contamination; sand the area down, clean with a degreaser, and reapply.
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly and held at a consistent distance of 20-30 cm from the surface.
To achieve professional results, begin by cleaning the surface thoroughly to remove oil, grease, and loose corrosion using a wire brush or abrasive pad. The substrate must be dry and free of debris before spraying. Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball rattles to ensure the heavy zinc particles are evenly distributed. Apply in light, even passes rather than one heavy coat to prevent runs. For cleaning the nozzle after use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds until only clear gas comes out. Store the container in a cool, dry place and keep it away from extreme heat sources that might exceed the product's thermal threshold.
