SURFACE PREPARATION:
The choice of surface preparation and cleaning before application is as important, if not more important, than the coating itself.
Mix well: ideally with a mixer free of any greasy substances or other contaminants for 5 minutes * do not shake the product *
It’s essential that the surface is free of oil, dust, grease, or other contaminants.
Recommendations: Metaflux’s Zinc Paste can be painted; however, an adhesion test on a small part of the piece is recommended due to the multitude of paint brands available.
Can be applied on the previously cleaned old galvanization layer.
Sandblasting, if necessary, for structural components to remove rust and/or scale.
- Recommendation: If needed, apply a thin layer with a brush to fill cavities, bolts, plates, and edges.
- Acts as a protective barrier and repair on the used surface.
- In case of applying two coats (depending on thickness and humidity), we recommend an interval of 2 – 4 hours.
- Can also be applied in a thick layer up to 150μm.
- Surface humidity should not exceed 90%.
Attention: For informational purposes, atmospheric conditions can affect drying time.
For touch-ups and repairs, application is usually done with a brush and roller.
