SURFACE PREPARATION
All surfaces to be coated shall be dry and free from oil, grease, dust,
dirt and any foreign matter that can adversely af fect adhesion of
coating. Solvent cleaning as per SSPC SP1 shall be
conducted wherever necessary.
RECOMMENDED SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface shall be prepared by hand/power tool to achieve ST2 /
ST3 standard of surface preparation as per ISO 8501-1. Any tightly
adhering Old coating may remain on surface. For larger surface areas, abrasive
blasting may be carried out to achieve Sa 2 as per ISO 8501-1.
Mixing a Liquid binder
Aqua XT is supplied in 2 parts, a liquid binder (Part A) and a liquid binder (Part B). Always
mix liquid (Part B) into the liquid
(Part A) while stirring. 75-100 RPM mixer is recommended.
Material should be screened prior to application.
