PRODUCT INFORMATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be clean, dry, and in sound condition. Surface temperature:
Remove all oil, dust, grease, dirt, loose rust, and other
foreign material to ensure adequate adhesion, with
Thinner # 905 or wash with a SUMACLEAN WB solution. The surface temperature must be at least 3ºC above dew

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing instructions :
Thoroughly agitate Binder, Part A. Using continuous air
driven agitation, slowly mix all of Zinc Dust, Part B, into all
of Binder Part A until mixture is completely uniform. After
mixing pour mixture through 30 mesh screen.
Add pure and a clean water only after both components
have been thoroughly mixed.
Continuous agitation of mixture during application is
required, otherwise zinc dust will quickly settle out.
Application:
Do not apply next coat before minimum drying time
between coats recommended. May occur cohesion
failures in the film.
When using spray application, use a 50% overlap with
each pass of the gun to avoid holidays, bare areas, and
pinholes. If necessary, cross spray at a right angle.
Excessive reduction of material can affect film build,
appearance, and adhesion.
Do not apply the material beyond recommended pot life.
Remove loose zinc after cure by rubbing with a brush. Do
not use sandpaper.
