    Syntech Primer Metal

    • Excellent anti-corrosion power
    • High adhesion to the support
    • Also applicable to high thicknesses
    • Reduces consumption of the finishing product
    • High chemical and physical resistance

    Fields of application
    • Corrosion protection with barrier effect
    • Protective primer for structures and artefacts subjected to highly aggressive environments such as industrial and marine areas

    Allowed supports
    Metal surfaces
    Steel
    Preparation of supports

    Steel and Cast Iron
    Any welding residues must be removed and the joints sanded. The surfaces to be coated must be free from dirt, oil, grease and impurities; Salts and other contaminants can be effectively removed by high-pressure washing with fresh water before sandblasting.
    Sandblast to cleanliness level Sa 2½ according to ISO 8501-1.
    Average surface roughness degree RZ ≥ 50 μm.
    After sandblasting, carefully clean the surface by removing dust and abrasion residues.
    Pre-existing paints
    Manual or mechanical preparation (St2 or St3 according to ISO 8501-1) or sandblasting until old paint and oxides not perfectly anchored to the support are completely eliminated. Clean the surface carefully, removing dust and abrasion residues.
    Galvanized steel
    Washing with biodegradable detergents in accordance with SSPC-SP1 to remove dirt, oil and grease. Roughening sandblasting with non-ferrous abrasive, average surface roughness RZ ≥ 10 μm.
    Galvanized sheet metal
    Sandblasting with non-metallic abrasives up to grade Sa2 in accordance with ISO 8501-1, commercial sandblasting SSPC-SP6 to remove all encrustations, rust and foreign bodies. The surface does not have uniformity as a fundamental requirement, both in terms of the degree of cleanliness and in terms of appearance. At the end of this process the surface has a predominantly gray color and a roughness suitable for ensuring a firm adhesion of the layers of paint that will be applied.
    Where it is not possible to prepare by sandblasting, roughen the surface of the support mechanically or manually, then clean carefully. In this case the adhesion of the product must be confirmed.
    Aluminum
    Sandblasting with non-metallic abrasives up to grade Sa2 in accordance with ISO 8501-1, commercial sandblasting SSPC-SP6 to remove all encrustations, rust and foreign bodies. The surface does not have uniformity as a fundamental requirement, both in terms of the degree of cleanliness and in terms of appearance.

    Where it is not possible to prepare by sandblasting, roughen the surface of the support mechanically or manually, then clean carefully. In this case the adhesion of the product must be confirmed.


    Mode of use

    The support must have a temperature at least +3°C higher than the dew point to reduce the risk of condensation or bleaching of the finish.
    Combine the two components in the indicated mixing ratio. Add component B (hardener) to component A (base) and mix thoroughly until the product is completely homogenized. It is possible to dilute the Syntech Primer Metal with 5-10% of Syntech Epoxy Thinner for applications with cup, airless and airmix airbrush.

    Warnings

    Do not apply on surfaces that are not adequately prepared

    Product intended only for industrial work by professional applicators

    Respect the mixing ratios, consumption and overapplication times indicated

    The use of unsuitable thinners different from those indicated can create problems for the product both of an aesthetic nature (color change, sedimentation of the product, variation in the degree of brightness, formation of surface hazes, etc.) and in terms of technical performance . The use of the wrong thinners can also create problems during the application phase. Azichem srl therefore does not guarantee any product performance if its dilution is carried out with unsuitable products or products other than those indicated.
