Zinc Phosphate Primer Dark Grey 20L Omega O-ZPPDG20L

DESCRIPTION:

A single pack quick-drying primer based on modified alkyd with anticorrosive pigments. An ideal primer for steel where blast cleaning is not feasible. This performance-based primer offers excellent adhesion and compatibility with QD industrial enamels. However, it can also be top coated with any of solvent based undercoats and enamels.

AREAS OF APPLICATION:

Recommended as a primer for the protection of structural steel and equipment in industrial and marine environments. Suitable for interior and exterior use.

TECHNICAL DATA:

METHOD OF APPLICATION:

Can be applied by brush, roller, or spray. Please use the method best suited to your requirement and skill.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

Remove all surface rust, loose and flaking/peeling paint, and sand back coating edges. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, and all other surface contamination. Apply Omega RustBlock rust converter to rusted surfaces. Prepare and coat section by section to achieve the best results surface is to be coated immediately after preparation.
Note: Cooler temperature, higher film thickness, or higher humidity conditions will lead to longer drying times. Do not apply when the surface temperature is below 10 ^oC or above 35 ^oC.

APPLICATION:

Stir contents thoroughly using a flat stirrer before and during use. Apply one coat evenly by brush, roller, or spray, after proper surface preparation. Avoid over-brushing and rolling. Do not thin for application by brush or roller. If spraying, thin up to 10% with Omega Enamel Thinner 600. Allow QD zinc phosphate metal primer to dry for at least 8 hours before application of undercoat and finishing product.
Note: For best results, prepare, prime, and finish section by section to avoid prolonged exposure to the elements.

NOTE:
QD zinc phosphate metal primer, as with all metal primers and undercoats are designed to be used as part of a coating system. Metal primers provide an anti-corrosive base coat and add adhesion to the substrate. Metal primers and undercoats are not designed to withstand extended periods of exposure to sunlight and external weather elements. It is recommended to apply the primer, undercoat, and finish coat within a short period to achieve the best long-term protection of the metal substrate.

MIX AND COLOUR CHECK:

Mix the paint before application with a wide flat (25mm) paddle or a hand paint mixer with a perforated base, in a circular lifting motion from the bottom of the container for 5 minutes or until the paint and colour are thoroughly mixed. Remix the paint every 2 hours to ensure product consistency. Check the colour to the colour chart/standard before application. Inner mix multiple containers together to ensure colour consistency. Replace and secure the container lid during painting to prevent the paint from drying within the container.

COATING AND MAINTENANCE:

Washing the painted surface periodically will maintain the look of a newly painted surface longer. Clean the surface with a diluted sugar soap or a mild detergent and rinse well with clean water. Do not use scouring pads, abrasive brushes, high-pressure washing or solvent to clean the painted surface. These will damage the paint film and cause premature failure of the coating.

FLAMMABILITY AND TRANSPORT:

• Highly flammable, dangerous goods class 3.2, flash point 20 °C, UN 1263, PG III.
• Keep away from heat and flame, eliminate any source of ignition.
• Soak all used cloths and rags immediately in water to prevent self-ignition.
• Ensure the container is upright with the lid secure.
• Ensure the container is secured in the vehicle for transport.

SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS:

• Do not apply when the surface temperature is below 10 ^oC or over 35 ^oC.
• Do not apply in environments of high humidity/moisture or if pending rain is a possibility.
• Apply in calm, fine weather conditions and only during daylight hours.
• Cease painting 2 hours before sunset or if weather changes are forecast. 
• Use only the recommended thinner for dilution and cleaning.
• Check the paint colour to the colour chart/standard before application.
• Provide adequate ventilation during use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Avoid exposure of the new paint film to steam for 45 hours and to washing or scrubbing for 7 days.
• Check crosscut adhesion test of the old coating before repainting.
• Apply a test sample for compatibility of this product over a small test area.
