Systems Specifications Exterior Mild Steel

 

Surface Preparation:   Ensure surfaces are degreased and free of contamination using Protective Paints A925 - Metal degreaser

(follow instructions as per data sheet).Ensure surfaces are free from preparation debris and are clean and dry.

Apply 1st coat within 4 hours of abrasive blasting. Practical coverage is project dependent.
