Surface Preparation:

Ferrous Metal Surface
For optimum performance, mild steel surface shall be abrasively blasted in accordance to Swedish Standard Sa 2.5. If abrasive blasting is impossible, mechanical cleaning to St 3 is essential. If oxidation occurred on the blasted steel before application of paint, it is necessary to reblast the steel. The surface must be dry and free from any abrasive residues, dirt, grease and other contaminants prior to painting.

Non-Ferrous Metal Surface
For new surface, thorough solvent degreasing to SSPC-SP1 is necessary. For old surface, it must be abraded to remove corrosion deposits. All surfaces must be dry and clean prior to painting.

Safety, Health & Environment

FLAMMABLE. During painting, make sure no source of ignition at surrounding and no smoking. When not in use, store paint in cool and shaded place and do not directly expose to sunlight. Allow proper ventilation and wear mask during painting. Do not breathe vapour or spray. Keep doors and windows open during application and drying. It is advisable to wear eye protector while applying. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical treatment. To remove splashes of paint from skin, use suitable cleanser or soap and water. Do not dispose paint into drains or watercourses. Refer to MCI Paint Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for further details.
