Paint Calculator

MCI BENZITHANE 300 is a two pack polyurethane recoatable gloss finish for exterior and interior surfaces where exceptional gloss and color retention are required. This high performance finish has excellent resistance to abrasion, scratches, impact, condensing humidity, staining and splashes of chemicals. It is used as a topcoat on properly primed steel, galvanized iron, masonry, glazed tile and etc. Due to its toughness and excellent weathering resistance, it is highly recommended for bridges, transmission towers, heavy structural steelworks in industrial and marine environment.

General Properties: Does not chalk easily despite exposure to UV light; Resistant to splash and spillage of large variety of dilute acids, alkalis, detergents, hydrocarbon, solvents, petroleum products, mineral and vegetable oils; Superlative gloss and colour retention on outdoor exposure; High stain resistance and impact resistance.

Painting System:
Substrate	Primer ( 1 coat )	Intermediate ( 1 coat )	Topcoat ( 1 - 2 coats )
Ferrous Metal (For optimum performance)	BENZIPOX Inorganic Zinc Rich Primer or Organic Zinc Rich Primer	BENZIPOX Mastic 88	BENZITHANE 300
Ferrous Metal	BENZIPOX EA9 Red Oxide Primer	BENZIPOX Mastic 88	BENZITHANE 300

Surface Preparation:

Ferrous Metal Surface
For optimum performance, 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.

Concrete Floor Surface
Newly laid concrete surface must be allowed to cure for at least 28 days, ensure the surface is below 16% moisture content as measured by protimeter and alkalinity below PH9 (It is highly recommended to have a layer of water-proof membrane underneath the concrete). If alkalinity is high, neutralize the surface by etching with 5% Sulphuric Acid solution and rinsed thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry completely 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.
