DIRECTIONS FOR USE

SURFACE PREPARATION & SUBSTRATE CONDITION:
— Zinc silicate primer coated steel; clean dry and free from any contamination and film fully cured
o o
— Substrate temperature should be at least 3 C above the dew point but not above 50 C
— Relative humidity should be above 50%
MIXING
— Stir the material. If settling is observed, loosen the settled material with the help of hand stirrer followed by power driven stirrer for quick homogenous mixing
— Strain the paint through 40 - 60 mesh screen & agitate continuously during application
