DEFENS AL.FAST (1K) Alkyd primer enamel

Designed for painting metal and concrete with a long service life of up to 7 years. It has increased adhesion to metal, concrete, and wooden surfaces, which eliminates the need for prior priming of the treated surface.

It can be applied using air and airless spraying methods, as well as with a roller and brush. Due to the low toxicity of the solvents contained in it, the primer-enamel is convenient to apply. It can be used as a primer and as a standalone coating.

The color of the primer-enamel is according to the RAL scale.

Requirements for the substrate

The metal surface must be dry, cleaned of rust, debris, dust, oils, fats, and other contaminants that may act as separators. If necessary, treat the substrate using sandblasting or shot blasting to a degree of Sa 2-2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007). After cleaning, the surface must be dusted and degreased.

Stone surfaces and those containing cement must be clean, dry (moisture – no more than 5%), free of traces of cement milk, dirt, oil, withstand design loads (compressive strength of at least 200 kgf/cm2), and not contain weak and adhered particles. If necessary, treat the substrate using sandblasting or shot blasting, milling, or grinding. After treatment, dust the surface and impregnate with DEFENS materials.

Previously painted surfaces suitable for repainting. Remove contaminants (e.g., grease and salts) that hinder. Surfaces must be dry and clean. Old surfaces with paint that has exceeded the maximum time for applying the next layer must be sanded to roughness. Damaged areas of the surface must be treated according to the substrate preparation and maintenance instructions. The place and time for the preliminary preparation of the surface for painting must be chosen so that the treated surface remains dry and clean until the next stage of painting the product.

Application

Before applying the primer-enamel, mix thoroughly for at least 5 minutes until a homogeneous consistency appears. Apply to the prepared substrate using air and airless spraying, brush, or roller. To obtain the material of the required working viscosity, the addition of a mixing solvent is possible. The surface to be painted must be dry and have a temperature at least 3 °C above the dew point. The recommended number of layers is 1-2. Carry out the work in accordance with the ISO 12944-7:2017 standard.

Packaging and storage

The paint is stored in a tightly closed container, protecting it from moisture and direct sunlight, away from heat sources, at a temperature of -20 to +30°C. The shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture without violating storage conditions. Minor delamination is allowed during prolonged storage, which does not affect the quality of the material.

Cleaning of tools

Working tools and equipment are rinsed with solvent or xylene immediately after use.
