Drying Time:

Substrate Temp	Touch Dry	Hard Dry	Recoat Interval
23°C	15 min	16 hrs	Min: 4 hrs, Max: 7 days

Surface Preparation:

• Oxidized steel: Polish manually or with an electric wire brush to St2 level.
• Non-oxidized steel: Polish manually or with an electric wire brush to St2 level.
• Steel with shop primer: Polish manually or with an electric wire brush to St2 level.
• Welded or heat-affected areas: Remove weld slag, smooth out, and polish to St2 level.
• Steel with old paint: Remove loose and deteriorated paint, polish to St2 level.

Before applying a subsequent coat, ensure the prior coat is fully dry. For aged coatings, sand the surface and remove any contaminants such as grease, dust, acids, alkalis, or moisture.

Safety Precautions

• Ensure all tools and surfaces are dry and clean. Avoid contact with water, acids, or alkalis during mixing and application.
• Do not apply in humidity above 75%, during rain, or in foggy weather.
• Ensure adequate ventilation during application. Workers must wear protective gear to prevent inhalation of paint mist and contact with eyes or skin.
• If paint comes into contact with skin, wash with soap and water immediately. If it enters the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention.
• In case of fire, do not use water. Use foam, CO2 extinguishers, or dry powder extinguishers.
