Etch Primer Grey 4L

DESCRIPTION:

GalMax™ ETCH Grey Etch Primer is an easy-to-use, chromate-free self-etch formulation developed for workshop application use on structural steelwork, sheets, and plates, as well as fiberglass, aluminum, and most metals. It offers maximum adhesion and surface corrosion resistance on iron and steel when exposed to mild chemicals and water, and provides excellent adhesion for additional top coats, primers, and sealers.
GalMax™ ETCH Primer is perfect for spot repairs and refinishing. It dries quickly and is designed to be a reliably tough and durable anti-corrosive base coat, commonly used on cranes and storage tanks. 

APPLICATION:

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants, removing all scale and rust as far as possible before application. Do not use acidic rust converters or removers. Do not paint over loose or unsound surfaces. Drying times are temperature-dependent.
Aerosol: Invert the can and shake well for at least one minute. Shake often during use. Hold the can upright and angle the fan jet for a horizontal or vertical pattern. Apply in even sweeping strokes approximately 250mm to 300mm from the surface. Apply several light coats a few minutes apart rather than one heavy coat. After spraying, invert the can and press the nozzle to clear the jet. If blocked, use fuse wire and mineral turps to clean the nozzle.
Bulk Liquid: Before use, stir contents thoroughly for 5 minutes using a flat stirrer with a circular, lifting motion. Stir occasionally during use. Apply 2 coats for optimum protection by brush, roller, or spray equipment.
Do not paint at temperatures below 15oC or above 40oC. Avoid high humidity
