Steel

Steel floors (uncoated) using water based two pack system

Prior to painting the surface must be well prepared and free from loosely adhering material and contamination such as dirt, grease, oil, polish etc.

This system is not suitable for external use or areas subjected to prolonged contact with wet vehicle tyres.

Prepared steel must be primed before it has time to deteriorate below the specified standard.

In order to dry correctly, the coatings (especially waterbased types), require good air flow at temperatures above 10 degrees centigrade with a relative humidity below 85%. Do not recoat or use the floor until the coating is fully dry.

Optimum chemical and abrasion resistance will not be achieved until the final finishing coat is allowed to dry for a minimum of seven days. Optimum intercoat adhesion properties will only be achieved if subsequent coats are applied within seven days. Refer to Data Sheet 506 for further information.

Comply at all times with BS 6150 : 2006 Code of practice for Painting of Buildings (or as amended) and BS EN ISO 12944 : 1998 Corrosion Protection of Steel Structures by Protective Paint Systems (or as amended).

For optimum performance blast-clean to BS EN ISO 8501-1 : 2001 Sa 2.5 to give an appropriate surface profile.

If this is not practical, thoroughly clean the surfaces to remove all dirt, grease or other contamination. Rub down with a suitable abrasive and dust off. Use an emulsifying oil and grease remover to clean the surface if necessary. Rinse surfaces thoroughly with frequent changes of clean water to remove all residues. Wet vacuum equipment or absorbent material may be required to soak up excessive water. Allow to dry. Before painting sweep and vacuum the floor to remove any surface dust

Remove all corrosion products by whatever means appropriate i.e; scrape, manual or mechanical abrading or *'track blasting' etc.(*See ICI Site Work Instructions SW4.84) to produce a clean metal surface.

For optimum performance blast-clean to BS 7079 Part A1: 1989. Sa 2.5 to give an appropriate surface profile.

Use Dulux Oil and Grease Remover to clean the surface if necessary.The product can either be used diluted with an equal amount of clean water or used neat, depending on how heavy the deposits are. The solution should be brushed on liberally, followed by brushing with a stiff brush. Rinse surfaces thoroughly with frequent changes of clean water to remove all residues. Wet vacuum equipment or absorbent material may be required to soak up excessive water. Allow to dry. Before painting sweep and vacuum the floor to remove any surface dust.

Steel floors (uncoated) using single pack system

Prior to painting the surface must be well prepared and free from loosely adhering material and contamination such as dirt, grease, oil, polish etc.

Single pack floor paints are not suitable for areas of high wear i.e. where vehicles are in use.

This system is not suitable for external use or areas subjected to prolonged contact with wet vehicle tyres.

In order to dry correctly, the coatings(especially waterbased types), require good air flow at temperatures above 10 degrees centigrade with a relative humidity below 85%. Do not recoat or use the floor until the coating is fully dry, drying times are laid out in the product data sheets.
