SURFACE PREPARATIONS
Surface must be clean, dry, and in sound condition. Remove all
oil, dust, grease, dirt, loose rust, and other foreign material to
ensure adequate adhesion.
Iron & Steel
Minimum surface preparation is Hand Tool Clean per SSPC-SP2.
Remove all oil and grease from surface by Solvent Cleaning per
SSPC-SP1. For better performance, use Commercial Blast Clean-
ing per SSPC-SP6, blast clean all surfaces using a sharp, angular
abrasive for optimum surface profi le (2 mils / 50 microns). Prime
any bare steel within 8 hours or before fl ash rusting occurs.
Previously Painted Surfaces
If in sound condition, clean the surface of all foreign material.
Smooth, hard, or glossy coatings and surfaces should be dulled by
abrading the surface. Apply a test area, allowing paint to dry one
week before testing adhesion. If adhesion is poor, or if this product
attacks the previous fi nish, removal of the previous coating may be
necessary. If paint is peeling or badly weathered, clean surface to
sound substrate and treat as a new surface as above.

turer's safety recommendations when using any solvent.
DISCLAIMER
The information and recommendations set forth in this Product Data Sheet are
based upon tests conducted by or on behalf of The Sherwin-Williams Company.
Such information and recommendations set forth herein are subject to change and

Williams representative to obtain the most recent Product Data Information and
Application Bulletin.
PERFORMANCE TIPS
Stripe coat all crevices, welds, and sharp angles to prevent early
failure in these areas.
When using spray application, use a 50% overlap with each pass
of the gun to avoid holidays, bare areas, and pinholes. If necessary,
cross spray at a right angle.
Spreading rates are calculated on volume solids and do not include
an application loss factor due to surface profi le, roughness or po-
rosity of the surface, skill and technique of the applicator, method
of application, various surface irregularities, material lost during
mixing, spillage, overthinning, climatic conditions, and excessive
fi lm build.
Excessive reduction of material can affect fi lm build, appearance,
and adhesion.
In order to avoid blockage of spray equipment, clean equipment
before use or before periods of extended downtime with Xylene,
R2K4.
Intimate contact of the steel surface and primer is necessary for
adhesion and rust inhibition.
Refer to Product Information sheet for additional performance
characteristics and properties.

SURFACE PREPARATIONS
Surface must be clean, dry, and in sound condition. Remove all oil, dust, grease, dirt, loose rust, and other foreign material to ensure adequate adhesion.
Iron & Steel, Immersion Service:
Remove all oil and grease from surface by Solvent Cleaning per SSPC-
SP1. Minimum surface preparation is Near White Metal Blast Cleaning per
SSPC-SP10/NACE 2 or SSPC-SP12/NACE 5. For SSPC-SP10/NACE 2,
blast clean all surfaces using a sharp, angular abrasive for optimum surface
profi le (2 mils / 50 microns). For SSPC-SP12/NACE No. 5, all surfaces to
be coated shall be cleaned in accordance with WJ-2. Pre-existing profi le
should be approximately 2 mils (50 microns). Light rust bloom is allowed.
Remove all weld spatter and round all sharp edges by grinding. Prime any
bare steel the same day as it is cleaned.
Iron & Steel, Atmospheric Service:
Minimum surface preparation is Hand Tool Clean per SSPC-SP2 or SSPC-
SP12/NACE 5. For surfaces prepared by SSPC-SP2, fi rst remove all oil
and grease from surface by Solvent Cleaning per SSPC-SP1. For better
performance, use Commercial Blast Cleaning per SSPC-SP6/NACE 3,
blast clean all surfaces using a sharp, angular abrasive for optimum sur-
face profi le (2 mils). For surfaces prepared by SSPC-SP12/NACE No. 5,
all surfaces shall be cleaned in accordance with WJ-4. Pre-existing profi le
should be approximately 2 mils (50 microns). Prime any bare steel the
same day as it is cleaned.
Galvanized Steel
Allow to weather a minimum of six months prior to coating. Solvent Clean per
SSPC-SP1 (recommended solvent is VM&P Naphtha). When weathering
is not possible, or the surface has been treated with chromates or silicates,
fi rst Solvent Clean per SSPC-SP1 and apply a test patch. Allow paint to
dry at least one week before testing adhesion. If adhesion is poor, brush

APPLICATION BULLETIN
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Surface preparation must be completed as indicated.
Mix contents of each component thoroughly using low speed
power agitation. Make certain no pigment remains on the bottom
of the can. Then combine 4 parts by volume of Part A with 1 part
by volume of Part B. Thoroughly agitate the mixture with power
agitation. Allow the material to sweat-in as indicated prior to ap-
plication. Re-stir before using.
If reducer solvent is used, add only after both components have
been thoroughly mixed, after sweat-in.
Apply paint at the recommended fi lm thickness and spreading rate as indicated below:

DISCLAIMER
The information and recommendations set forth in this Product Data Sheet are
based upon tests conducted by or on behalf of The Sherwin-Williams Company.
Such information and recommendations set forth herein are subject to change and
pertain to the product offered at the time of publication. Consult your Sherwin-
Williams representative to obtain the most recent Product Data Information and

PERFORMANCE TIPS
Stripe coat crevices, welds, and sharp angles to prevent early
failure in these areas.
When using spray application, use a 50% overlap with each pass
of the gun to avoid holidays, bare areas, and pinholes. If necessary,
cross spray at a right angle
Spreading rates are calculated on volume solids and do not include
an application loss factor due to surface profi le, roughness or po-
rosity of the surface, skill and technique of the applicator, method
of application, various surface irregularities, material lost during
mixing, spillage, overthinning, climatic conditions, and excessive
fi lm build.
Excessive reduction of material can affect fi lm build, appearance,
and adhesion.
Insuffi cient ventilation, incomplete mixing, miscatalyzation, and
external heaters may cause premature yellowing.
Excessive fi lm build, poor ventilation, and cool temperatures may
cause solvent entrapment and premature coating failure.
For Immersion Service: (if required) Holiday test in accordance
with ASTM D5162 for steel, or ASTM D4787 for concrete.
Do not mix previously catalyzed material with new.
Do not apply the material beyond recommended pot life.
In order to avoid blockage of spray equipment, clean equipment
before use or before periods of extended downtime with Reducer
R7K104.
Please contact your Sherwin-Williams Representative for
recommendations for immersion service of tinted material.
When coating over aluminum and galvanizing, recommended
dft is 2-4 mils (50-100 microns).
