Surface Preparation
- All surfaces to be coated must be perfectly cleaned. The presence of oil grease, dust, rust, etc. on the surface will not give satisfactory result.
- Oil grease should be removed by either wipe out method or solvent/emulsion degreasing method
- Rust, scales and other deposites on the metal surface should be cleaned by abrasive blast cleaning method or by using wire brushes or abrasion tools.
- Plastics & Rubber surfaces should be cleaned by solvent wipe out method to remove oils & greases and other lubricating materials deposited on them.
- Wood should be properly seasoned with minimum moisture content.
