Recommended use

FERROTAN-pro is used for corrosion protection of metal structures operated in atmospheric conditions of all macroclimatic areas, atmospheric types and placement categories according to GOST 15150-69:

 - when applied to a metal surface, the primer has good spreading and wetting properties; strengthens the layers of residual rust. It is recommended for painting the steel structures with surface treated up to 4 grade according to GOST 9.402-2004 (St 3 - St 2 according to ISO 8501-1), i.e. surfaces with traces of tightly adherent rust and mill scale.

- When applying to the concrete and reinforced concrete structures it penetrates well and strengthens the concrete surface.

DESCRIPTION

FERROTAN-pro primer is used for anti-corrosion treatment of various surfaces. When protecting steel structures, it is allowed to apply FERROTAN-pro on the remains of firmly bonded rust.  The primer has good spreading and wetting properties, effectively stabilizes residual rust layers, and serves as a foundation for establishing strong adhesion with subsequent protective coating layers.

When applied to concrete and reinforced concrete structures, FERROTAN-pro is well absorbed, strengthens surface layer of concrete, contributing to an increase in its mechanical strength and frost resistance.

Polyurethane primer is used in complex coating systems with polyurethane-based materials. These coatings can be applied at subzero temperatures and high humidity, which makes them convenient when working in the field.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

CONSUMPTION PER M2

The theoretical consumption for a single-layer coating is 45-90 g/m2.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Metal surface:

• degreasing up to 1 grade according to GOST 9.402-2004;
• power tool cleaning of peeling rust and mill scale up to 4 grade according to GOST 9.402-2004 (St 3 or St 2 according to ISO 8501-1:2007);
• dust removal

Concrete surface made ready for coating according to SNiP 3.04.03-85 shall be uniformly rough and free of any protruding reinforcement, cracks, holes, pockets, laps, splits of edges, oil stains, contamination, and dust.

Procedure:

• remove contamination, oil and grease;
• remove lime (cement) milk, destructed or peeling layers of concrete and previous coatings with abrasive cleaning, grinding machine or brushes;
• remove dust;
• repair of cracks and splits.

Holding time for concrete base after concrete casting prior to primer application shall be at least 28 days; after use of leveling compounds holding time shall be according to standard documentation of compound manufacturer.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Mix the primer thoroughly before use until smooth.

During application the base temperature shall be at least 3 °С higher than dew point; humidity of concrete base shall be at most 4 % by weight.

Primer is applied at temperature between minus 15 °С and plus 40 °С and relative air humidity between 30 % and 98 % (the optimum application is at relative air humidity between 40 % and 80 % and at temperature between plus 5 °С and plus 30 °С).

Drying time of coating depends on temperature and relative air humidity: when air humidity increases the drying time decreases.

Each following FERROTAN-pro primer coat shall be painted after drying of the previous coat up to 3 degree according to GOST 19007-73.

Minimum holding time for FERROTAN-pro coat prior to painting of top coat is “touch dry” drying time (when thoroughly touched with hand no marks remain on the coating). Maximum holding time at temperature plus 20 °С and relative air humidity up to 50 % is 7 days. With increasing temperature and air humidity, the maximum inter-layer interval of drying is recommended to be reduced to 3 days.

To avoid the occurrence of coating defects and to ensure good adhesion of subsequent layers, it is necessary to observe the interlayer coating drying intervals.

STORAGE OF ANTI-CORROSIVE PRIMER

FERROTAN-pro is supplied in 20 and 1 litre metal containers.

Storage conditions of the base and hardener - in accordance with GOST 9980.5-2009 (at ambient air temperature from minus 40 to plus 40 °C). In storage the package shall be protected from lasting direct sunlight and atmospheric condensation.

The shelf life is 12 months starting with the date of manufacture.

SECURITY MEASURES

When working with the primer, the existing sectoral standard norms and requirements and safety measures as specified on the package label shall be observed.

Use personal protective equipment (glasses, masks, respirators) and avoid inhaling solvents during evaporation and getting the primer on the skin, mucous membranes of the eyes and respiratory tract, use indoors only with sufficient ventilation.

The primer is classified as fire-hazardous material.

COMPATIBILITY OF FERROTAN-pro PRIMER WITH OTHER VMP MATERIALS

The primer is used in complex coating systems with polyurethane paint and varnish materials ALUMOTANE, POLYTON-UR, FERROTAN.
