TECHNICAL DATA SHEET. Stabilising Prime r

Description.	A specially developed penetrating Stabilising Primer.
	Primarily used to seal porous masonry substrates and to
	provide a sound base on dusty or friable areas. The
	prepared surface once dry can then be directly painted with
	masonry paints or other surface coatings.
Properties.	Based on a modified hydrocarbon resin. The solution of
	this resin having a flash point greater than 35 ° C.
Preparation.	Great attention should be paid to prepara tion, as this is the
	single most important step in the painting sequence.
	Prior to treatment, ensure that all traces of grease, dust, oil,
	grit etc are completely removed. It is important to remove
	as much as possible of loose and flaking material from the
	surface by wire brushing, grit blasting or other techniques.
	The surface must be dry and clean before treating with
	stabilising primer. Once the surface has been suitably
	prepared, apply one liberal coating of Stabilising Primer
	and allow to dry for 24 hours before overpainting.
	Exceptionally dry or dusty surfaces may require more than
	one coat of Stabilising Primer for best results. Application
	in very cold or wet conditions should be avoided.
Coverage.	Approximately 7-9 sq. metres per litre depending on the
	surface condition.
Application.	Brush or airless spray can be used.
	Do not thin for brush application.
	For airless spray application, thinning is unlikely to be
	required.
	Spray tip aperture 15 thou (0.38mm)
	Spray tip angle 70-80 °
	Minimum working pressure 2000psi.
	Do not apply in cold or damp conditions.

Drying Time . Up to 3 hours in normal conditions. Usually recoatable overnight.
