All preparation and painting must conform to AS/NZS 2311:2009 Guide to the painting of buildings. NB: This Standard provides a guide to products and procedures for the painting of buildings for general domestic, commercial and industrial use. The Standard does not include a specific recommendation for the long-term protection of iron or steel exposed directly to the atmosphere or to internal climates likely to have aggressive environments which are dealt with in AS/NZS 2312.
Only apply if surface, air and product temperatures are between 10°C and 32°C. Do not apply if the surface temperature is below 10C or conditions indicate it will fall below10C during the drying period. For difficult surface priming applications do not tint For difficult surface priming applications do not thin unless absolutely necessary. Maximum addition of 100 mls per 1 Litre
Finishing: Topcoat within 30 days to prevent contamination of the primer before painting.
Precision Maximum Strength Adhesion Primer can be used where ensuring a secure bond is critical in situations when performance of a traditional water or oil-base primer may be questionable. For interior and exterior use on a variety of surfaces including; Kynar®, Fluoroset®, uPVC, Vinyl (unplasticised), Formica®, Laminex®, glass, tile, glazed brick, chalky paints, glossy finishes, fiberglass and metals.
Not recommended for floors or horizontal surfaces or areas subject to prolonged water contact.
Precision Maximum Strength Adhesion Primer may be used under epoxies, lacquers and products containing Xylene or other "hot" solvents, provided it’s allowed to dry for 24 hours before top-coating and tested for compatibility in an inconspicuous area before full coat application.
When used under solvent based enamel paints Precision Maximum Strength Adhesion Primer MUST be sanded prior to application of the top coat. When used under water based top coats containing high levels of slow evaporating coalescing solvents, allow Precision Maximum Strength Adhesion primer to dry for at least 2 hours before applying the first layer of top coat.
Precision Maximum Strength Adhesion Primer will gain full strength in 7 days after application.
All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of oil, grease, mildew, wax, dust, flaky rust, mill scale, loose paint, chalk and other foreign matter that could interfere with adhesion.
If washing is necessary, use a non-soapy detergent or Selleys® Sugar Soap, rinse well and allow to dry. Remove loose rust, peeling paint and mill scale with a scraper, wire brush or sandpaper. Clean bare metal in accordance with specific recommendations for the long-term protection of iron or steel which are dealt with in AS/NZS 2312.
Peeling or Cracked Paint: Scrape off loose paint and sand to a smooth surface. Sanding or removal of paint containing lead is hazardous.
Mould or Mildew Covered Surfaces: Wash the area with a mildew remover, rinse with water and allow to dry before priming. While Precision Maximum Strength Adhesion Primer is formulated to bond without sanding, it is recommended that a small area be tested for adhesion prior to beginning the job.
Eye protection is recommended.
Only apply if surface, air and product temperatures are between 10°C and 32°C.
Apply using a brush, roller or spray;
Brush – High quality Nylon/Polyester
Roller – High quality 9-12mm nap on smooth surfaces or 12-19mm nap on semi-rough or porous surfaces.
Airless spray – 0.015" - 0.021" tip / 60 mesh filter @ 2,500 – 3,200 PSI
For spray applications; a small amount of water (no more than 100mls per 1 Litre) may be added. Stir thoroughly before and occasionally during use.
