Auto Protect

Auto Protect

 

Product

A single component oxidatively fast drying, rust inhibitive primer, pigmented with Zinc Phosphate as corrosion inhibiting pigment.

Recommended Use

It is recommended as primer for Casting & Forging components, Diesel Engines, Pumps, Valves and Heavy Agriculture euipments etc, where fast turn around is required for rapid productivity. It can also be applied over hand prepared steel for use in mild industrial or commercial environment.

Surface Preparation

All surfaces to be coated should be clean, absolutely dry and oil or moisture free before painting application. Oil and grease should be removed by solvent cleaning. This product is suitable for use over phosphate washed steel.

Steel: Abrasive blast clean to a minimum of Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007). Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate manner. A surface profile of 30-40 microns is recommended.

Primed Surface: Already primed surface should be dry and free from all contamination and Auto Protect should be applied within the overcoating intervals specified in earlier primer TDS. Area of damaged primer or rework etc should be prepared as per specified standards, either by power tool cleaning or other means.

Application Data

Application Method

: Conventional Spray/ Airless Spray/Brush/ Roller

Mixing Ratio

: One Component Coating

Thinner and Cleaner 

: Auto Thinner 

Airless Nozzle Orifice

: 0.33 - 0.45mm

: 155 kg/cm² or 2200 psi

Working Precautions: Material should not be allowed to remain in pipeline, hoses, gun or spray equipment. Thoroughly flush all equipment with Auto thinner. Once units of paint have been mixed they should not be resealed and it is advised that after prolonged stoppages, the work should recommences with freshly mixed units.

Maintenance: Clean all equipment immediately after use with Auto thinner. It is good working practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of the working day. All surplus materials and empty containers should be disposed of in accordance with appropriate regional regulations/legislation.

Product Features

Anti corrosive products based on special polymers are most suitable for the protection of light industrial steelwork in internal dry environments or on exposed steelwork which is situated in low corrosivity environments corresponding to ISO12944 C1, C2 and C3 only. Anti-corrosive performance on hand prepared steel is related directly to both the degree of surface preparation and the dry film thickness of the system applied.This product must only be thinned using the recommended thinner. The use of alternative thinners, might contains alcohols, can severely affect the curing mechanism of the coating. Auto Coat 495 should be applied at least 3°C temperatures above dew point and below 85% of relative humidity.

When overcoating with Epoxies or Polyurethanes, it is recommended to adhere to the DFT specifications and suffcient time of curing is given. Overcoating of Auto Coat 490 should be avoided in this case.

Storage

This is solvent based coating and the containers should be kept in a dry, cool, well ventilated space and away from sources of heat and ignition. Containers must be kept tightly closed.

Precuation

This product is for professional use only. The paint applicators should be trained, experienced and have the capability and equipment to mix and apply the coatings correctly as instructed. Applicators should use appropriate protection equipment when using this product.This is solvent based product and should be use under well ventilated conditions. Do not inhale spray mist. Skin contact should be avoided. In case of spillage on the skin, it should immediately be removed with suitable cleanser, soap and water. Eyes should be well flushed with water.
