SURFACE PREPARATION:
All surfaces must be clean, free of dust, chalk, oil, grease,
wax, polish, mold and mildew stains, loose and peeling
paint, rust and all other foreign substances.
Steel: Minimum surface preparation is Hand Tool Cleaning
in accordance with SSPC-SP2. Remove all oil and grease from
the surface with a solvent in accordance with SSPC-SP1.
For optimal performance, use Commercial Blast Cleaning
in accordance with SSPC-SP6. Prime the area with a rust-
inhibitive primer the same day as cleaned.
Galvanized Steel: Solvent clean new galvanized metal in
accordance with SSPC-SP1 to remove oil and grease from
the surface. Pre-treat with a phosphoric acid solution or
a commercially-available etching solution. Galvanized
metal that has been passivated with chromates or silicates
may require brush blasting in accordance with SSPC-SP16
to remove these treatments. Rusty galvanizing requires a
minimum of Hand Tool Cleaning in accordance with SSPC-
SP2. Prime the area the same day as cleaned.
Shop-Primed Steel: As there is potential for many forms
of contamination during storage and transport, a thorough
cleaning is always recommended for shop-primed surfaces.
Paint exposed areas, i.e., where shop primer is abraded,
with the same material as used for shop priming to comply
with SSPC-PA 1 for touching up shop-primed surfaces. Note:
Assess the integrity of the shop primer prior to application
of subsequent coatings. Review all coatings intended for the
project and conrm the compatibility between shop and
eld-applied coatings.

This coating conforms to the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) regulatory requirements for incidental
food-contact materials intended for use on surfaces not in
direct contact with food, such as walls, oors and ceilings.
Aluminum: Remove all oil and grease from the surface with
a solvent in accordance with SSPC-SP1. Prime the area the
same day as cleaned.
Drywall: All drywall surfaces should be suciently sanded
smooth. Remove any remaining drywall dust prior to
priming. Allow all drywall compounds to be completely dry
prior to coating.
Wood: Remove mill glaze with sandpaper or use a product
such as BEHR PREMIUM® All-In-One Wood Cleaner No. 63
(exterior only) to open the pores of the wood and follow
all label instructions. For severe stains caused by mold,
mildew, algae and fungus, apply a mildew stain removing
product. Set nails and ll holes, scratches, and gouges with
the appropriate wood ller and let dry completely. Remove
all dust with a wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic,
siliconized, paintable caulking and allow to dry completely.
Patched and lled surfaces should be sanded smooth
and dusted clean prior to coating. WARNING! Sanding or
scraping pressure treated lumber may be hazardous; wear
appropriate protection.
Masonry: Allow to cure for 30 days. The pH must be 10 or
lower prior to coating. Remove bond breakers and all form
release and curing agents. Smooth masonry may require an
adequate prole for adhesion. Remove all loose aggregate
and debris. If painting cannot wait 30 days or pH level is
above 10, allow the surface to cure 7 days and prime the
surface with an alkali-resistant primer.
Plaster: New plaster should be thoroughly dried out and
cured for a minimum of 30 days before painting. When
cured, clean using a mixed solution of one part vinegar
and one part water to remove eorescence and neutralize.
Prime the area with an alkali-resistant primer.
