Use and Care Manual

Surface Preparation Standards:
SSPC-SP1 Solvent Cleaning
Removal of all visible oil, grease, soil, drawing and cutting compounds, and
other soluble contaminants from steel surfaces with solvent LANCO®
Lacquer Thinner LT-102, vapor cleaning, alkali, emulsifying agent, or steam.
SSPC-SP2 Hand Tool Cleaning
Removes all loose mill scale, loose rust, loose paint, and other loose foreign
matter by hand chipping, scraping, sanding, and wire brushing.
SSPC-SP3 Power Tool Cleaning
Removes all loose mill scale, loose rust, loose paint, and other loose
detrimental foreign matter by power wire brushing, power sanding, power
grinding, power tool chipping, and power tool descaling.
SSPC-SP7 Brush-Off Blast Cleaning
When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free of all visible oil,
grease, dirt, dust, loose mill scale, loose rust, and loose coating. Tightly
adherent mill scale, rust, and coating may remain on the surface. Mill scale,
rust, and coating are considered tightly adherent if they cannot be removed
by lifting with a dull putty knife.
SSPC-SP13 / NACE 6 Surface Preparation of Concrete
Provides requirements for surface preparation of concrete by mechanical,
chemical, or thermal methods prior to the application of bonded protective
coating or lining systems.
Surface Application Recommendations:
Previously Painted Surfaces: Clean surface of all loose, peeling paint and
foreign material; spot prime bare metal areas.
If the paint is old, peeling or
badly weathered, hand tool clean (SSPC-SP2) or power tool clean
(SSPC-SP3). Glossy or Smooth surfaces should be sanded. If poor
adhesion of existing coatings is noted or coating is loosed by blistering,
rupture or scratching, aditional abrasion or removal methods may be
necessary to provide a clean and sound surface.
New Iron and Steel Metals: Clean surface of all loose rust, grease, oil, and
foreign material; spot prime bare metal. If the paint is old, peeling or badly
weathered, hand tool clean (SSPC-SP2) or power tool clean (SSPC-SP3).
New Galvanized Metal: Allow to weather a minimum of six months prior to
coating. Solvent clea
n as per SSPS-SP1 standard, then prime as required.
When weathering is not possible, solvent clean as per SSPS-SP1 and apply
a test patch, prime as required. Allow primer to dry one week before testing
for adhesion. If adhesion is poor, brush blast is recommended to remove
this treatment. Remove silicate or white rust by sanding (SSPC-SP7).
Water-soluble contaminants should be rinsed off with water.
New Aluminum: New surfaces must be free of oils and lubricants often
used in the fabrication or machining of aluminum. Use solvent cleaning
preparation SSPC-SP1 with LANCO® Lacquer Thinner LT-102 to clean and
remove any foreign matter th
at could affect the performance of the coating.
This can also be accomplished on exterior products by weathering for a
month to six weeks prior to the application of primer. Surface must be clean
and free of contaminants. If detergent is used, be sure to rinse well, and
allow to dry before paint. If small thin oxide film is found on surface, remove
by hand cleaning SSPC-SP2 or power cleaning SSPC-SP3.
Masonry and Concrete Surfaces: New mortar plaster, stucco and concrete
block must be cured prior to application. Remove any surface contaminant,
form release, curing agents or efflorescence, surface must have a safe pH
level
under 9 prior to the application of paint or primer. Surface preparation
of concrete by mechanical, chemical, or thermal methods as of SSPC-SP13
prior to the application of bonded protective coating or lining systems may
be necessary. Prime with Lanco
®
Maxima HP Primer MA-3305 or Lanco
®
Stain Killer Primer WP-039.
Wood and Plywood: Sand rough areas and prime properly prepared
surface with Lanco
®
Stain Killer™ Primer WP-039. Maximum acceptable
moisture content prior to coating new wood should be under 16%.
Method of Application:
Stir thoroughly before using. Do not apply when surface or air temperature
is below 50 ˚F or if rain is exp
ected within 5 hours. Apply product with
brush, roller or sprayer. Apply generously with a full brush or roller and
avoid excessive brushing or spreading too thinly. Typical standard practice
recommends intermixing when working with more than one container of
the same color, to ensure color consistency.
Mixing and Thinning: Mix always thoroughly before application. Thinning is
not recommended, if necessary use only 8oz. of water per gallon.
Brush: Use a 3/8” solvent resistant PA-1982 or polyester brush PA-1999.
Roller: Use a Lanco
®
All-Purpose 1/4“ or 3/8” Enamel Roller PA-565 or
PA-566. Apply generously, but avoid excessive brushing or reworking of
painted areas, do not apply or
spreading too thinly.
Conventional Spray: For suction feed, use a DeVilbiss MBC gun with an “E”
tip and needle and 30 air cap or equivalent, at 40-45 psi atomizing pressure.
For pressure feed, use a DeVilbiss MBC gun with an “E” tip and needle and
704 air cap or equivalent at 40-45 psi and 5-8 fluid pressure, 3/8” ID material
hose, double-regulated pressure tank with oil and moisture separator. Apply
two coats with overnight drying between coats to minimize pinholes on the
surface is recommended. See equipment’s manufacturer recommendation.
Airless Spray: Minimum of 28:1 ratio pump, with a .013”- .015” tip, 1/4” ID
Teflon material hose. Apply two coats with overnight drying between coats
to minimize pinholes on the surface is recommended. See equipment’s
manufacturer recommendation.
Precaution: Do not apply when air or surface temperature is below 50 ˚F (10
˚C). Apply liberally,but do not overspread. Stop painting at least two hours
before you expect dew to form or the temperature to fall below 50 ˚F (10 ˚C).
Important: It is important that you apply one coat of primer and two full
coats of paint to achieve the warranty protection.
Limited warranty: The manufacturers liability in connection with the sale of
this product extend only to the replacement price if it should fail to comply
with quality standards or specifications.
Safety precautions: Refer to SDS sheet before use.
Warning! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead
dust. Lead is toxic. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead
exposure. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family
by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or
log on to www.epa.gov/lead. For chemical emergency call ChemTrec
1-800-424-9300. Protect from freezing.
