2K Direct to Metal

Two component polyurethane technology containing anticorrosive pigmentation, which can be applied direct to metal substrates giving a high gloss finish.

DESCRIPTION

Commercial Performance Coatings 2K Direct To Metal is a two component polyurethane technology containing anticorrosive pigmentation, which can be applied direct to metal substrates giving a high gloss finish.

It is a high productivity, one layer system that can be applied at high film thicknesses – up to 160μm wet film – with good adhesion to most common substrates such as bare steel, tinplate, iron, stainless steel (blasting recommended) and glass fibre reinforced plastics.

Utilizing the SELEMIX® universal tinter system, Commercial Performance Coatings 2K Direct To Metal is available in a range of colours and gloss levels.

Note: These binders must NOT be used as clear coats by themselves and should always be tinted to a required colour.

Cast Iron                                                                          STARTLINE® P80-P120 – dry

Bare Steel                                                                        Startline P80-P120 – dry, or shot blast

Phosphated Steel                                                           Startline Scourer

Light Alloys                                                                    Startline P280-P320 – dry

Aluminium (Etch recommended)                             Startline P280-P320 – dry

Fibre Reinforced Plastic                                              Startline P240 – dry

Surfaces showing heavy scale or surface rust should be treated with 971-9119 Protec Metal Conditioner. Heavily rusted surfaces should be abrasively blast cleaned.

Before and after any sanding operation, the substrate must be thoroughly degreased using AA6822 Protec Heavy Duty Wax & Grease Remover to remove all traces of dirt, oil, grease, silicone, wax etc.

Substrates other than those stated above should be tested before use, to ensure that the performance of this product is suitable for its intended use.
