310 Enamel
economical modified alkyd spraying enamel.
Description and uses:
310 Enamel is economical modified alkyd spraying enamel for use in light industrial environments, where top quality exterior durability is not required.
310 Enamel has the following features:
• Fast drying and setup
• Excellent recoat properties
• Tough film properties
• Extensive colour range
Typical areas of application are:
• Tools, machinery, pipelines, etc
• Structural steel and sheet metal
• Drums, trailers, etc
Technical Specifications:
FINISH: High Gloss.
THINNERS: T102 or T104 (or T124 for electrostatic application).
VOLUME SOLIDS: 39 – 42% depending on colour.
VOC: 490gms/litre. (White).
COVERAGE: 9-10 Square metres per litre (at a DFT of 40 microns).
RECOMMENDED FILM THICKNESS: 25 – 45 microns DFT.
APPLICATION: Conventional or Airless Spray.
DRYING AT 25’C / 50% Humidity:
- Touch dry: 20 – 30 minutes
- Recoat: 2 Hours
- Hard dry: Overnight.
Surface Preparation:
- When overcoating; Aged paint coatings should be tested for adhesion using
Crosshatch or Crosscut methods. If aged paint coating lifts remove it. - Remove all rust, oxides, millscale and lose paint from metal surface.
- Round off all sharp edges, welding joints and weld spatter.
- All surfaces to be painted should be clean and free from dust, dirt, oil, grease and
moisture. - All abrasive blast clean ferrous surfaces should be coated within 4 hours to avoid
flash rusting. - Do not apply at temperatures below 5’ Celsius. Do not apply at relative humidity
above 85%, or when the substrate surface is less than 3’ Celsius above dewpoint.
Equipment Application: (Conventional or Airless Spray Recommended).As a Guide Use:
- Brush or Roller – Suitable for small areas only, additional coats may be required to
achieve specific film build. - Conventional Spray – 1.3 -2.0mm tip (or equivalent). Pressure pot set at 55 – 100kpa
(8 – 15psi) and maintain gun air pressure 275 – 380kpa (40 -55psi). - Airless Spray – Use heavy-duty airless spray with 10 -15 “(0.25 – 0.38mm) plus tip and pump ratio 30:1.
