Advantages on Steel
|
2.
Surface Preparation
|
- About
1/3 the cost of dry dock painting.
- Prepare
3 times the surface area in the same time in comparison
to conventional primers.
- Eliminate
crew overtime for preparation and painting.
- Non
Flammable, NonToxic, VOC Compliant.
- Improve
crew performance with easy to use training aids and quality
control tools.
- Easy
clean up with soap and water.
- No
mixing- it’s a one part product.
- Crew
can wait up to 30 days before top coating.
|
- Clean
surface to remove dirt, oil and salt before beginning
surface preparation.
- Use
solvent wiping with clean rags or commercial cleaner, brush
and rinse.
- Optional-
Spray area with Chlor*Rid diluted 100-1 to remove any salt
that may be present.
- If
there is no rust present let the surface flash rust and
dry overnight. Corroseal™ on steel works best when
rust is present.

SSPC Surface Standards
|
4.
Applying the Corroseal™
|
- Most
Marine Grade Primers call for surface prep to SSPC SP3.
- Corroseal™
calls for surface prep to SSPC SP2.
- SSPC
studies indicate that SP2
is 3 times as fast as SP3.Crew can cover 3 times the area
in the same man-hours or do the prep in 1/3 the time over
conventional primer prep.
|
- Use
Corroseal™ to convert rust and prime the entire surface
for top coating. Apply with a brush, roller or spray unit.
- Check
Corroseal™ with wet film gauge as it is applied.
- Do
all the areas and let it stand till the next day.
- Conversion
takes 24 hours. Don’t rush top coating.

Using Wet-Film Gauge
|
6.
Apply Topcoats
|
- Crew
checks wet paint film thickness.
- Correct
wet paint film controls paint coverage.
- Correct
wet paint film prevents technical problems in drying.
|
- Apply
top coat to weatherproof the primer.
- Corroseal™
will last as long as the top coat remains waterproof.
- Use
the wet film gauge to get the correct wet film thickness
and to help eliminate osmotic failure.
- Doing
the entire area cuts down wasted paint or leftovers.
