Surface Preparation
The substrate must be sound, clean, dry and free from dust, oil, grease, laitance etc. All traces of form release agents/curing agents
must be removed. A light sanding with suitable abrasive material is recommended before application. Any resulting dust/loose
particles must be removed. Suitable substrate is Blast cleaned steel to Sa 2.5 Minimum.

Condition during application

Do not apply at temperature below 10oC or if the Relative humidity exceeds 85% or within 3oC of the Dew Point.

Application Methods
KAN-THYL Ethyl Zinc Silicate primer can be applied using roller, brush, conventional or airless spray. Apply an even coat to the
recommended film build using a brush or roller. While using a spray apply one wet coat overlapping the last one by 50%. Freshly mixed
material must not be added to material which has been in use for some time. Stir liquid thoroughly and then mix to uniform consistence
40 parts liquid with 60 part powder by weight. Allow to stand 10 minutes and stir continuously during use. Mix only sufficient product
