Description
PRESENTATION
HYGIENIC PAINT N is a bi-component epoxy polyamide primer with a high content in zinc phosphate.
FEATURES
HYGIENIC PAINT N has a strong anticorrosive power in industrial and marine environments. It show a very strong adhesion on metallic support of iron, steel, zinc surfaces, aluminum, and metal alloys.
USE
HYGIENIC PAINT N is ideal for preparing metallic support to be treated with catalyzed and synthetic varnishes.
It is particularly recommended to protect metallic structures, transformers, poles, carpentries, silos, plants, tanks, tubes, metal sheets, and penstocks from oxidation.
APPLICATION
The support must be dry, clean, and without traces of oil, fats, stains of coating and other detachable parts. To obtain the best result, it is suggested to sand the part to treat. Remove all traces of other agents on the support, since they could compromise the adhesion of the product and the final appearance of the surface.
HYGIENIC PAINT N can be applied by brush, by roll, by spray, and by airless pistol.
HYGIENIC PAINT N must be applied at a temperature between +5°C and +35°C, and with a relative humidity between 35% and 75%.
Once the package is open, carefully mix the product to remove eventual sedimentations. Carefully mix the two components A (base) and B (catalyzer) following the ratio 100 : 25.
Open time of application of the catalyzed product is around 3 hours (at normal environmental conditions).
Once dried, the tack free time at 20°C is 40 minutes, it can be painted over at 20°C after 12 hours, it is dry to the touch after 80 minutes, and it is completely dry after 24 hours.
Surfaces treated with HYGIENIC PAINT N should be painted over preferably in 30 days with varnish or finishing coatings.

STORAGE AND VALIDITY
If it is stored in its original packages protected by frost and heat, HYGIENIC PAINT N has a 12 months validity. Protect the product from frost, heat, and from direct sunlight.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not eat, drink or smoke during the application.
Use individual protective devices such as gloves, glasses, mask, and protective garments (as indicated in the security data sheet).
As far as we are aware, all provided information in this sheet are correct, but all recommendations and suggestions are given with no guarantees since we cannot directly control the conditions of application. In case of doubt, perform preliminary tests.
Always follow shipment and safety regulations and provisions. Please consult the technical sheet, the application directives, and the safety data sheet. Do not disperse the product and the packages in the environment.
For the disposal of the empty packages or in case of accidental spills of the product, follow the applicable disposal regulations.
