Aqua metal protection 345

Surface:

iron, stainless steel, galvanised surfaces, aluminium (also anodised), hard PVC, powder coatings, coil coating, copper

Surface preparation:

The surface must be dry and free from rust, scale, oil, grease and other contamination; remove any loose paint. Borax residues must be completely removed from hard solder points. Old paintwork must be sanded down. De-grease aluminium with cellulose thinner prior to coating. Galvanised surfaces (BFS Bulletin No. 5): Corrosion products, grease and other contaminants must be completely removed.

For the preparation of zinc surfaces, pre-treatment with diluted ammonia solution in conjunction with wetting agents has proven to be successful. For 10 litres of water, mix in ½ litre of ammonia solution and approx. 8 cm (1 tablespoon) of wetting agent, e.g. washing-up liquid etc. With this mixture, the surface is sanded using synthetic fleece, until the foam becomes metallic grey. The foam must remain on the surface to work in for approx. 10 minutes. Afterwards, wash off with clear water and dry. Reworking lightly with sandblasting has also proven to be successful. Aluminium / stainless steel: De-grease and roughen with sanding fleece.  Hard PVC: Cleaning and sanding.

Powder coatings and anodising: De-grease and thoroughly roughen. Check powder coatings for suitability. Only coat small anodised surfaces.
