Hardener Selection
RAPTOR 4:1 Anti-Corrosive Epoxy Primer is only compatible with the included RAPTOR 4:1 Anti-Corrosive Epoxy Primer Hardener
Substrate Preparation
- For best results, good preparation is essential: Clean and degrease removing dirt, oil, grease and wax with a cleaning solution, like U-POL SYSTEM 20 Solvent Based Degreaser (UP2012, UP2022) or Water Based Degreaser (UP2002). Remove all loose material including rust and oxidation as per the recommendations below.
- RAPTOR 4:1 Anti-Corrosive Epoxy Primer can be applied directly to properly prepared rust without a requirement for chemical preparation. The lifetime of the coating in severe conditions is enhanced by more rigorous surface preparation. For light corrosion, mechanical hand preparation or mechanical power tool preparation (i.e. SSPC-SP3 (SSI-St3)) is sufficient to prepare the surface. Loose and flaky material should be removed before applying.
- For heavily oxidized/rusted metals, severe exposure conditions or warranty work, the surface should be sandblasted to Near White sand blasting standard (SSPC-SP10 (SSI-SA2.5)) (up to 15% stains/shadows).
