SURFACE This product should be applied to a surface that has been blast cleaned and suitably primed (e.g.
with EPILUX or ZINCANODE Primers)
PREPARATION
• Remove all wax, oil and grease by solvent cleaning in accordance with the guide lines given
by SSPC-SPI.
• Where necessary remove weld spatter and round off all rough weld seams and sharp edges to a
smooth surface.
• Abrasive blast clean to a minimum standard of Sa 2 ½ Swedish Standard SIS 05 59 00 or ISO
8501-1 : 1988.
• Any surface defects revealed by blast cleaning should be ground, filled or treated in a suitable
manner.
• An average surface profile of 50 microns is acceptable, but this average should not exceed 75
microns.
• After blasting, remove dust from the surface.
• The surface to be coated must also be clean and dry.
ALUMINIUM
• Degrease and abrade with Solvalux 7-45 and wet-or-dry paper. Apply LUXAPRIME 1500
followed by EPILUX primers.
CONCRETE
• Ensure that the surface is sound. Remove laitance by thorough wire brushing, acid etching or
sweep blasting. Blowholes and other defects should be filled with EPILUX 829. EPILUX 155
may be applied directly to the clean sound concrete provided the first coat is thinned up to
20% Solvalux 7-45.
