PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

In order to achieve optimum performance on neatly prepared steel, Maximum film build in one coat is
best attained by airless spray. Avoid using high pressure ratio pumps as this will lead to dry spray.
Low or high temperatures may require specific application techniques to achieve maximum film
build.

With freshly blast cleaned surfaces a slight degree of flash rusting is allowable, and is preferable to
the surface being too wet. Puddles, pounding and accumulations of water must be removed.

Zinc-O-Sil is not recommended for continuous dry temperature above 400°C. However when top
coated with Heat Resistant Silicone can be recommended in dry temperature exposure 540° C.

Surface temperature must always be a minimum of 3° C (5° F) above dew point. For the complete
cure of Zinc Silicates RH (Relative Humidity ) must be > 50 % all the time during the application as
well as cure . In case of low RH, it is always recommended to gently sprinkle water on the coated
surface or by creating artificial Humid conditions.

Level of surface finish is dependent on application method. Avoid using a mixture of application
methods whenever possible.

Zinc -0 -Sil is capable of being applied up to 100 Microns DFT in a single coat as a part of Protective
coating system as per ISO-12944 In common with all Inorganic Zinc Silicates, Zinc - 0-Sil will have
mud cracks when applied at higher DFT above 125 Microns. However, these phenomena can be
controlled by applying the correct DFT. Mud Cracks is detrimental to anti-corrosive performance.

Zinc -0- Sil must be tested for degree of cure as per ASTM-D 4752 by using MEK (Methyl Ethyl
Keton)

Do not over coat uncured Zinc silicates . Zinc Silicates film is porous and hence mist coat application
of the subsequent coat is always recommended or a thin film primer such as Pentadur ZP 8531 can
be applied to 30-40 microns thickness .

While over coating weathered Zinc-O-Sil it is always recommended to have surface free of any Zinc
Corrosion products such as white rust . It must be removed either by high pressure water jetting or by
abrading the surface with hand tools.

SYSTEMS COMPATABILITY

Zinc -0-Sil must be applied on well prepared blasted steel surface.

Zinc -0-Sil is used as Primer in High performance Coating Systems designed as per ISO -12944.

Recommended Top Coats are

Pentaseal Rust Cover 100— All versions.

Pentadur Range of Epoxy Primers & Intermediates.

Pentatherm Range of Heat Resistant Coatings.

Pentathane HS / Pentathane 4510 Top Coats.

Other suitable Coating Schemes as per ISO 12944 are available.

Consult Grauer & Weil India Ltd.

SURFACE PREPARATION
The performance of this product will depend upon the degree of surface preparation. The surface to be
coated must be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to paint application all surfaces should be
assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504:1992. Accumulated dirt and soluble salts must be
removed. Dry bristle brushing will normally be adequate for accumulated dirt. Soluble salts should be
removed by fresh water washing.
Abrasive Blast Cleaning
For atmospheric exposure best performance will be achieved when Zinc -0- Sil is applied to surfaces
prepared to a minimum of Sa21/2 (ISO 8501-1:1988) or SSPC- SP10. Surface defects revealed by the
blast cleaning process, should be ground, filled or treated in the appropriate manner.
A surface profile of 40-55 microns (1.5-2 mils) is recommended.

It is recommended to carry out touch with Epoxy Zinc Rich or Pentaseal Rust Cover 100 or Pentadur
Mastic 5517 in case repair of damaged coating
Aged Coatings
Zinc -0- Si! is NOT suitable for over coating a limited range of intact, tightly adherent aged coatings. It
must be applied on the metal substrates to provide galvanic / sacrificial performance.

APPLICATION Mixing Material is supplied in two containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit
in the proportions supplied. Once the unit has been mixed it must be used
within the working pot life specified.
