SURFACE The service life span and the service performance of Water based Universal Primer are directly
related to the degree of surface preparation.
PREPARATION
STEEL
 Remove all wax, oil and grease by solvent cleaning in accordance to guidelines given by
 SSPC-SP1.
 Dry brushing to remove soluble salts, dirt and dust.
 Freshwater jetting is required to remove all loose contaminants and soluble salt deposition. 
 Remove scale by chipping, needle gun or spot blasting. Any loose or flaking coatings
 should be taken back to a firm edge.
 Mechanically clean the surface using hand or power tools to a minimum standard of St 2
 (ISO 8501-1:1988) or SSPC-SP2 taking care to avoid polishing the surface.
 Where necessary removes weld spatter and round off all rough weld seams and sharp
edges to a smooth surface.
To avoid condensation of moisture onto substrate prior to coating application, relative humidity
should not exceed 85% and substrate temperature should be more than 3C above Dew Point
ALUMINIUM & GALVANIZED IRON
 Wipe the surface using suitable solvent to remove oil, grease, dirt & dust etc.
 Dry properly before application of Primer. In case of any residual contaminants paint may
show de-wetting or fish eye defect.
.WOOD & CONCRETE
 Ensure the surface is dry and clean from surface contaminants.
