Coating Systems:
Finish Coats:
Typical topcoats include alkyds, lacquer, urethanes, or epoxies. Each service environment may require a specific coating system or combination of Anchor products. Consult your Anchor representative for specific job recommendations.
 
Surface Preparation:
For maximum performance, the recommended substrate should be blasted in accordance with SSPC-SP7. If blast cleaning is not feasible, the substrate should be degreased in accordance with SSPC-SP1. All burrs should be removed and sharp edges or rough weld seams should be ground down. Full use should then be made of mechanical power tools, in conjunction with wire brushing and chipping to remove all loose rust and mill scale to a standard of cleanliness conforming to SSPC-SP2 or SP-3.
