Product Profile:
General Description:
This product is a oil based utility primer developed to meet the requirements of an economically priced shop primer.
Common Usage:

Color: Gray (Also available in Red - #CC-1679)
Finish: Low Sheen
 
Coating Systems:
Finish Coats:
Typical topcoats include Anchor #900 series Saf-T-Gard II gloss enamels. Avoid using finish systems cut in any of the stronger solvents such as aromatic or ketone solvents. Each service environment may require a specific coating system or a combination of Anchor products. Consult your Anchor representative for specific job recommendations.
 
Surface Preparation:
The surface must be clean, dry, and free of all dirt, grease, oil, loose paint, rust, or other contaminants. The surface substrate should be cleaned in accordance with SSPC-SP1. All burrs should be removed and sharp edges or rough weld seams ground down. Where weathered steel is evident and where the substrate has reached rust grade, appropriate chemical cleaning or blasting will be necessary.

Application Considerations:
Spray application is recommended, brush and roller are permitted. Apply in wet coats to avoid dusting. When spraying, use a cross-hatch method, overlapping each pass 50%. Clean spray equipment thoroughly before and after each use. On a derusted surface the application of a dry film thickness of at least 2.0 mils is recommended. Due to the high solids of this product, care should be taken to not overbuild the coating. Applying too much will lengthen the dry time and possibly result in "mudcracking" in the film. Note: When scheduling work, allow for adequate time when adverse weather and precipitation is forecast.
