Zinc Guard™ Epoxy Enamelperforms most effectively when used as a top coat on Dy-Mark Zinc Guard™ Primers.

Suitable Surfaces:
Pre-painted metal surfaces, steel, wrought iron, galvanised iron and non-ferrous metals such as; aluminium, alloys, ZINCALUME® and stainless steel.

Ideal Application Temperature:
Between 10°C and 40°C. Avoid use in windyconditions.

Preparation:
Surface should be clean, dry and free from contaminants such as rust, oil, grease, dirt and salt. Wipe surface with Mineral Turps or Dy-Mark General Purpose Thinner.Thoroughly sand new metal and lightly sand previously painted surfaces to ensure maximum adhesion. Remove loose rust and flaking pain with a wire brush, scraper or mechanical sander.

For best results, always remove rust back to bare metal. For superior protection and adhesion on mild steel surfaces it is recommended to prime with the appropriate Dy-Mark Zinc Guard™ Metal Primer and allowing it to dry for 1 hour before applying Dy-Mark Zinc Guard™ Epoxy Enamel. For non-ferrous metals such as aluminium and alloys, ZINCALUME®and stainless steel, use Dy-Mark Zinc Guard™ Etch Primer.

Application: (Colour of cap is indicativeonly)
Before spraying, cover surrounding areas to protect from overspray. Shake can at least 45 seconds AFTER the mixing ball begins to rattle. Shake can occasionally during use. Hold the can upright approximately 20-25cm from the surface. Spray with a smooth sweeping motion. To prevent paint from sagging, apply several light mist coats rather than one heavy coat. Adjust nozzle to achieve desired spray pattern. Use horizontal setting to spray up and down and the vertical setting to spray across.

Coverage:
Approximately 1.9m2per can (depending on the surface and amount of overspray).

Drying Time:
Touch dry in 6 hours (25°C.). Recoatafter 16 hours. Hard dry in 16-24 hours. Drying will be slower in cold and humid conditions, in the absence of ventilation or where heavy film build is applied.

After Spraying:
Prevent blocking by holding the can upside down and spraying until only clear gas escapes. Also wipe spray tip of nozzle clean. Clean up wet paint with Mineral Turps or Dy-Mark Xylene.
