• Rusty metal should be cleaned by blasting or other means to
a suitable standard then primed with a Rust Converter. Other
metals should be suitably primed or treated, e.g. for new
galvanising, degreasing, etch or roughen surface
before coating.
Application
• SolarTAC may be applied directly to all common building
substrates, i.e. concrete, render, aluminium, steel, plaster, sheet,
masonry, brick. Some priming may be required depending on
the substrate condition. (Please refer to our expertise.)
• Apply two or more coats to obtain recommended total
thickness by brush, roller, spread bar or air less spray gun. Ideal
application temperature is between 10 - 30°C and relative
humidity 30 - 80% in rapid drying conditions. Mask large areas
into smaller zones to help obtain an even application
and appearance.
• Rinse brushes, ect. frequently in water to prevent drying/
clogging keep containers closed to minimise skin formation.
• In fast drying weather conditions, adhesion to unsealed
absorbent or porous surfaces is significantly improved by
Davco Primer.
