SURFACE New steel: Abrasive blasting to minimum Sa 2 or mechanical cleaning to minimum St 3.

PREPARATION: For temporary protection, if required, use a suitable shopprimer. All damage of shopprimer and
contamination from storage and fabrication should be thoroughly cleaned prior to final painting.
For repair and touch-up use HEMPEL’S RED OXIDE PRIMER 12070.
Repair and maintenance: Remove oil and grease, etc. with suitable detergent. Remove salt and
other contaminants by (high pressure) fresh water cleaning. Remove all rust and loose material by
abrasive blasting, power tool cleaning or water jetting. Dust off residues and allow the surface to
dry. Touch up to full film thickness.

APPLICATION As dictated by normal good painting practice.

CONDITIONS: In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

REMARKS:
Recoating: The maximum recoating interval of 7 days at 20°C/68°F applies for exterior steel surfaces directly
exposed to mildly corrosive environments. If the recoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the
surface is necessary to ensure intercoat adhesion.
For milder conditions and interior surfaces, no maximum recoating interval applies.
Before recoating after exposure in contaminated environment, clean the surface thoroughly by high
pressure fresh water hosing and allow to dry.
Note: HEMPEL’S RED OXIDE PRIMER 12070 is for professional use only.
