(Subjected to reinspection after exceeding shelf life period)
Application Method
Brush, compressed air spray and airless spray. Preferably use airless spray if a thicker coat is
required in one application. Brush and compressed air spray generally lead to lower film
thickness, so more applications may be required to obtain the recommended thickness per
coat. For touching up small areas brush can be used. Roller is not recommended for
application. When airless spray is being used, excessive high tip spraying pressure should be
avoided. The minimum pressure at the pump conducive with good atomisation should be
used. Brush and roller are recommended for small areas and touch-up only. Good quality
brushes and mohair/ short nap rollers should be used with full strokes. Avoid rebrushing.
Additional coats may be required to achieve minimum specified film thickness.

For thinning, substitute thinners other than those approved or supplied by Nippon Paint may
adversely affect the product performance and void product warranty whether expressed or
implied.
Drying time will become remarkably delayed under low temperature. Overcoating the
previous coat of Nippon Zinc Rich Primer HS should be done within 6 ~ 7 days but preferably
as soon as possible after it has been allowed 16 hours drying or else, it is desirable to
roughen it by dry sanding with sandpaper before it is overcoated. This is to ensure proper
intercoat adhesion.
Exposure of the paint film to water, chemical and abrasion should be avoided as far as
possible before full cure of the coating. When chalking occurs, chalks should be removed by
water washing. Allow the surface to dry thoroughly prior to overcoating.

Surface Preparation
The surface to be painted should be abrasive blasted to minimum Sa 2½ ISO 8501-1:2007. It is important that the standard
should be maintained until the paint is applied on. If rust bloom begins to form before the steel surface is coated, it will be
necessary to reblast the steel. The surface must be dry and free from abrasive residues and other contaminants before the
paint is applied.
Cleaning
Cleaning Solvent : SA-65 Thinner. Clean up equipment with thinner immediately after use.
Environmental Conditions During Application

• Do not apply when the relative humidity exceeds 85% or when the surface to be coated is less than 3 C above the dew
point.
• Do not apply at temperature below 7℃. If not, drying and overcoating times will be considerably extended.
• During application of the paint, naked flame, welding operations and smoking should not be allowed and good
ventilation is necessary.
Safety Precautions
• Keep container tightly closed and keep out of reach children or away from food and drink.
• Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
• During application of paint, naked flames, welding operation, and smoking should not be allowed.
• When applying paint, it is advisable to wear eye protection.
P a g e 2|3
• In case of contact with eye, rinse with plenty of water immediately and seek medical advice.
• Remove splashes from skin by using soap or water.
• Paint must always be stored in a cool place.
• When transporting paint, care must be taken. Always keep container in a secure upright position.
• Dispose off any paint waste in accordance with the appropriate Environment Quality Regulations.
Note
* Theoretical Coverage is based on a mathematical formula and does not consider Loss Factor.

This theoretical coverage rate has been calculated from the volume solids of the material and is related to the amount of
coating applied onto a perfectly smooth surface without wastage. For a practical coverage rate, due allowance should be
made for atmospheric conditions, surface roughness, geometry of the article being coated, the skill of applicator, method
of application etc. when estimating quantities required for a particular job.
The above information is given to the best of our knowledge based on laboratory tests and practical experience.
However, since we cannot anticipate or control the many conditions under which our products may be used, we can only
guarantee the quality of the product itself.
We reserve the right to alter the given without prior notice.
