Axalta Viterlac Containerguard HS
Axalta Viterlac Containerguard HS is a single pack, modified alkyd primer/finish, specially developed for the transport container market and for Commercial Vehicle Chassis protection.
Best Uses
Axalta Viterlac Containerguard HS provides an excellent one coat system* for Commercial Vehicle Chassis protection.
- Use for dry cargo transport containers, ISO tank containers, anti-vandal accommodation units, waste containers and other industrial steel fabrications
- Low VOC’s to aid UK SED Compliance (340 + 20gm/lt)
- Good early water spotting resistance and good exterior durability
- Fast drying and indefinitely overcoatable for easy repair
- Sheen finish helps disguise dents and welds
- Resistant to splashes of diesel, petrol and hydraulic fluid
*Colours such as yellows, reds and oranges have lower opacity, especially when produced using lead-free pigments. Two or three coats of these shades may be required, relative to only one coat of a grey or red oxide, so that yellows, bright reds and oranges may not be suitable as one coat systems.
Application
All surfaces to be coated should be dry and cleaned as necessary to remove all oil, grease, salts, weld flux or other contamination. Where necessary, remove weld spatter and grind smooth all sharp edges and weld seams. For best performance, blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007), surface profile 50-75 microns. Can also be applied to clean, dry, abraded steel.
Aluminium and Zinc coated surfaces: surfaces should be degreased, abraded and etch primed prior to application of ViterLac Containergard HS. Please consult our technical team for further guidance. ViterLac Containergard HS has been found to be tolerant to a wide range of existing coatings, including chlorinated rubber and vinyl systems which other topcoats may cause to soften or blister. A test area is recommended to ensure compatibility prior to full coating.
Mixing
Must be mixed thoroughly by using a mechanical agitator before use. Agitate periodically to ensure paint remains homogeneous.
Application Methods
- Airless Spray: Output fluid pressure at tip 2500 psi, Tip Size 15-17 thou (0.38-0.43 mm)
- Conventional spray: requires thinning with 1006 Thinner which will increase the VOC content
- Brush should be used for touch up of small areas
Approvals and Certifications
- Tested to BS476 Part 7 (Surface Spread of Flame) - Class 1
