Steel Substrates
For immersion service or service in humid conditions or elevated temperatures, this product should be applied to surfaces which have been prepared by abrasive blast cleaning to Sa3 (ISO 8501-1:2007), SSPC SP5 or NACE #1. For dry environments, abrasive blast cleaning to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007), SSPC SP10 or NACE #2 will be suitable. A minimum surface profile of 75 microns (3 mils) is required.

Concrete Substrates
Concrete should be well cured prior to application of the flooring, lining or coating system. Refer to the Concrete Surface Preparation Guidelines for more information.
