International Interstores Alkyd Primer
International Interstores Alkyd Primer is a quick drying single pack primer for maintenance above water areas that is compatible with most substrates. Overcoatable with a wide range of International topcoats.
Best Uses
International Interstores Alkyd Primer is surface tolerant, compatible with most substrates and can be over coated with a wide range of finishes. This single pack primer is suitable for on board maintenance only above water areas.
Application
International Interstores Alkyd Primer should be used in accordance with the standard Worldwide Marine Specifications. All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination. High pressure fresh water wash or fresh water wash, as appropriate, and remove all oil or grease, soluble contaminants and other foreign matter in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.
For Repair / OBM
Prepare the area to be repaired to a minimum of SSPC-SP2. Higher levels of surface preparation by abrasive blasting to SSPC-SP6 or hydroblasting to HB2M (International Paint Hydroblasting Standards), will enhance product performance. Feather or chip back the surrounding area to a sound edge. Ensure that the area is clean and dry prior to application of Interstores Alkyd Primer. Overlap the primer onto existing coatings by approximately 2-3cm.
This material is a one pack coating and should always be mixed thoroughly with a power agitator before application. Apply using airless spray. Use a brush or roller for small awkward areas.
