METALFIX 1000
is a single pack water-based primer which is designed for application
onto non-rusted surfaces, such as new or clean steelwork, new
or weathered aluminium, new or weathered galvanised steel, plastic,
timber, etc, to form a non-toxic film. The coating is the “twin
sister” to METALFIX, which is designed mainly
for application over well-rusted steel. The METALFIX
1000 does have a slight rust converting action, and
can be used over lightly rusted steel work (e.g, new steel bearing
a “rust bloom”) where it cures into a tough abrasion-resistant
skin which is impervious to further rusting. The coating will
operate from minus 40 degrees Centigrade to upto 1000 degrees
Centigrade, and, if required, may be overcoated with any other
top coat, whether oil or water based.
| SPECIAL FEATURES: |
| |
- Gives off no fumes
- Easy to spray or brush
- Goes over wide range of surfaces
- Gives stable surface plus tough paint skin
- Can take any top coat, if required
- Quick overcoating times.
|
|
- Water wash up (no solvents)
- Etch-primer for Zinc and Aluminium
- Non-toxic in the dry state
- Fire-retardant properties
- Single pack (no wasted mixes)
- Can be mixed with cement powder
(to repair damage to tanks, pools etc)

| HOW TO USE METALFIX
1000: |
| |
| Remove
any flaking material from the surface using a
hand wire brush, remove any oil or grease contamination
with undiluted Phoenix “FLOORPREP”, and wash the
surface with a 10% FLOORPREP solution. Rinse off
with clean water and allow to dry. Apply the
METALFIX 1000 by brush, roller, or spray
(airless or conventional). When spraying, reduce
the yield stress in the paint by stirring with
a high speed stirrer (e.g, a mixing blade in an
electric drill) which lowers the viscosity to
that of a conventional paint.
If the paint is cold, warm to at least 25 degrees
Centigrade by immersing the container in hot water
and stirring occasionally. Use large tip size
and try to avoid adding water, although this may
be added sparingly (e.g, 2 - 3%) to improve the
paint flow. For surfaces which exhibit both severe
and light rusting, after the preparation outlined
above, apply the METALFIX over
the areas of severe rust, and after allowing the
paint to fully dry and cure, apply a coat of METALFIX
1000 over the entire surface. |
