Owatrol GLV Marine Aluminium Paint

Description

Owatrol GLV Marine Aluminium Paint is a highly flexible, anti-corrosive, weather-resistant coating with a high gloss finish that is widely used for coating cargo holds. Deeply penetrative, the finish will not peel or flake and will even adhere well to clean, bright steel. Owatrol GLV Marine Aluminium Paint will rejuvenate rusted and corroded surfaces and provide lasting protection, prolonging the life of the treated surface.

With outstanding weather-resistance and abrasion-resistance, it is perfect for aggressive climatic conditions. Originally developed for the shipping industry Owatrol GLV became a favourite cargo hold coating; carrying approval for the carriage of grain. It can withstand temperatures up to 175°C once cured and offers excellent light and heat reflecting properties.

Ideal Uses

• Coating aluminium, steel and galvanised surfaces above the waterline
• Protecting already rusted tanks and machinery
• Resisting damage in aggressive climatic conditions
• Resisting weathering effects on pipes and pumps
• Providing long lasting protection against corrosion for new steelwork

Preparation

• Ensure all surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from any possible contaminants such as oil, grease and dirt.
• Remove all scale; loose and flaking rust and old paint back to a sound surface and edge and feather in any sharp edges.
• Wash any surfaces exposed to chemicals (acids, alkali or salt deposits) using copious amounts of water, or steam clean these surfaces.
• Clean any severely contaminated surfaces using an appropriate solvent.

Application

• Stir or shake the can well before and during use. Do not thin.
• Applying to new steel & aluminimum – Prime new steel with 1 coat of Marine Oil and allow to dry for 24 hours. Then apply 1 coat of Owatrol GLV. For new steel or aluminium that will be subject to aggressive climatic conditions a 2nd coat is advisable.
• Applying to clean, lightly rusted or new unpainted rusty steel – Apply 2 coats of Owatrol ALU allowing drying time between coats.
• Applying to old or severely rusted surfaces – Apply wet on wet applications of Marine Oil until the rust is fully saturated and allow to dry. Saturation is indicated by a uniform glossy appearance to the surface when the Marine Oil is dry. Next apply 2 coats of Owatrol GLV allowing drying time between coats.
• Applying to previously coated surfaces – Spot prime all exposed metal with Marine Oil or 1 coat of Owatrol GLV depending on the severity of the rust and allow to dry. Next apply 2 coats of Owatrol GLV over the entire area; allowing drying time between coats.

Caution

• Cover everything you do not wish to paint
• Apply between 5°C and 35°C
• Do not apply in direct sunlight or on to hot surfaces
