Performing construction and repair work, I would like to hope that the result will be of high quality and durable. And how attractive the finish will be depends to a large extent on the quality of the preparatory work performed. In particular - from the applied primer layer. Therefore, it is so important to choose the tool that best meets all the requirements. In such a situation, you should pay attention to the FL-03K primer. Its technical characteristics are so good that the tool allows you to reliably protect the structure and thereby extend its service life.
Key Features
Primer FL-03K has a high anti-corrosion property. It is resistant to various atmospheric phenomena (snow, sun, rain, and so on). It is allowed to use the product in a wide temperature range (from minus 60 to plus 100 degrees). At the same time, sharp drops are not terrible for the treated surface.
Resistant to oil. Not subject to destructivethe action of s alts. Due to this, the soil can be used in shipbuilding.
The composition is brown. After application and drying, a homogeneous matte film is formed on the surface. It takes up to 8 hours to dry. Duration depends on temperature and humidity.
Quality and compliance with the required standards are confirmed by the certificate. Primer FL-03K is approved by the Office of the Federal Service of Rospotrebnadzor. The hygienic conclusion issued in St. Petersburg is valid throughout Russia. It confirms that the product is manufactured in accordance with the developed GOSTs, and its quality complies with sanitary and epidemiological regulations. The presence of a certificate causes even more confidence of buyers in this material and favorably distinguishes it from compositions similar in purpose.
Scope of application
Primer FL-03K (GOST 9109-81) belongs to the epoxy class. It is made from synthetic resins. The composition also includes special additives that speed up the drying process of the product. All this allows the use of a primer to protect metal products from corrosion. It can be ferrous and non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, titanium and their alloys).
The composition can also be used for processing wooden structures, including a variety of lumber boards. Surfaces treated in this way can be further treated with paints (such as FL, PF, AC, and so on).
Expense
Primer FL-03K is applied to the treated surface in several layers. Depending on the method of application, the thickness of each layer is in the range of 15-20 mm. The thickness is also influenced by the viscosity of the composition (degree of dilution) and the condition of the treated surface (for rough surfaces, the layer is thicker). With this in mind, the average consumption is 40-55 grams per square meter of treated surface. Thus, up to 30 square meters of structures can be processed with one liter of soil.
Consumption may increase if the work surface is in a vertical position. After applying the primer in several layers, the use of paint is not necessary. But it is worth noting that it is not recommended to leave the primer without a topcoat for a long time.
Preparatory work
Before applying the primer FL-03K and the surface to be treated must be prepared.
Surface preparation is to clean it from dirt, rust, remnants of the old coating. After that, it must be degreased. If the surface is wooden, it must be sanded and dusted.
Preparation of the composition begins only if its temperature is in the range of 15-25 degrees. Primer FL-03K must be thoroughly mixed throughout the entire volume of the container (until a homogeneous mass is obtained). Next, the product must be mixed with a desiccant (NF-1 linoleate). The amount of desiccant should notexceed 4% of the total volume. The soil is thoroughly mixed. From now on, the shelf life of the composition does not exceed 12 hours (at a temperature of plus 20 degrees).
The last step is to add solvent (if necessary).
Combination with solvents
Before use, it is allowed to dilute the primer FL-03K to the desired consistency. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the amount of solvent added is no more than 20% of the total soil volume.
A mixture of white spirit and xylene is used as a solvent. These substances are combined with each other in equal proportions. It is allowed to use diluent type RE-4V. This option is suitable when the composition is applied by electric spray.
Solvents are also used to clean working tools and containers. It can be xylene or solvent. It is permissible to use their mixture with white spirit.
Apply composition
The use of primer FL-03K is permissible only at an ambient temperature of 5 to 30 degrees and air humidity not more than 85%. In this case, the temperature of the surface itself must be at least 3 degrees above the dew point. In conditions of precipitation, the use of soil is unacceptable.
The primer is applied in several ways:
- Spray in the absence of air through a nozzle with a diameter of 0.28-0.43mm. The primer is sprayed from a distance of 30-50 cm from the surface. In this case, the supply pressure of the composition should not be lower than 13MPa.
- Air Spray.
- Pouring.
- Dipping.
- Roller (brush). This method is suitable in cases where it is necessary to process a small surface area.
The composition is applied in such a way that after drying, there are no unpainted places and areas on the surface, there are no sagging. The primer is applied in several layers. Usually 1-2 is enough.
The surface treated with FL-03 primer can be coated with enamels and paints on various bases (oil, alkyd, bituminous, phenolic). When using other formulations, a compatibility test must first be carried out. This applies to materials based on urethane, epoxy and other bases.
Within six months after applying the primer, the primed surface is allowed to stand without further processing. If the period is longer, before painting the surface must be cleaned of dirt, grease (oil), etc. If necessary, the base is sanded with an abrasive cloth to roughen it.
Storage and transportation
The primer FL-03K is transported in the factory container, hermetically packed. Storage is also allowed only in tightly closed containers. Storage areas should be away from direct sunlight and other sources of high temperatures. The storage location must be dry. The tool retains its properties when stored in a temperature range from minus 40 to plus 40 degrees. If all the conditions are met, it is allowed to store the composition for up to six months.
Safety
As already noted, the FL-03K primer contains epoxy resins and volatile substances. Therefore, the composition belongs to the class of flammable. This leaves its mark on the conditions of use and work with the soil. In the process of working with the substance, it is necessary to observe the established fire safety rules. At the same time, it is necessary to observe the conditions of personal safety, work with the use of personal protective equipment (gloves, respirator).
In the room where the work is done, good ventilation must be provided. In its absence, provide ventilation. Upon completion of work, the room must be thoroughly ventilated (at least 24 hours).
It is forbidden to work with primer FL-03K near open sources of fire, welding and similar sparking devices. Failure to do so may result in fire and fire.
It should be remembered that the primer FL-03K is absolutely safe in dry form. This means that after complete drying of the treated surface, the threat to he alth does not threaten and does not have a harmful effect on the body.
