SAFETY ORANGE HIGH SOLIDS ENAMEL

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Pruett-Schaffer’s #34-13083 Safety Orange High Solids Enamel is a high gloss, air drying, solvent based alkyd paint. It is designed as a brush, roller, or spray applied, general maintenance and utility coating. It exhibits good flexibility, exterior durability, and fast dry in cold weather.

RECOMMENDED USES

This product is recommended for general maintenance use on storage tanks, machinery, pipes, and other steel equipment wherever a good quality alkyd finish is needed. It exhibits exceptional adhesion to a wide variety of substrates including minimally prepared cold rolled steel, forgings, castings, and existing coatings. This coating is specially recommended for use over rough surfaces or where extensive surface preparation will not be performed, as the alkyd vehicle of this paint will wet out and penetrate surface defects. It is not recommended for immersion service or for areas subject to severe chemical exposure.

SURFACE PREPARATION

This coating is very tolerant of less than perfect surface preparation, so hand tool cleaning may be sufficient for some uses.

At a minimum for acceptable performance, surfaces to be coated must be clean and dry, and free of oil and grease, loose rust and paint, weld spatter, burning slag, dust, and chalk. Feather all rough or sharp edges. Chalky or dusty surfaces should be power washed and allowed to dry completely. For severe service, metal substrates should be blasted to SSPC-SP-6 minimum, with a 1 mil blast profile, and primed with a good quality alkyd primer (such as Pruett-Schaffer #30-12620).

THINNING

Under normal conditions no thinning is necessary. Thin if necessary for spraying with xylol or toluol. Add a little at a time with constant gentle agitation to a maximum of 5% by volume. In ambient temperatures over 85 0F Aromatic 100 or Aromatic 150 may be used if "dry spraying" occurs.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

May be applied by brush, roller, or airless spray. Airless spray gives the best results over large surfaces, use .015-.020 inch tip size. If applying with a cup type spray gun, thinning may improve application. Use a brush or roller for smaller jobs or irregular surfaces; brushes should be of polyester or nylon construction. Apply to 2-4 mils dry film thickness.

DRYING TIME

Dries to recoat in 1 to 2 hours at 77 0F. Dry to light handling in 24 hours. Force drying ovens may be used, allow 30 minutes minimum for flashoff of solvent before heating.

CLEANUP

Clean equipment with xylol or toluol before the film dries.
