Surface Preparation
Substrate should be free of grease, oil, dirt, fingerprints, drawing compounds, rust inhibitors, or any other surface contam ination that could affect adhesion. For structural steel applications, Cortec® recommends a minimum of a NACE #3/ SSPC SP6 commercial blast clean. Consult Cortec® Technical Service and/or test system adhesion prior to full scale application.
Note: Make sure dew point is more than 5°F (2°C) less than air temperature for application. Power agitate to a uniform consistency using a “squirrel cage” type mixer, hand-held drill mixer, or other equivalent method. Vp CI®-372E can be applied by spray, roll, brush, or dip.
