Owatrol CIP Rust inhibiting, penetrating-primer

Owatrol CIP (Corrosive Inhibiting Primer) is a rust inhibiting primer. Suitable for finishing with both single and 2-pack paints and finishes. It contains the anti-corrosive properties of Owatrol Oil which enable it to stabilise the surface. It does this by penetrating deep into the substrate, driving out excess moisture and air to form a solid stable layer.

Direction of use

Surface Preparation

Surfaces must first be clean, dry and free from oil, grease and other surface contaminants. Remove all mill scale; loose and flaking rust and old paint back to a sound surface and edge and feather in any sharp edges. Any surfaces exposed to chemicals (acids, alkalis or salt deposits) should be washed using copious amounts of water or steam cleaned. Severely contaminated surfaces should be cleaned using an appropriate solvent.

How to apply

• Brush
• Roller
• Airless Sprayer (0.4 mm x 80˚ @ 1860-2000psi (128-138 bars))

Stir well before and during use.
Do not thin.

Applying CIP to new surfaces

Prime with 1 coat of Owatrol CIP and allow to dry. For surfaces subject to aggressive climatic conditions apply 2 priming coats.

Applying CIP to clean, lightly rusted or new unpainted rusty steel

Apply 2 coats of Owatrol CIP allowing drying time between coats.

Applying CIP to old or severely rusted surfaces

Either apply 3 coats of Owatrol CIP allowing drying time between coats or apply wet on wet applications of Owatrol Oil until the rust is fully saturated and allow to dry for 24 hours and then apply 2 coats of Owatrol CIP allowing drying time between coats.

Applying CIP to previously coated surfaces

First spot prime all exposed metal with 2 coats of Owatrol CIP allowing drying time between coats and then apply a 3rd coat over the entire area and allow it to dry.

Cleaning

Clean all tools and equipment with white spirit while still wet. If allowed to dry, remove with paint stripper.

NOTE: Any rags, steel wool etc. soaked in CIP may spontaneously catch fire if
improperly discarded. Rags, steel wool etc. must be saturated with water after use or placed in a sealed, water filled metal container, before disposing with household waste.

Things to Remember

• 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.
