Recommended Uses

Guard T-Wash is designed for treating galvanised steel before painting. The solution quickly turns the substrate black, providing visible evidence that the surface is ready to be painted. Also known as etch.

 

Application

Application is either by conventional spray or by clean rag / cloth (ensure correct P.P.E is used at all times - contact us for advice).

Thoroughly wet the surface which should turn black in approximately 5 minutes. When black colouration appears stable this should be washed down with clean water. Should this colouration wash off during this process, the application will need repeating.
