RD-Monoguard SG

USE:

Fast drying Primer/Finish high performance anti-corrosion coating with universal adherence.

FEATURES:

Single component water-based coating based on a special blend of innovative resins for the protection of metal surfaces, objects and engineered structures against corrosion and weathering. RD-Monoguard is a DTM (Direct-To-Metal) type of coating that can be applied directly to various ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its special formulation and ingredients offer incredible durability when it comes to protecting steel against corrosion, even without priorly blasting the surface.

Virtually odour free, it does not affect neighbouring occupants and can therefore be used in occupied buildings.

RD-Monoguard is UV resistant and its film forms a neat and tidy enamel type of finish.
Tested to be used in the most severe environments, RD-Monoguard protects valuable assets worldwide 24/7 including bridges, tanks, etc.

RD-Monoguard is part of the SCS – Single Coating System – product group.

APPLICATION CONDITIONS:

Ambient temperature: minimum 5° C (41°F) – Optimal between 12° and 25°C (54° and 77°F).
Relative humidity: maximum 80 %
Surface temperature must be minimum 3°C (5°F) above dew point.

APPLICATION MEANS:

Brush, roller or airless (nozzle size: 010–012)
Application by airless is recommended and makes it easier to reach the recommended thicknesses. Use a device that allows a minimum pressure of 70-150 bar / 1000 – 2000 psi at the outlet.

PREPARATION OF THE SUBSTRATE:

The substrate must be clean: dry, degreased and dust free. Non adhering elements such as older coatings or rust must be removed. Different type of surface preparation are possible:

1/ Remove rust manually or by power tool to ST2 – ISO 8501-1/SSPC SP2 or SP3.
2/ Blasting to SA 2½ – ISO 8501-1/NACE3/SSPC SP6.
3/ High pressure washing following SSPC SP12 WJ4.

Aluminum: clean with sulfuric acid diluted to 10%.

On new galvanized steel: preferably clean with RD-Eco PowerClean detergent diluted with water or use a conventional detergent.

Stainless steel: preferably clean with RD-Eco PowerClean detergent diluted with water or use a conventional detergent.

Copper: clean with hydrochloric acid diluted to 10% and rinse with water.

DILUTION:

Product is ready-for-use. Dilute with maximum 3% water when applying by airless or in warm weather conditions (> 25°C / > 77°F).

DRYING TIME (20°C – 68°F):

Touch dry: +/- 1 hour depending on thickness
Recoatable: +/- 2 hours depending on film thickness

Possible to apply wet on wet in special conditions.

CLEANING OF TOOLS:

Water

SPECIFICITIES:
