One-of-a-kind product, being water-based and single-component, it is an ideal product for protecting metal surfaces durably against corrosion while maintaining the visual appearance of raw or weathered steel. RD-Monoguard Clear is a varnish with above average anti-corrosion properties which can also be applied to many previously painted substrates.
UNIT SIZES:
1 litre, 5 litre and 20 litre.
USES:
Fast drying Primer/Finish high performance anti-corrosion varnish with universal adherence.
FEATURES:
Single component water-based varnish based on a special blend of innovative resins for the protection of metal surfaces, objects and engineered structures against corrosion and weathering. RD-Monoguard Clear is a DTM (Direct-To-Metal) type of coating that can be applied directly to various type of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its special formulation and ingredients offer incredible durability when it comes to protecting steel against corrosion, even without prior blasting the surface.

Different type of surface preparation is possible:
1/ Remove rust manually or by power tool to ST2 ISO 8501-1/SSPC SP2 or SP3.
2/ Blasting to SA 2 – ISO 8501-1/NACE3/SSPC SP6.
3/ High pressure washing following SSPC SP12 WJ4.
DILUTION:
Product is ready-for-use. Dilute with maximum 3% water when applying by airless or in warm weather conditions (> 25C / > 77F).
DRYING TIME (20C – 68F):
Touch dry: +/- 1 hour depending on thickness
Recoatable: +/- 2 hours depending on film thickness
