LACK– UND KUNSTSTOFF– CHEMIE GMBH

Protective coating for hot-dip galvanised steel structures

waterborne

FIELDS OF Protective coating for hot-dip galvanised steel structures. The material
APPLICATION is specially adjusted for application in the shop with a dry film thickness
of approximately 120 µm.

GEHOTEX-W8 is usually applied as one-layer-system directly on the

hot-dip galvanised surfaces.

PRODUCT PROPERTIES Base: Acrylic resin copolymerisate, waterborne.

The material is optimally adjusted for coating in the shop respectively on
automated plants. Application by airless-spraying. On smaller areas
brush application is also possible.

Due to the optimal composition of binder and pigments it is possible to

achieve a perfect adhesion directly on hot-dip galvanised steel surfaces
as well as an excellent corrosion protection.

Temperature resistance: up to 80 °C (thermoplastic)

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR APPLICATION

Surface preparation Hot-dip galvanised steel parts:

Dry and clean surfaces are essential for excellent adhesion of the
coating materials. Besides contaminants like grease, oil, dust, etc.
especially zinc salts (zinc corrosion products) have to be removed
totally.

Air and surface Optimal results at temperatures of 15 to 25 °C, not below 10 °C

temperature

Relative humidity Max. 80 % relative humidity

The surface temperature of the parts to be coated must be at least 3 °C

above the dew point of the surrounding air throughout the application.
(see basic specification for corrosion protection DIN EN ISO 12944-7)

Comments on processing
