- Characteristics
- Single-component intumescent fire-protection paint in water dispersion, specifically for application on steel structures up to R90 located in indoor or semi-exposed outdoor environments, even with limited ventilation. F62 PAINT S offers faster, more economical and above all healthier solutions than solvent-based ones. The product can be applied in a single coat in most cases.
- Colour
- Matt white.
- Substrate preparation
- The substrate must be suitably prepared in accordance with the instructions given in the Classification Reports. It is compatible with the main anti-corrosion primers (epoxy/epoxy-polyamide zinc phosphate/alkyd). - On new surfaces with mill scale, prior sandblasting or mechanical brushing is required, followed by the F62 PRIMER S anti-corrosion treatment. - On new surfaces already treated with an anti-corrosion primer, remove any traces of oil/grease or foreign material present. - On surfaces that do not require anti-corrosion protection (galvanised structures), the specific F62 PRIMER Z primer can be used.
- Dilution
- Ready-to-use product; if necessary, dilute with 0 - 5% water.
- Application
- Mix the contents of the container to obtain a homogeneous paste. Protect the structure from strong winds and high temperatures during application. Apply by brush, roller or spray. In the latter case use an Airless pump with Tips from 15 to 17 (larger sizes may be used for large surfaces); Pressure 10 ÷ 20 MPa. For Airless application, remove all filters from the pump and the gun. Store unused material in tightly closed containers. After use, clean tools with water; it is good practice to rinse tools periodically during the day.
- Consumption
- 1,0 kg/m2 equal to 497 micron. In the case of Airless application, allow for 20% waste.
- Application temperature
- Apply at temperatures between + 5°C and + 35°C. If the ambient temperature is below + 5°C, the room must be heated (convector heaters) to keep the temperature above 5°C during application and for the following 24 hours. Ensure adequate ventilation to keep the Relative Humidity below 80%.
- Drying
- The drying time depends on the ambient temperature, the temperature of the steel to be protected, ventilation and air humidity. Average recoating time 24 hours (20°C - r.h. 60%)
- Finish
- F62 PAINT S has a uniform, highly durable finish. It therefore requires no further decorative finishes. For aesthetic reasons it can be overpainted with F62 FINISH, available in various colours, or with acrylic or chlorinated rubber paints. For applications in aggressive industrial environments, or in the presence of high ambient humidity, and to increase its surface resistance characteristics (impact - abrasion), overcoating with two-component polyurethane products is recommended. For information, contact the Technical Department.
- Maintenance
- Periodically check the integrity of the paint film. In the event of damage, clean back to the substrate and restore the protective system in the affected area.
- Packaging and storage
- 25 kg buckets. The product is stable for 1 year if stored in its original containers at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C. Protect from frost. Non-flammable product.
- Warnings
- F62 PAINT S is classified as a Non-Hazardous Product according to Directive 67/548 EEC and subsequent amendments. It is advisable to follow the precautions required for the use of products such as water-based paints or wall plastics (work clothes, gloves, etc.). Do not breathe the mist produced by spraying.
