Your ultimate defence against corrosion. Follow our expert guidelines to ensure long-lasting protection for every surface.

Exterior Mild Steel

Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are degreased and free of contamination using Protective Paints A925 – Metal degreaser (follow instructions as per data sheet). Ensure surfaces are free from preparation debris and are clean and dry. Apply 1st coat within 4 hours of abrasive blasting. Practical coverage is project dependent. All data sheets can be found at the back of this manual.
