SURFACE PREPARATION: -
- Remove rust, loose scales and foreign particles by wire-brushing, scraping, etc. brush tends to harden; it should be thoroughly washed with water. No oil or paint contaminated brush should be used for applying TT Primabit WB
- In summer, if the rails are very hot causing difficulties in uniform brushing, it would be advisable to cool the primed rails with water. The excess water must be removed before application since TT Prima Bit -WB adheres to damp surfaces.
MATERIAL PREPARATION:
Stir TT Primabit - WB with a slow speed mixture (approx. 400 rpm) fitted with a suitable mixing paddle to ensure a homogenous mix. After stirring, wait for the product to settle in order to let entrapped air escape.
APPLICATION
- Prime the surface with one coat of TT Primabit - WB to seal the formation of rust and prevent it. Lightly rub down the surface, if glossy.
- Apply the first coat of TT Primabit - WB at the rate of about 0.4 kg/m2 on dried primed surface. Allow this coat of emulsion to dry for a minimum of 6 hr.
- Apply second coat and allow another 6 hours for drying.
- Apply third and final coat of TT Primabit - WB over the first two. This top coat provides maximum resistance to abrasion from ballast, sand and gives extended protection to the primer coat and interior coats of TT Primabit – WB.
- Repair damaged due to handling, if any, before the top coat and apply, during top coat, athicker coat of TT Primabit
