SURFACE PREPARATION___________________
Steel – Surface must be clean and free of grease, dirt, oil, rust
fingerprints, and other contaminants to insure optimum adhesion
and performance properties. Chemical pretreatment, zinc
phosphate or CM0484684 Wash primer gives best adhesion and
performance results. Where blasting is appropriate, blast in
accordance with SSPC-SP6. For optimum adhesion pretreat
blasted surface immediately. Prime with wash primer
CM0484684 within two hours after blasting.

Aluminum – Clean with acidic cleaner or other appropriate

cleaner depending on contamination. Pretreat with chromate
conversion coating, wash primer CM0484684, or anodize per
MIL-A-8625. Galvanized and other metals: Clean and remove
oxidation contamination on surface, followed by treatment with
CM0484684 wash primer. Due to the variability in these
surfaces, testing adhesion on each situation is recommended.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-shake the primer for 5-10 minutes.

No reduction is required. If desired, reduce up to 10% with

CM0110944.
