About Tikkurila Temaprime EE Fast Dry Primer
Tikkurila Temaprime EE is a high performance anti-corrosion primer for steel, aluminium and zinc surfaces. It can also be used without any topcoat for steel surfaces in dry indoor areas.
A fast drying, one-component anti-corrosive special primer.
Used on surfaces where especially good anti-corrosive properties are required.
Adheres extremely well steel, aluminium and zinc.
Fast drying for rapid over coating.
Ideal for the interior and exterior surfaces of ships above waterline, storage tank exteriors, agricultural machinery and other surfaces where especially good adhesion and anticorrosive properties are required.
Minimum damage from burning, welding and flame cutting.
Preparation
Surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free from any material such as oil, grease, salts and dirt that might affect adhesion.
Remove loose flaking or friable material.
Where necessary, remove weld spatter and grind smooth all rough,sharp edges and weld seams.
Galvanised steel
Thoroughly degrease with Cleaner Degreaser (Product Reference H30 or ND14) and lightly abrade any very shiny areas.
Mild Steel
Degrease with a Cleaner Degreaser (Product Reference H30 or ND14) and either manually abrade or blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007)
If blast cleaning is not possible, phosphating is recommended for cold rolled steel to improve adhesion.
Phosphate Steel
Degrease with Cleaner Degreaser (Product Reference H30 or ND14) and manually abrade prior to application of the Primer Coat
Stainless Steel
Degrease with Cleaner Degreaser (Product Reference H30 or ND14) and manually abrade.
Aluminium and Alloys
Degrease with Cleaner Degreaser (Product Reference H30 or ND14) and manually abrade.
The temperature of the ambient air, surface or paint should not fall below 5ºC during application or drying.
Application Conditions
Relative humidity should not exceed 80%.
The surface temperature of the steel should remain at least 3ºC above the dew point.
Cold damp conditions will impair drying times and the final finish.
