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.
