Surface Preparation:
New Galvanize: Must be dry. Clean all oil, grease, or other contaminants in accordance with SSPC-SP1 standards. For maximum performance and when feasible, if spangle is present it is recommended to brush blast to gray galvanize or etch with hydrochloric acid until weathered gray appearance is reached. Follow with clear water rinse until surface is free of blast or etch residue. Note: when blasting or etching use caution to avoid removing excess zinc metal. Existing Towers: Must be dry. Spot prime all rusted areas and remove any contaminants including chalk, dirt, grease, failing paint, etc. Prior to application, prepare substrate in accordance with SSPC-SP1 standards. On unpainted surfaces, clean contaminants such as dirt, white Zinc oxide, etc. and spot prime rusted areas.
