Primer GF-021
Application instructions
The primer is a suspension of pigments and fillers in an alkyd varnish with the addition of solvents, drier and stabilizing substances
General provisions
The technological instruction regulates the technology of applying the one-component primer GF-021 for priming metal surfaces under coatings with various enamels. During the work process, it is possible to adjust the instructions in agreement with the developer of the document.
Surface preparation
The surface of the product should not have burrs, sharp edges (with a radius of less than 2 mm), welding spatter, undercuts from welding, cutting marks, or flux residues.
Degreasing before cleaning
Degrease the surface with: toluene, xylene, ortho-xylene, acetone, R-4, R-5, 646. The degree of degreasing is determined according to GOST 9.402 and must correspond to the first degree (no oil stain on filter paper when tested by the drop method).
The use of white spirit, solvent, and gasoline is prohibited!
Surface cleaning
The surface is cleaned from oxides to degree 2 according to GOST 9.402-2004 (Table 9) or degree Sa 2½ according to ISO 8501-1:2007, i.e. When viewed with the naked eye, scale, rust, burnt marks, molding sand residues and other non-metallic layers should not be detected.
Surface roughness
The roughness of the cleaned surface should be characterized as “fine”, “medium” in accordance with ISO 8503-1. If the roughness is exceeded, an additional layer of material must be applied.
Dust removal
After cleaning, the surface must be dusted with an industrial vacuum cleaner or compressed air free of oil and moisture. Control of the degree of surface dust removal is carried out in accordance with ISO 8502-3. The degree of dust removal should be no worse than the second.
Degreasing after cleaning
If there is oil contamination on the prepared surface, the surface of the product is degreased again with toluene, xylene, ortho-xylene or acetone, R-4, R-5, 646. The surface is degreased using spraying methods immediately before painting. According to the conclusion of the work manager, degreasing may not be performed.
Negative temperature
At subzero temperatures, degreasing after surface preparation must be done with acetone or R-4, R-5.
It is prohibited
use of white spirit, solvent, gasoline!
The time gap between surface preparation and primer application is:
- 6 hours outdoors;
- 24 hours when working indoors.
Prohibited
painting on wet surfaces, ice, snow!
Operating temperature
From minus 45 °C to +60 °C.
Finishing layer
Primer coating GF-021 requires mandatory coating with paints and varnishes:
- polysiloxane paints and varnishes of the Armokot® brand TU 2312-009-23354769-2008;
- organosilicate compositions TU 84-725-78;
- enamels: PF, EF, EP, FL, HV, HS, NTs, KO.
The time for overcoating the primer layer is no more than 24 hours.
Primer preparation
Before use, the primer is mixed in the manufacturer’s container with a pneumatic or electric mixer for at least 5 minutes until the sediment completely disappears and is uniform throughout the entire volume, after which it is kept for about 10 minutes until the bubbles disappear. To obtain a high-quality coating, the temperature of the primer during application should be close to the surface temperature of the product being painted.
Dilution
At positive ambient temperatures, no dilution of the primer is required. If necessary, a solvent (toluene, xylene, ortho-xylene) is added gradually in small portions (0.5% by weight of the primer, followed by stirring) until a positive result is obtained during application.
Negative temperature
Due to the increase in viscosity at negative temperatures, it is recommended to dilute the primer with toluene until a positive result is obtained during application.
Dilution should be carried out gradually, in small portions (based on the weight of the primer):
- at temperatures from 0 °C to minus 10 °C – 1-2%;
The total amount of solvent should not exceed 10%.
Prohibited
use of other thinners!
During breaks in work, the primer should be stored in a tightly closed container; before starting work, it must be mixed with a pneumatic or electric mixer.
Applying primer
Climatic conditions
Ambient temperature:
- spraying methods from minus 10 °C to +35 °C;
- brush, roller from minus 10 °C to +25 °C.
Relative air humidity no more than 80%.
Prohibited
paint during rainfall.
Prohibited
carry out painting by spraying methods at wind speeds of more than 10 m/sec.
The temperature of the surface to be painted should be 3 °C above the dew point.
Airless spray
When airless spraying (AAS), the following must be observed:

- working pressure of the material 80-150 bar;
- Airless Spray Nozzle Diameter inch (mm): 0.013 (0.33); 0.015 (0.38);
- The spray angle is selected depending on the shape of the surface to be painted.
Recommended spray angle 20°, 30°, 40°.
Manual application
When applied manually, depending on the area of the structure to be painted and the configuration, rollers (lint-free, preferably velor) and brushes made of natural fibers of various sizes and shapes are used.
Stripe dyeing
If there are welds, end edges, or hard-to-reach places on the surface, it is necessary to apply a primer in the form of a “strip layer” with a brush before painting the entire surface.
Important!
At the moment of application, an even “wet” film should form on the surface in diameter of the torch imprint, without gaps, smudges, or shagreen.
To avoid visible joints, painting work over large areas must be carried out in one pass and using the same batch of primer.
Coating thickness
The primer is applied in 1-2 layers. The thickness of the single-layer coating GF-021 (on a dry layer) is 15-20 microns. The thickness of the two-layer coating (on a dry layer) is 30-40 microns.
Primer consumption
The consumption of GF-021 primer with a coating thickness (dry layer) of 30 microns is 80 g/m2 (without taking into account technological losses, depending on the application method, degree of spray, equipment used, worker qualifications, surface roughness).
Negative temperature
At negative ambient temperatures, it may be necessary to apply additional layers to achieve the required thickness. Before applying the first coat of primer, apply the pre-coat with a light spray and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Then apply a base coat of primer.
Interlayer drying
The minimum coating holding time before applying the next layer when spraying is not less than:
Application temperature | — 10 °C | 0 °C | +20 °C |
Time, h, no more | 12 | 8 | 4 |
When applying the primer with a roller or brush, the intercoat drying time increases by 2-3 times compared to spraying methods.
Equipment washing
Equipment should be washed with toluene, xylene, acetone, P-4, P-5, 646.
Curing modes
Coating based on primer GF-021 - natural drying (the coating cures at ambient temperature).
Complete drying
The exposure time of the coating based on the GF-021 primer until it reaches optimal properties at 20°C is 24 hours.
Turning
It is allowed to tilt structures (with soft slings) no earlier than 24 hours after applying the layer, in order to prevent scuffing of the coating.
It is not allowed to unload structures by dropping them, or to move them by dragging.
Coating repair
If the coating area is damaged down to the metal, clean it with a hand tool until any possible rust is completely removed, remove dust, degrease and paint the area (with a brush, roller) with GF-021 primer.
Primer storage
The guaranteed shelf life of the GF-021 primer is 6 months from the date of manufacture.
The primer must be stored in a closed container in a dry room, protected from direct exposure to sunlight and moisture at temperatures from minus 10 ° C to +35 ° C.
