Technical characteristics of primer-enamel for rust 3 in 1

Tips and tricks for proper paint dilution

There are a huge number of paints and varnishes, but only some of their representatives are used to paint a car:

All of them differ from each other in performance characteristics, but at the same time they are effectively used by car owners. For a 100% high-quality result, these products are diluted with solvents. What solvent should you use to dilute car paint?

Acrylic paints

This is a two-component liquid, which contains a thinner and a hardener. The desired color is achieved by applying a certain number of layers of material.

For acrylic paints, a specialized automotive solvent is used, which is more expensive than conventional organic solvents (646, 647), but it is worth it. If such a product could not be found, then you can use its analogue - solvent 651 or P 12.

Alkyd paints

Such products are rarely used for painting car bodies, only because they require a more careful approach. The resulting surface should be varnished and polished, but the finished products are distinguished by high performance characteristics and good appearance. The coating prevents the formation of corrosion and performs well in adverse conditions.

For dissolution, white spirit, gasoline, solvent, turpentine and its mixtures are used. There is a universal solvent P 4, but it is better to choose according to the product labeling.

Nitro enamels

They have a mirror effect, for which they have received wide appreciation from car enthusiasts. The body, painted with nitro enamel, differs from other cars in its gloss and metallic sheen. The only significant drawback is toxic fumes during painting work, which are harmful to human health.

Before application, the body surface must be perfectly cleaned and prepared for painting. Nitroenamel dries quickly and lasts quite a long time. It is diluted with organic products, for example, transparent 646.

Advice. This solvent is highly flammable and belongs to the category of aggressive solvents, so it must be handled with extreme caution. To play it safe, you can use the universal product P 4.

Water-based paints

This type of paint is considered the most suitable for painting a car, although it requires expensive equipment to achieve maximum effect. Such products are environmentally friendly and have a number of advantages:

The only negative is the long drying time. Water-based paints are dissolved with plain water or alcohol.

How long does it take for rust primer to dry?

These figures may vary from one manufacturer to another. It all depends on special additives and ingredients contained in the soil. Drying of the first layer to tack at 200C and standard humidity takes approximately half an hour. It takes an hour or two for complete drying, then you can reapply the primer.

Composition and technical characteristics

The 3 in 1 rust composition is fundamentally different from multilayer protective coatings, which require separate application of the primer layer and the coating itself. The ability to provide high-quality anti-corrosion coating in one layer is due to the characteristics of the primer-enamel.

The ability to form strong and wear-resistant anti-corrosion coatings without pre-treatment is endowed with the presence of the following ingredients in their composition:

• alkyd-urethane varnish.
  This component acts as a binder and is a quick-drying composition of alkyd resin and urethane additives;
• anti-corrosion components.
  These substances can be divided into two groups: some prevent the appearance of rust, others help neutralize existing corrosion defects using a phosphate film;
• enamels.
  This component is intended to give the coating high aesthetic properties and weather resistance;
• plasticizers and other additives.
  With the help of these components, manufacturers of primer enamels impart elasticity and strength to the composition;
• solvent.
  The solvent included in the composition allows you to obtain the optimal consistency of the mixture. If the composition thickens, you can achieve the required viscosity using a solvent or white spirit.

Interesting.

Each manufacturer of primer enamel may use its own plasticizers and additives, so the technical characteristics of the compositions may vary slightly.

Specifications

Despite some minor differences between different brands of enamel, it is possible to highlight their main properties that are common to all manufacturers.

How to choose the right primer enamel for metal with rust three in one

Types of primers for metal:

• Insulating. One of the main advantages is heat resistance. Made from red lead. The primer creates a layer on the surface to be painted that prevents the destruction and oxidation of metal structures located in a humid environment;
• Passivating. Anti-corrosion ingredients prevent oxidative processes, reliably protecting the metal from corrosion. Suitable for painting structures that are constantly in water;
• Converter. Prevents oxidation, protects against corrosion, and partially restores damaged metal base. The composition includes orthophosphoric acid;
• Phosphating 2-component. The composition combines passivating and transformative properties. It is characterized by low consumption, special adhesive characteristics, even covers galvanized surfaces;
• Tread. The main difference is the addition of tiny metal particles, which, when painted, create a film with the effect of a metal structure.

Anti-corrosion ingredients prevent oxidative processes, reliably protecting the metal from corrosion.

Dali ruler

Rogneda Group of Companies produces two types of primer enamels for rust: smooth and with a hammer effect. The latter can be used even on rough surfaces, as it effectively covers minor defects.

In order to obtain a pronounced hammer embossing relief, the enamel should not be greatly diluted. To create a large pattern, the primer is applied with a brush, for a medium one - with a roller, for a small one - with a sprayer.

The artistic palette of hammer paint includes 9 shades:

• chocolate;
• brown;
• bronze;
• golden;
• copper;
• black;
• grey;
• silver;
• green.

Dali's smooth primer-enamel has a larger color spectrum. The palette includes not only traditional colors, but also original colors.

There are a total of 15 shades of smooth paint:

• black;
• white;
• Ivory;
• grey;
• silver aluminum;
• green moss;
• green;
• blue;
• ultramarine;
• water blue;
• brown;
• red-brown;
• red;
• wine red;
• yellow.

DALI - what is this brand?

The compositions are produced at the modern high-tech Russian enterprise “NPP Rogneda” (Moscow), which has been successfully producing materials for construction and repair since 1992. Dali paint is confidently used in solving any finishing tasks due to the following qualities:

• Has good painting properties. Does not leave smudges or splashes, does not drip from the instrument;
• Has a high degree of hiding power at relatively low consumption;
• Non-toxic;
• Resistant to direct sunlight;
• Frost-resistant;
• Has breathable properties;
• No pungent odor;
• Does not turn yellow or fade over time;
• Does not chalk;
• Quick drying. Dries in 2 hours, acquires final characteristics after 24 hours - 7 days;
• The durability of the coating is 10 years, outdoors from 8-10 years;
• Acceptable price.

The compositions are applied with a brush, roller or spray.

Dali's paints are distinguished by high quality indicators.

Features of metallic paint dilution

Metallic is considered a complex paintwork and requires precise application technology. The product is widely used for painting vehicles (cars and motorcycles). The surface has a metallic reflective sheen. This effect is explained by the presence of special aluminum powder in the material. The finished coating is not affected by corrosion, and the result will please the eye for a long time. However, mechanical stress and disruption of the integrity of the coating will ultimately lead to its destruction. The paint does not fade under the influence of ultraviolet rays of the sun.

The quality of the coating depends on the degree of viscosity of the material, so the solvent for such paint is carefully selected. A product that is too thick can harm the result because it will not be able to completely fill the rough surface of the car body. Modern metallic paints and varnishes are diluted directly by the manufacturer and are ready for application. The cost of such materials is much higher than others, however, the quality of the coating will amaze with its splendor and beauty.
