Any wood and metal surfaces used for outdoor decoration in hot, cold, damp conditions need additional protection. Perchlorovinyl enamel "XB 124" is intended for this very purpose. Due to the formation of a barrier layer on the base, it increases the service life of the coating and its strength, and also performs a decorative function. The useful properties of this product make it possible to use it not only in construction, but also in other areas.

Distinctive properties

The basis of the material is polyvinyl chloride chlorinated resin, which is supplemented with alkyd compounds, organic solvents, fillers and plasticizers. When added to the mixture of coloring pigments, a suspension of a certain shade is obtained, the technical characteristics of which correspond to world quality standards.

The main important properties of the paint:

  • the ability to withstand large amplitudes of critical temperatures;
  • resistance to any kind of metal corrosion (chemical, physical and electrochemical interaction with the environment);
  • fire resistance and moisture resistance, immunity to the aggressive effects of oils, detergents, household cleaning products, gasoline;
  • plastic, moderately viscous structure, providing good adhesion;
  • preventing the emergence and spread of rust;
  • durability and the ability to optimally fulfill the decorating task.

The enamel dries completely in about 24 hours. For strong thickening, different types of solvents are used.

To protect coatings from temperature extremes and corrosion, enamel is applied to wood and reinforced concrete. Metal works are carried out after the necessary priming. The painted surfaces are kept in cold conditions for at least 4 years. When exposed to high temperatures and intense ultraviolet radiation - up to 3 years. The tree does not need to be primed before use, the enamel is applied to it immediately. Three layers are enough for 6 years of successful operation.

Basic colors of enamel: gray, black, protective. Also available in blue and green.

Application

You can apply paint to a metal surface with a brush or roller, but it is preferable to work with a pneumatic device. Airless spraying is better suited for large areas to be treated. The electrical equipment provides a better design. For such a supply of paint, it must be diluted as much as possible with the solvent "RFG" or "R-4A".

The preparatory phase includes several main points:

  • Thorough cleaning of metal from dirt, dust, oils, scale and rust is required. The indicator is the characteristic gloss of the surface, the evenly distributed roughness of the material, in places with scale the color of the base may be darker.
  • After cleaning, completely dust and degrease the coating. To do this, wipe it with a rag dipped in white spirit.
  • Check for greasy stains by wiping with special filter paper based on cellulose, fibrous substances and asbestos (it must not be left with traces of oil).
  • It is permissible to use abrasive, sandblasting for cleaning. In this way, even the smallest particles of rust can be removed from the metal.
  • In the presence of individual contaminants, they are removed and degreased locally.
  • Then you should carry out the primer with the compositions "VL", "AK" or "FL".The surface should dry completely.

Immediately before painting, the solution is stirred until a homogeneous mass is formed and the first layer is applied to a dry primer. Initial drying lasts no more than 3 hours, after which the next layer can be applied.

The three-layer coating is mainly made for temperate climates., four layers are for the tropical zone. If it is necessary to protect the metal in cold conditions, it will be necessary to paint three layers of paint on the primer "AK-70" or "VL-02". The time interval between coats is at least 30 minutes.

When staining, it is important to observe the precautions:

  • ensure the availability of maximum ventilation in the room;
  • do not allow the application of enamel near sources of ignition;
  • it is advisable to protect the body with a special protective suit, hands - with gloves, and the face - with a gas mask, since getting paint on the mucous membrane of the eyes and in the respiratory tract is dangerous to health;
  • if the solution still gets on the skin, you need to urgently rinse it with plenty of soapy water.

The wood is painted in a similar way, but does not require a preliminary primer.

Product consumption per square meter

In many ways, this indicator depends on the thickness of the solution. On average, about 130 grams of paint is required for one meter of area if using a pneumatic device. In this case, the viscosity of the mixture should be less than when using a roller or brush. In the latter case, the consumption per 1 m2 is about 130-170 grams.

The amount of material spent is influenced by the temperature regime of the room and moderate humidity. These parameters are especially important in the vicinity of the treated coatings. The consumption of the coloring solution also depends on the number of layers applied, which depend on climatic conditions.

To get the most durable protective coating, you should take into account the optimal temperature for work (from -10 to +30 degrees), the percentage of humidity in the room (no more than 80%), the viscosity of the solution (35-60).

Scope of application

Due to its protective properties in adverse weather conditions, fire resistance, moisture resistance, frost resistance and anti-corrosion enamel "XB 124" can be used in different areas of production:

  • for repair and construction in the construction of private buildings, to maintain the strength of wooden facades;
  • in the engineering industry;
  • in instrument making for various purposes;
  • for the processing of reinforced concrete, steel structures, bridges and production workshops;
  • in the military industry to protect the surface of equipment and other objects from corrosion, sunlight, cold.

Enamel "XB 124" is extremely in demand in the construction of residential and industrial complexes in the Far North, where its frost-resistant qualities are highly appreciated, which make it possible to strengthen the outer walls in low temperatures.

Also, the paint is used for decorative painting of any metal structures. For wood, the dye can be used additionally as an antiseptic for the prevention of fungus and mold.

The official document on the quality of building material is GOST No. 10144-89. It sets out the main characteristics of the product, rules of application and maximum permissible ratios of components.
