Coo-Var Anti-Corrosive Red Oxide

Coo-Var Anti-corrosive Red Oxide is a strong alkyd based red oxide product applied direct to the metal surface. It is a general purpose primer and finish in one coat. Coo-Var Anti-corrosive Red Oxide's uses include structural steel, general metalwork, tanks, iron gates or pipes. Can be left as a finish or overcoated at a later date.

Surface Preparation

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease, oil and any other contaminates. Bare steel should be free from dust, rust and scale. Blast cleaning to SA 2½ is recommended. If blast cleaning is impractical, mechanical cleaning should be employed as hand cleaning does not clean the steel to the required degree. Any oil or grease should be removed with Coo-Var Degreaser before de-rusting. Where blast cleaning is carried out after assembly, special attention must be paid to edges, corners, nuts, bolts, welds etc. Welds should, if necessary be ground and all weld spatter, slag etc. must be removed.

Application Conditions

As dictated by normal good painting practice. Care must be taken during application that the temperature is above the dew point to avoid any contamination. In confined spaces, provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.

Preceding Coat

Can be applied directly to prepared iron or steel, for greater protection prime with Coo-Var Zinc Phosphate Primer.

Subsequent Coat

Coo-Var Anti-corrosive Red Oxide or other suitable topcoat.
