Cleaning materials

Application Tools
Roller, Brush, Spray
All preparation and painting must conform to AS2311: The Painting of Buildings.
Do not apply if surface temperature is below 10C, or conditions indicate it will fall below 10C during the drying period.
Do not apply externally when weather is doubtful, or late in afternoon during winter as frost, rain or dew on the uncured primer may result in loss of film integrity and impair durability of the system.
Do not use for priming galvanised iron.
The surface to be primed must be clean, dry and free from rust and millscale. Lightly rusted surfaces should be treated with rust remover and scrubbed down with a wire brush or abrasive paper back to bare metal. Dulux Professional® Red Oxide Metal Primer must be applied as soon as the treated surface is thoroughly dry. If the treated surface is affected by rain or left overnight and exposed to dew, the surface will have to be re-cleaned before applying the primer.
Brush, roller, conventional or airless spray
Stir contents thoroughly with a broad flat stirrer, using an upward lifting action.
Brush/Roller
Brush application is preferred. Apply a full coat. A high film build is desirable and will improve the anti-corrosive properties considerably. If the surface is to be left exposed for some months before top-coating, a second coat of Dulux Professional Red Oxide Metal Primer is recommended after overnight drying. Up to 50ml per litre of mineral turpentine may be added to ease application.
Suitable for application by all standard spray equipment. If necessary thin with Dulux Spraying Thinner up to 30ml per litre for airless and 125ml per litre for conventional spray.
