Video description

Primer-enamel 3 in 1: the whole truth about durability.

In terms of color, the paint and varnish material is produced according to the main line of the RAL table, although these, of course, are not all of its shades, but only the main ones. Various manufacturers declare the service life of paint without changing the appearance: indoors - from 7 to 10 years, outside - from 5 to 7 years.

Note: it would not be amiss to mention that the 3 in 1 enamel primer is frost-resistant not only in the hardened state, but also in the liquid state, therefore, the paint can be stored at subzero temperatures.

How to make the right choice

On a can of paint of this type there may be some incomprehensible additions in the form of definitions of several words. Based on them, you can choose the most optimal 3-in-1 enamel primer for your situation:

• Converter. If such a word is mentioned in the characteristics, this means that this composition is able to prevent oxidation of the metal, the occurrence of rust, and at the same time restore the base damaged by these processes. The composition includes H₃PO₄ - this is colorless orthophosphoric acid.
• Passivating. Protects metal from oxidation and rust. Thanks to the anti-corrosive properties, structures treated with this paint can remain under water for a long time.
• Phosphating two-component. In this case, components with passivating and transformative properties are combined. Well suited for coating galvanized surfaces.
• Insulating. Promotes thermal and chemical resistance and performs well in aggressive environments.
• Protective. This is a decorative property obtained by adding metal dust. When painted, the surface acquires the characteristic structure of steel.

Most popular manufacturers

DALI produces an effective primer-enamel with a rust converter. It is noteworthy that many claim that this composition is odorless, but this is, to put it mildly, an exaggeration. All paints and varnishes of this kind emit a characteristic smell of a solvent (in this case, it is a solvent), therefore, it is not recommended to work with such paintwork materials in an unventilated area. Due to the covering power of the material, a durable film is formed on the treated surface that can withstand the effects of aggressive environments, ultraviolet irradiation and mechanical stress. DALI enamel has excellent adhesion to glyphthalic and pentaglyphthalic coatings (GF, PF).

Application area

Multicomponent primer-enamel Novbytkhim is allowed to be used for metal objects located indoors or outdoors. They can be either painted or unpainted. The product is ideal for application to rusty surfaces if the corrosion layer does not exceed 100 microns.

The scope of Novbythim is quite wide. It can be painted:

• fences,
• gratings,
• pipes,
• factory and warehouse equipment,
• metal structures of bridges and pipelines,
• car parts and body.

Primer enamel should not be used to cover heated surfaces indoors. If this rule is ignored, a specific unpleasant odor may appear. Objects previously painted with nitro enamel (NC) also fall under the taboo. The nitro paint coated on top with an anti-corrosion primer swells and peels off.

Useful tips

Difficulties that arise when using KUDO aerosol paints arise, as a rule, from inattentively reading the instructions for use or ignoring basic painting rules. The typical errors discussed below and methods for eliminating them allow even a not very prepared user to avoid problems and enjoy the painting process.

Changing Hue

When an aerosol can is stored for a long time, the pigments that give the paint its color tend to settle at the bottom. The mistake consists of shaking the container insufficiently or for a short time. The contents are not mixed to a uniform emulsion, which is why the above problems occur. Solution to the problem: try, according to the instructions, to vigorously shake the container for 2 - 3 minutes.

Valve clogged

After previous use, the aerosol can was not turned over to clear the spray head, resulting in the paint drying out in the spray head channel. Solution to the problem: try to find a new spray head (it is not possible to dissolve the paint that has dried in the head), but it is better not to forget about purging.

The contents of the cylinder do not splash out

The can may be spraying upside down or the deviation from vertical is more than 45°. In this case, the gas - the propellant - escapes from the cylinder without displacing the paint. Solution: return the aerosol can to a vertical position or rotate it at a slight angle along the longitudinal axis of the can.

The storage time is too long and exceeds the shelf life of aerosol packaging. Unfortunately, there is no solution to this problem.

Spray paint does not cover the surface being painted well

The distance to the surface to be painted is incorrect. Most of the paint becomes dusty and does not settle on the surface to be painted.

Solution to the problem: try to choose the optimal distance to the surface under the given painting conditions.

Low ambient temperature.

Solution: Avoid painting in low temperatures, rainy or humid weather.

When painting, the surface becomes covered with a layer of small grains of sand and other foreign inclusions.

Painting occurs outdoors in windy weather or the content of suspended dust in the air is too high. Solution: Try to find a well-ventilated, but not drafty, area to paint in, or try to paint in calm weather.

The surface to be painted has been poorly cleaned of dust or retains significant static tension, attracting dust. Solution to the problem: try to more thoroughly clean the surface from dust and remove static voltage by grounding the product being painted.

When painted, the surface becomes covered with defects similar to craters

The surface is not well cleaned of individual stains of wax, fats, silicones, and polishing agents. Solution to the problem: thoroughly degrease the surface using KUDO Silicone Remover, after testing it on an inconspicuous area of ​​the part to be painted, especially if painting will be done over old paintwork. The fact is that some types of enamels can dissolve under the influence of Silicone Remover.

The surface to be painted has an uneven shine, with glossy areas interspersed with matte areas

The paint is applied to an overly porous surface and is instantly absorbed. Solution to the problem: porous surfaces must be primed in several (2-3) layers. Use KUDO aerosol universal primer for priming.

The painted surface becomes covered with pronounced swellings and wrinkles.

Painting occurs with enamel that is incompatible with previously applied paints and varnishes. Solution to the problem: completely remove the old paintwork mechanically or using KUDO old paint remover.

Smudges form on the surface to be painted

(this defect forms mainly on vertical planes).

Too thick a layer of paint is applied. Solution to the problem: try to avoid overwatering, follow the instructions, try to paint in two or three layers with the recommended drying time between coats.

Coloring occurs too close. Solution to the problem: try to paint from the distance recommended by the instructions - 25-30 cm from the surface to be painted.

Coloring occurs at ambient temperatures below those recommended by the instructions. Solution to the problem: follow the instructions, do not try to paint at ambient temperatures below +10 ° C

Small bubbles form on the horizontal surface to be painted

Too thick a layer of paint is applied. Solution to the problem: try to avoid overwatering, follow the instructions, try to paint in two or three layers with the recommended drying time between coats.

The surface to be painted is too hot. Solution to the problem: try to ensure that the temperature of the surface to be painted matches the ambient temperature (it is advisable to paint in the shade). Remember that painting objects that are too hot can cause the paint to catch fire.

Shagreen and cracking form on the surface to be painted (this defect most often appears on horizontal planes).

Too thick a layer of paint is applied to a surface that is too hot. Solution to the problem: try to avoid overwatering, follow the instructions, try to paint in two or three layers with the recommended drying time between coats. Make sure that the temperature of the surface to be painted matches the ambient temperature (it is advisable to paint in the shade). Remember that painting objects that are too hot can cause the paint to catch fire.

Numerous smudges and unpainted spots are visible on the surface after painting.

Painting occurs on a wet or condensate-containing surface. Solution: Paint only dry surfaces. Follow the instructions, do not try to paint at ambient temperatures below +10°C, as a warm part taken out into the cold begins to become covered with condensation.

Composition of the product

The primer-enamel formula was developed in Novbythima's own chemical laboratory. The final composition includes several artificial components:

• synthetic resins;
• plasticizer;
• corrosion blockers;
• healthy supplements;
• solvents.

Solvents of organic origin are used in paint emulsions. This can be toluene, acetone or xylene. Corrosion inhibitors contain pigments that determine the color of the primer.

The multicomponent composition determines the long shelf life of the packaged primer-enamel. It is 36 months from the date of production.

Product line

In addition to the universal primer-enamel “Novbythim” for rust “3 in 1”, the manufacturer offers several similar products that differ in composition and application. The catalog includes “3 in 1” primer-enamel latex “Chief Technologist”, as well as anti-corrosion enamel for metal “Chief Technologist”.

Primer-enamel for rust 3 in 1: features and application

The 3-in-1 rust enamel primer is an effective means of prevention and long-term protection against corrosion for steel and galvanized metal structures. The components included in this coating ensure the chemical transformation of rust into the soil, thanks to which it can be applied to the metal surface over the rust, which helps reduce the cost and time of work.

The resulting coating protects the metal surface from moisture, dirt, chemicals, and petroleum products, while withstanding significant temperature changes.

The numbers “3 in 1” mean that the coating performs three functions: 1. A rust converter that reacts with oxidized metal and stops the development of corrosion. 2. Primer that has good adhesion to the metal surface, including galvanized and stainless steel structures. 3. Durable enamel, resistant to scratches and various impacts.

Advantages of primer-enamel 3 in 1

Let's consider the main characteristics that make the use of this coating profitable and convenient:

• Quick application in 1 pass.
• Low consumption per 1 m2.
• Can be applied at temperatures as low as -20 C.
• Fast drying time.
• Tinting in the required colors according to RAL (white, gray, black, blue, green, red, brown), providing a beautiful appearance.
• Possibility of use without additional finishing coating.
• Possibility of application by any available method: brush, roller, airless spray.
• Resistant to temperatures from -50 to +100 C.
• For building metal structures, KRON PR primer-enamel can be used as a primer coating, optimized for subsequent application of fire-retardant paint on metal.

Below we will look at the performance and characteristics of 3 in 1 primer-enamel using the example of the KRON PR composition.

Application restrictions

It is not recommended to use enamel primer:

• For application over scale on metal.
• On top of loose rust.
• For painting metal structures or industrial equipment exposed to extreme heat.
• For application on nitro varnish coatings or old paint layers.
• For application to surfaces in contact with food or drinking water.

Application conditions

Rust enamel primer is intended for exterior, outdoor and interior work, and is applied under the following conditions:

• Temperature range: -20 C to +50 C.
• Air humidity: not higher than 85%.
• Application on surfaces with traces of moisture, ice, snow or frost is not allowed.
• The structures being treated must be protected from rain and snow.
• The surface for applying primer-enamel must be dry, free of fragile rust, old paint and varnish coatings, dirt, grease and dust.

Let's take a closer look at preparing the metal surface for applying primer-enamel, since the durability of the coating depends on the quality of this work.

Surface preparation of metal structures

The name primer-enamel does not imply that it can cover and neutralize any rust. Before applying primer-enamel, loose, fragile and flaking rust must be removed from the rusted metal surface using metal brushes, grinding machines or abrasive jet cleaning.

In the same way, the metal surface must be cleaned of old paint and varnish coatings, including anti-corrosion, fire-retardant or decorative ones.

Degreasing: removal of grease, oils, grease, dirt is carried out using washing solutions or solvents and wiping materials. When washed with water, its residues are removed with squeegees, compressed air, and construction hair dryers.

Dust and other foreign particles are removed using compressed air.

Control of surface cleaning of metal structures is carried out visually.

Preparation of the composition and how to dilute the primer-enamel for rust

Before use, the composition must be thoroughly mixed until completely homogeneous. In this case, there should be no sediment left at the bottom of the container.

To achieve the required degree of viscosity, you can dilute the enamel primer over rust using the following solvents:

• orthoxylene,
• R-646.

It is allowed to add solvent in an amount of no more than 5-7% by weight of the primer-enamel.

Rules for applying primer-enamel to a metal surface

1. Primer-enamel can be applied to the surface of metal structures in one of the following ways: - using a brush or roller, - using a pneumatic spraying apparatus, - using airless spraying units. 2. The composition can be applied in 1 or 2 layers. 3. When applied with a brush or roller, the thickness of one layer of primer-enamel is 35-45 microns. 4. When applied by airless spraying, the thickness of one dry layer is up to 120 microns, due to the high amount of dry residue. 5. Before applying the next layer, the previous layer must be completely dry. Drying time should be at least 4 hours, for a temperature of +20°C and humidity up to 75%. As the temperature decreases or humidity increases, the drying time increases.

Consumption rate of primer-enamel 3 in 1

Primer-enamel for rust 3 in 1 has the following consumption rates per 1 m2, depending on the method of application to the metal and the thickness of the dry layer:

• application by brush or roller, for a dry layer thickness of 20-30 microns: 80 g.
• application with a spray gun, for a dry layer thickness of 40 microns: 100-120 g.
• application by airless spray, for a dry layer of 60-80 microns: 250-300 g.

These figures do not take into account losses during painting.

Instructions for use

To obtain a high-quality result, it is important to adhere to the technology recommended by the developer. If you deviate from it, problems with coating adhesion and corrosion protection may occur.

The surface treatment algorithm includes several points:

1. The product is washed from dirt, dust, and grease stains.
2. Rusty deposits are removed mechanically.
3. Clean off all the old peeling paint.
4. Clean the previous layer of paint until it is matte.
5. Degrease the surface to be treated.
6. Dilute the primer-enamel to the desired consistency.
7. Apply Novbytkhim to the prepared area.
8. The fresh coat is left to dry for one hour.
9. Apply primer enamel a second time.
10. Leave for two hours to dry completely.

You can paint products using a brush, foam roller or paint sprayer. In the latter case, the primer-enamel must be made more liquid. This will help create an even, thin layer.

For effective and economical application, the consumption rate should be taken into account; it is 80-120 g/sq.m. for a single-layer coating .

To dilute Novbytkhim enamel, use a proprietary xylene-based product, Thinner No. 1, or solvents R-4, R-5. These liquids can also be used to wash soiled objects, brushes, rollers and other tools.

All work with Novbytkhim primer-enamel must be carried out at a temperature not lower than -10 and not higher than +30 degrees.

If the metal was previously painted with an NC composition, then the paint must first be completely cleaned off . If there are doubts about the quality of primer-enamel adhesion, it is recommended to conduct a test before completely painting the entire product. To do this, apply the product to a small locus, wait until it dries completely and check the quality of the coating.

If swollen bubbles are observed, it means that the old paint must be stripped to zero. If necessary, it is allowed to apply other paint emulsions on top of the dried Novbytkhim primer-enamel.

It can be:

• oil,
• water-dispersed,
• PF, HV paints and enamels.
