Composition and scope
The enamel is produced in accordance with GOST 10144 89. The paint is based on polyvinyl chloride chlorinated resin. To add elasticity, additional components are used:
- organic solvents;
- alkyd resin;
- plasticizer;
- pigments.
The suspension is used for painting metal structures. Widely used in the engineering sector.
Consumption
To optimize enamel consumption and extend the service life of the painted layer, it is important to take into account the temperature and humidity of the air. Consumption largely depends on the viscosity of the mixture, as well as on the number of layers applied. If you follow all the rules established by the manufacturer, the consumption per 1 m2 will be from 120 to 170 grams if a brush or roller is used. When using pneumatic spraying, the consumption will be slightly less, from 110 to 130 grams per square meter.
The price of XB-124 per 1 liter is about 100 rubles. Since the consumption of this paint and varnish material is not very large, you do not need to spend a lot of money to create a high-quality protective layer. Due to its cost-effectiveness, this enamel is widely used both in domestic conditions and in industry.
Specifications
The components included in the composition create a durable coating in different climatic zones. After complete drying, the painted layer does not crack, swell, or smudge. The appearance is uniform.
Important! The paint is elastic, prevents corrosion of metal structures and the process of rotting of wooden surfaces, the paint and varnish material is durable. Withstands temperature changes.
The recommended layer thickness according to GOST is 25-30 microns. The service life of the coating is up to 6 years. Considered frost resistant. The surface can be painted at a temperature of -10 degrees C.
Properties of enamel
Wooden and metal products that will be coated with a layer of XB-124 enamel are reliably protected from the influence of adverse damaging factors. The product is especially suitable for wood - in this case, no additional primer is required; it is enough to apply three layers of paint. This will create a protective film on the surface for up to 6 years or more (if we are talking about operation in a temperate climate).
In cold (arctic) climates, surfaces must be pre-primed using AK-070 primer, which contains aluminum particles. Three layers of enamel on top of such a primer allows the product to be used for up to 5 years. In tropical climates, preliminary priming with FL-03K is carried out in 2 layers, then four layers of enamel are performed. This will help the products last at least 3 years.
Positive properties of the paint that distinguish it from its analogues:
- high anti-corrosion qualities;
- preventing the spread of rust, if present, before applying enamel;
- ensuring a beautiful appearance;
- ability to withstand temperature fluctuations;
- resistance to fire, moisture, detergents, household chemicals, oils, gasoline;
- elasticity;
- durability.
Storage conditions
Enamel is flammable. When storing indoors, all conditions must be ensured. One of the first and most important conditions is the absence of exposure to direct sunlight. The paint can must be tightly closed.
There should not be a source of fire or heat nearby. The storage location should be dark and cool. The air temperature in the room should not be lower than – 30 degrees, but not higher than +30 degrees. According to the manufacturer, the shelf life from the date of manufacture is one year. Incompletely used paint can be stored for no more than six months. Long-term storage increases the viscosity of the enamel.
Application rules
You can paint with XB-124 enamel using different tools. First, the solution is diluted to the required viscosity with a suitable solvent, after which one of the following application methods is used:
- brush;
- spray;
- roller
Before applying paint, the surface is cleaned of all kinds of contaminants. Rust, corrosion, scale, and dust are removed from metal parts. Mold, mildew, moss, grease stains, dirt, dust, etc. are removed from wooden structures. White spirit or another solvent can be used to remove grease and oil, and rust stains can be removed from the metal mechanically. After wet cleaning, you need to wait for the product to dry.
After cleaning, it is advisable to prime the surface with the suitable primers listed above. The primer mixture must dry. The primed base can be coated with enamel only after drying. Each subsequent layer of XB-124 can be applied only after the previous coating has partially dried, it is advisable to wait one hour.
Applying enamel
The structures can be painted with a roller, brush or spray. Before application, the surface must be prepared. Clean from dirt, grease, corrosion, and old layers of paint and varnish. You can use solvent R-4 to remove old grease stains.
After cleaning, the surface is primed. The primer is used AK-070 or FL-03K. The final primer is applied in two layers. Used in tropical climate zones. Wooden structures are painted in 2-3 layers without primer.
Enamel belongs to the flammable group. Contains harmful substances. When working with this paint and varnish material, use personal protective equipment. Work only with gloves and a respirator. Follow fire safety regulations. To prevent fire, keep a fire extinguisher in an accessible place. When working indoors, it must be well ventilated.
Observe safety precautions when working with this paint material. Manufacturers indicate the measures on the packaging.

General description of paint
The composition has a viscous consistency and provides a strong connection to the surface. Thanks to the polyvinyl chloride resin, after drying, a durable layer is formed that can withstand critically low air temperatures. Before painting iron parts, a special primer is applied. Enamel is applied to wooden products without priming. The coating does not allow moisture to pass through, so the metal underneath does not rust and the wood does not swell. The enamel is poured into metal buckets and containers. The surface dries in 24 hours. The thickened composition is diluted with chemical solvents.
Validity period of the protective properties of XB-124:
- in arctic cold conditions - four years;
- in a tropical climate in the heat, with intense ultraviolet irradiation - three years;
- in temperate latitudes - six years.
Analogs of XB-124 enamel are perchlorovinyl paints with any XB marking. In terms of decorative and anti-corrosion properties, enamel XB-1100 is closest. It forms a stronger and more durable coating. Domestic brands are interchanged with imported ones.
