BERGERLAC ALUMINIUM FINISH

Oleoreisnous Aluminium Paint

SURFACE
PREPARATION

This coating is usually applied over a suitable primer undercoat or build coat. The underlying system
should be sound and un damaged.
Remove all wax, oil and grease by solvent cleaning in accordance with the guidelines given by SSPC-SPI.
Soluble salts, dirt and dust must be removed prior to coating. Dry brushing should be sufficient. A
freshwater wash must follow to remove all soluble salts.
Always ensure the maximum overcoating time for the primer/build coat has not been exceeded prior to
application.
A number of Berger Primers can be adopted depending on contract requirements.
For all general structural steelwork, piping, ducting etc, apply 2 coats of either LUXAPRIME 1400 or
LUXAPRIME 1300. These would normally be applied after fabrication and/or erection.
When blast cleaning is employed, should a holding primer be required, apply one coat of EPILUX 66 to 25
microns.
For galvanized, metal sprayed or aluminium surfaces, pre-treat with one coat of LUXAPRIME 1500
followed by Bergerlac Aluminium finish.
On Timber apply one coat of Bergerprimer synthetic wood primer followed by Bergerlac Aluminium finish.
