Applications
Surface preparation
The maximum performance of Tectyl 1079 can be achieved only when the metal surfaces to be protected are clean, dry and free of rust, oil and mill scale. Before application of the Tectyl 1079 the painted surfaces should be properly cured. It is recommended to test the painted surfaces, the rubbers and the synthetic parts if they are solvent resistant before application of the Tectyl 1079.
Application
Tectyl 1079 is formulated to be used as supplied. It is recommended that the ambient and product temperature be 10-35 °C at the time of product application. Tectyl 1079 can be applied by airless or low-pressure air spray. Details on application can be found in the application chart.
Removal
Tectyl 1079 can in the wet phase be removed with Tectyl Biocleaner, Valvoline 150 or lowpressure steam. If dried and cured the film of Tectyl 1079 can be removed with Valvoline 150. Attention: If the applied surface is placed under direct sunlight, the material has to be removed within 3 months and re-applied otherwise removal will be difficult.
