This specification covers a black alkyd high gloss paint for steel. It has good weathering in rural, industrial, and marine atmospheres. It is also an excellent general purpose paint for use in interior locations.
This paint is suitable for exposures in Environmental Zones IA (interior, normally dry) and 1B (exterior, normally dry) and is intended for brush or spray application over rust inhibitive priming paints, over itself, or over other oleoresinous paints. This paint is suitable as an intermediate or topcoat and is to be applied in accordance with SSPC-PA 1, “Shop, Field, and Maintenance Painting of Steel.”
The good weathering ability of this paint is the result of its alkyd vehicle.
This primer contains approximately 37% by volume of nonvolatile film-forming solids (pigment and binder). The theoretical spreading rate for a 1.5 mil (38 micrometers) dry film thickness is 395 square feet/U.S. gallon (9.7 square meters/liter). Actual spreading rates can be significantly lower.
