The refurbishing of the air intake
begins with the initial inspection to determine the scope
of work required.
In most cases the inside of the air
intake unit will require a thorough cleaning to remove
rust, scale and dirt.
The substrate, once cleaned,
will be ready for the application of our " NR
661 " rustgard which will convert any remaining rust on the metal portions
of the tank or containment area. This is to be applied at a rate of 2 mm
D.F.T. and sufficient curing time is required before application of our Tank
Liner. Optimum curing conditions are @ 20 degrees C and relative humidity
of 50% or lower.
Once the rustgard has cured (min12
hrs recommended) the tank liner can be applied. The 986-8
submersible primer finish (tank liner) can be applied
at a rate of 5mls minimum D.F.T. and requires 2 coats for maximum protection.
Drying
time between coats is approx 1hrs. And the introduction
of humidity must wait for a minimum of 12 hrs to allow
proper cure time.
