Description
(top)
Prep-Step is a biodegradable
surface conditioner for rusty steel or freshly prepared steel that has been
dipped, stripped or sand blasted. It is a combination of complex phosphate
salts, esters and wetting agents. Product
Uses (top)
-
Rusted Surfaces: Prep-Step will soften and help
remove loose rust particles, while solidifying the tight rust left behind.
Prep-Step also phosphatizes the surface and adjusts its pH to 6, both of
which are ideal conditions for paint adhesion.
-
Freshly Prepared Steel: Prep-Step adjusts the
pH and phosphatizes the surface, thus forestalling flash rust. So
if you have a project that has been dipped, stripped or sandblasted and
you can't get it painted for a period of time, Prep-Step powder that has been dissolved
in water, sprayed on, and allowed to dry will give you a holding period
before coating.
-
General Cleaning: Prep-Step will help you remove
dirt, grime, greases, oils, and silicone from steel surfaces. It is not
harmful to sound painted surfaces.
Directions for use
(top).
Mix two ounces (2 heaping
tablespoons) of Prep-Step per gallon of water, stirring until all crystals
have dissolved. Apply with spray bottle or pump up tank sprayer.
On raw non-rusted steel,
simply allow the solution to dry. On rusted steel, allow full
soaking of the rust. Work the entire surface with a wire brush to
loosen rust and then allow the surface to dry. Pressure wash to remove
all residues, then reapply Prep-Step solution and allow the surface to
dry thoroughly before painting.
