Powder coating primer MT-Active EL140N

Product Description

MT-Active is a powder coating primer, totally free from Zinc. It is designed to give enhanced corrosion protection of mild steel and is an epoxy-polyester primer including active anticorrosive pigments. The addition of these pigments provides a steel passivation effect to protect the substrate enhancing the performance when compared to other non-active systems.

Pretreatment

Surface preparation depends upon the metal, the type of surface, its conditions and the required performance.

Substrate	Mechanical pretreatment	Chemical pretreatment
Mild steel	Grit Blasting Sa 2.5 in accordance with ISO NF EN 8501-1. Roughness: Rz 42 84 µm / Ra 6-12 µm	Degreasing & phosphating (or equivalent) followed by passivation, DW rinsing and drying.
Cast steel
Electro Zinc steel	Sweep blasting with a maximum zinc layer thickness reduction of 5 to10 µm depending on the initial zinc thickness.
Hot dip galvanized steel		Degreasing & phosphating / chromating followed by passivation.
flame/electrical deposition)	Grit Blasting Sa 3 in accordance with ISO NF EN 8501-1. Roughness: Rz 42 84 µm / Ra 6-12 µm	Banned

Application

MT-Active is suitable for corona electrostatic spraying.

Recommended film thickness	60-80 µm A good protection is linked with the recommended film thickness.
Recycling	For marine applications, related to cycles approved RINA / DM, the thickness of the metal support must be> = 0.6mm, and the thickness of the coating film must respect the value of 80μ ± 10%. Unused powder can be reclaimed using suitable equipment and recycled through the coating system, but a minimum of 70% new powder should be used.
