Additional Information

Crown Multi Surface Primer is a lead free, solvent free, low odour, low VOC, non-flammable, water based, adhesion promoted, and corrosion inhibiting primer, replaces and outperforms solvent- based alkyd coatings for structural steel, fencing, containers, earthmoving equipment, cranes and mining equipment. It is highly recommended for Crown Aqua Glow topcoat on metal surface primed with multi surface primer. Also, is suitable for priming ferrous, non-ferrous metals and other masonry surfaces.

Directions for Use
- Do not overcoat Multi Surface Primer with solvent-based coatings.
- Ensure all application instructions are followed to prevent coating failure.
Surface Preparation
- Proper surface preparation is critical for optimal coating performance.
- Ensure the surface is: Dry, Free from rust, Free from dirt, Free from chalking, Free from oil and grease, Free from any other contamination
- Note: Improperly prepared surfaces may result in coating failure.
Unpainted Metal Surfaces
- Preferably sand blast substrate.
- Alternatively remove rust by:
  - Sanding
  - Wire brushing
- Degrease the surface.
- Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Allow the surface to dry completely.
- Do not clean the substrate with thinners or solvents.
Application Steps
- Prime with one coat of Multi Surface Primer depending on the required DFT (Dry Film Thickness).
- Overcoat with Aqua Glow Finish as specified.
Masonry Surfaces
- Ensure the surface is:
  - Sound, Clean, Dry, Free from defective or poorly adhering materials, Free from dirt, grease or wax
- Surface preparation:
  - Rub down the surface using a suitable abrasive for a better finish.
  - Dust off thoroughly after sanding.
  - Fill surface cracks with a suitable filler.
  - If there is any undulation, apply suitable putty to level the surface.
  - Porous or chalky surfaces:
- Apply one coat of SB Clear prior to the Multi Surface Primer.
Previously Painted Surfaces
- Remove all loose, defective and unstable paint film or powdery residue by:
  - Thorough brushing
  - Scraping where necessary
- For oil-based enamel painted surfaces in sound condition:
  - Sand down the surface.
  - Clean thoroughly.
- Surface repairs:
  - Repair minor defects and cracks with suitable filler.
  - Fill surface cracks with suitable filler.
  - If there is any undulation, apply suitable putty to level the surface.
- Priming
  - Apply one coat of Universal Undercoat.
Application
