The minimum temperature for application is 10°C. Relative humidity should not exceed 85%.
Note: Where primer has been left exposed over a period of time, it will be necessary to thoroughly prepare the surface by removing all dirt, grease, oil, wax, rust, salts etc before the overpainting. Where rusting of peaks has occurred on blast cleaned steel, flash blasting or thorough manual preparation followed by spot priming with an appropriate primer will be required.
