What are important points when applying ROVAL products?

Please meet following three points for optimum performance.

1. Surface Preparation
Expose clean bare metal surface by proper preparation method.
For steel surface, sandblasting or power tool cleaning is sufficient.
For galvanized surface, clean with hand tools.

2. Adequate Agitation
Agitate the products well to obtain uniform density.

3. Sufficient Film Thickness
Anti-corrosion performance is proportional to film thickness.
Do not spread too thinly.
(Apply 1.6 mil films twice to obtain total film thickness 3.2 mil.)
