Description

EPIFANES MULTIGUARD+ is a tar-free, semi-gloss black marine paint suitable for bare steel surfaces as well as for the maintenance of existing tar and bitumen coatings. The coating has excellent adhesion to steel as well as to pretreated tar and bitumen layers. The paint is colorfast and resistant to alternating influences of water and air. Application is by brush, roller, or spray gun. 

Application: Stir well prior to application. Make sure to apply the product only in well ventilated areas. The temperature should be above 8°C while applying and during drying times. The first coat is applied to bare steel or to roughened or softened tar layers thinned with 20–25% EPIFANES 1K Spray Thinner (Art. No. 2059-110) or white spirit and applied with a stiff bristle brush. Subsequent coats are applied with a short-haired lambskin roller. The substrate must be clean, grease-free, and dust-free. Existing tar layers should be prepared by high-pressure cleaning, degreasing, and roughening with grit 60 or a suitable solvent.
