Pre-treatment

For maximum protection it is essential to pretreat components for exterior use prior to the application of MT-800. Aluminium components should receive a full multi-stage chromate conversion coating to clean and condition the substrate. Detailed advice should be sought from the pretreatment supplier. Galvanised steel also requires multi-stage pretreatment using either zinc phosphate or chromate conversion. Degassing of galvanised steel prior to powder application is considered mandatory – follow the procedural advice of the pretreatment supplier. MT-800 products may also be used on other substrates (eg. mild steel fabrications) for internal applications; nevertheless zinc phosphate pretreatment is regarded as essential.

Application

MT-800 AM powders can be applied by manual or automatic electrostatic spray equipment. Unused powder can be reclaimed using suitable equipment and recycled through the coating system.
