Technical characteristics of soil-enamel rust 3 in 1

Any owner sooner or later faces the wear and tear of favorite objects of the external or internal interior. And so you want to give things a second life! What materials can help with this?

Purpose

Soil-enamel 3 in 1 - a universal composition for restoring the appearance of metal structures. It does not require pre-priming paint on metal that performs the following functions:

  • arresting foci of rust on the metal surface and preventing its further spread;
  • coating the product with a primer to promote better adhesion to the paint;
  • painting with decorative enamel surface design.

Due to the combination of functions in the enamel primer, it is not necessary to apply several layers of different materials to the product and wait for them to dry completely before applying each subsequent one.This saves time and money, and also reduces the number of working tools.

Most often priming enamel is used to cover street structures: gratings, fences, gates, garages, doors and outdoor furniture. This results from the fact that soil-enamel is atmospheric resistant to humidity, cold and the sun. But it is also possible to use the composition for decorative purposes - to cover various items of interior.

    It should be noted the widespread use of primer-enamel in car repairs, especially its internal parts. Hard to reach places where there is a constant contact with oil, steam or high temperature can easily be covered with one or several layers of primer enamel. After that, the nodes of the car become resistant to aggressive effects.

    In industry, these compositions also found their place due to chemical resistance to oils, aggressive media, water and steam. They are used to cover elements of industrial and building structures, hangars and warehouses.

    Soil-enamel can be used not only for iron, steel and aluminum products.It is often used to coat wooden, concrete, mineral and brick surfaces both inside and outside the premises.

    Ease of use, good appearance of products and availability in stores make this cover an indispensable tool in the household.

    Composition

    The multifunctionality of primer-enamel ensures the presence of several components in its base.

    • Alkyd-urethane varnish. This is a quick-drying composition of alkyd resins in combination with urethane components. It is a connecting component.
    • Anticorrosive materials. Two components should be distinguished here: anti-corrosion pigments that prevent the formation of new foci of rust, and rust modifiers (or converters) that neutralize existing corrosion. Such additives form a phosphate film on corrosive areas.
    • Enamel. For the formation of the surface colored layer of the product.
    • Plasticizers and other additives. Improves the working properties of primer-enamel.
    • Solvent. Provides the necessary working viscosity of the material. To give the desired viscosity varnish diluted with white spirit.Therefore, it should be used in the cultivation of thickened primer enamels.

    Manufacturers, competing with each other, constantly improve the composition of primers, produce them in a wide range of colors, introduce all new additives, indicating information about it on the packaging.

    Specifications

    There is an opinion that you can prepare the primer enamel on your own by mixing the primer with the paint you like. However, the result will surely be deplorable, because mechanical mixing will only worsen the properties of both the primer and enamel. It’s all a matter of a special production technology for making a primer-enamel, due to which the primer layer will adhere to the surface of the product, while the finishing lacquer layer will remain on the surface. For this purpose, various additives and additives are introduced into the composition.

    The technology of making multifunctional soils gives them excellent quality.

    • Resistance to temperatures. It is recommended to apply primer-enamel at a temperature of 20 ° C - then the drying temperature and material properties declared by the manufacturer will be achieved. But if necessary, you can use it at a subzero temperature.And the applied and dried primer enamel retains all its properties at temperatures ranging from -45 ° C to + 100 ° C.
    • Density and elasticity of the finished coating. If applied correctly, cracks will not appear for several years.
    • Low material consumption. Compared with the classic paint materials, the consumption of primer-enamel will be about 30% less, even if the coating is applied in several layers.
    • Atmospheric resistance. Products coated with enamel are resistant to the effects of the sun, moisture, salt and oil, which makes this material ideal for refreshing the street interior.

    A variety of traditional primer enamel is hammer paint. The metal powder is additionally added to its composition, and the treated surface looks like a blacksmith-treated one, hence the name of the paint. It can be unmistakably identified by a textured “shagreen” surface and metallic luster. It is also applied to rust, combining the functions of the soil and enamel.

    Due to metal additives such paint is more difficult to apply by spraying - when working with it requires a brush or roller.Also on the vertical surfaces may move down the metal particles, which will worsen the original appearance of the product. But when applied according to the technology, hammer enamel looks very impressive on interior items.

    Manufacturers

    There is a huge selection of such materials on the market now, but before choosing it is better to decide on the manufacturer and read reviews about the product - this will help save time, money and nerves.

    Novbythim

    It produces enamel in various containers (from 1 to 20 liters). The coating is characterized by good painting properties, low consumption, good hiding. The price for 3 liters is 700-800 rubles, for 20 liters - about 5500 rubles. Among the shortcomings, consumers note a sharp smell of paint, which makes it suitable only for outdoor use. To dilute the paint manufacturer recommends not white spirit, and the solvent of its brand.

    "Prestige"

    "Prestige" is an enterprise for the production of soil from the Rostov region. For small works, it is sold in small packages of 200 g each, but there are also packages of 1.9 kg each costing about 400 rubles. The price is relatively small, and the reviews are mostly positive and are associated with good anti-corrosion properties of enamel. It is well hides the existing rust and prevents the appearance of new rust stains.But, like many domestic enamels, has a rather sharp smell.

    Lacra

    It produces priming enamel in packages of 0.8 kg and 1.7 kg. There is a small color palette. Budget enamel on rust, which dries quickly and forms a coating of pleasant color.

    Application

    Before applying the primer-enamel surface must be prepared: clean it from the previous exfoliating coating, remove the large and loose rust. After that, you should re-clean the product from dust and dirt and, if necessary, degrease with white spirit. All this will provide the best adhesion to the primer-enamel, facilitate the work and provide a high-quality finish.

    Important! If the previous coating was on a nitro base, then before applying 3 in 1 enamel it must be carefully removed using a special wash. Otherwise, the surface will swell and detach the soil-enamel.

    Before direct application, the composition must be thoroughly mixed. Depending on the complexity and size of the surface to be treated, the enamel can be applied with a brush, roller or spray gun. Small parts can be processed by dipping.

    Before covering the whole structure, it is advisable to try to paint a small area., to assess the correctness of the color selection and the quality of the finishing layer.

    The average consumption of material per m2 - 80-120 ml for one layer. The number of applied layers depends on the degree of protection and the desired effect and ranges from 1 to 4. Each manufacturer indicates on the package recommendations for soil consumption and the method of application to the product.

    The drying time of the primer-enamel is small: to the stage “to touch” - about 30 minutes, and the time of complete drying - about 4 hours. In order for the product to be resistant to salt, water and oil, it is necessary to withstand it before use for several days (up to 7 days).

    In the open air, the process of drying the enamel primer and removing the specific odor occurs faster than indoors. Therefore, manufacturers recommend to paint the base on the street or in a ventilated space.
