Super Tinolux Paints

Exterior & Interior
Aliphatic polyurethane - alkyd modified industrial paints with good weather
resistance & protective properties

Super Tinolux High Gloss Paint, series 1200

Super Tinolux Semi-gloss Paint, series 13700
Super Tinolux Satin Paint, series 20500

CHARACTERISTICS
Solvent-based one component paints containing aliphatic polyurethane blended with air drying fatty acids &
alkyd resins to provide a tough protective finish with good weather and abrasion resistance for new and main-
tenance painting works in urban, coastal & industrial environments (ISO 12944-5 corrosivity category C2-C4).
The aliphatic polyurethane ingredients add marked advantages in resistance to weather, chemicals, abrasion
& yellowing, as well as help retard combustibility and decontamination, making these paints appropriate as
dust proof coatings that resist the effect of light traffic.
Super Tinolux Paints have excellent levelling properties & good resistance to detergent & cleaning solu-
tions, stains, alcohol, oils, car petrol, inorganic salts & dry heat up to 90°C. They adhere well to alkyd, epoxy
& acrylic based coatings.
They resist CO2, chlorides and other acid gaseous compounds to diffuse into concrete structures and cause
damage by carbonation.

SURFACE PREPARATION

2-1200/ 11-15 pg 1 /4
Surfaces must be solid clean & dry, free from oils, salt, dirt, rust, efflorescence & other contaminants.
Deteriorated previous coatings, friable paints, chalky or weathered surfaces should be removed vigorously,
wire-brushed or sanded & cleaned properly.
Non-disintegrated paints or glossy surfaces of previous coatings should be roughened with sand paper and
tested for compatibility and adhesion.
Unpainted Wood:
Holes, cracks, nail holes etc… should be made good with appropriate putty. Resinous knots should be
cleaned and treated with a proper wood isolator. Smooth surface with sand paper & dust-off.
Unpainted Steel:
Surfaces should be rust free, degreased and cleaned. Best results are obtained by sand or steel blasting to
International Standards. ISO 12944-5 recommends sand blasting to Sa2½ Standards for surfaces to be pro-
tected in high corrosivity environment (category C4), & in medium corrosivity environment (category C3).
Mechanical & manual cleaning to St2 Standards could be adequate for low & medium durability periods in
medium corrosivity environment (C3) & in low corrosivity environment (categories C2 & C1).
Unpainted Concrete or Plaster:
Rub down the surface with emery stone (sand stone) to remove nipples, efflorescence, laitance etc… & dust-off.
Water jet provides good cleaning standards.
Shot blasting of floor surfaces provides best results, though acid etching pretreatment could be adequate for
some jobs.
Holes, cracks and surface irregularities could be made good with TINOCRETE FILL COAT (refer to
TINOCRETE product specs).

PRIMING
Steel surfaces:
Steel surfaces require precoating with TINOLUX ANTI-RUST PRIMER 15060 or 15071 or 15080. 80µm d.f.t.
is recommended to provide adequate rust protection in coastal or polluted urban environments, and 40µm
d.f.t. in low corrosivity environments.
In a dry environments, TINOLUX METAL PRIMER 15090 or 15091 at 40µm d.f.t. are usually adequate.
In aggressive environments (C3-C4) TINOPOXY ANTI-RUST PRIMERS Nr. 15420/ 15432/ 15435 & 15440
or TINOPOXY ZINC RICH PRIMER Nr. 15400 constitute excellent priming coats. TINOPOXY H.B.
INTERMEDIATE COATING series 17100 serves as an excellent undercoat.
Galvanized surfaces:
Pre wash zinc coated surfaces with TINOPRIME ACTIVATOR 7 (etching solution) followed by cleaning with
water (detergent cleaning), touch up welds and scratches with TINOPOXY ZINC RICH PRIMER 15400 and
prime all surface with a thin coat of TINOPRIME PRIMER 15770 which also serves as a good pre-treatment
on aluminium surfaces, or with TINORETHANE ANTI-RUST PRIMER Nr. 15312 or 15313.

Concrete surfaces:
Unpainted concrete substrates to receive putty filler need priming with alkali resistant water-based primer
SEALOMAT CLEAR PRIMER SEALER Nr. 15020. Fully cured substrates could be primed with oil based
primers TINOLUX PIGMENTED PRIMER Nr. 15040 or TINOLUX NON-PIGMENTED PRIMER Nr. 15050.
On chalky or weathered previous coatings, TINOLUX PIGMENTED PRIMER Nr. 15040 serves as a good
primer conditioner for most surfaces. If these surfaces are highly absorbent, use TINOLUX NON-
PIGMENTED PRIMER Nr. 15050.
Floor substrates need priming with SUPER TINOLUX CLEAR VARNISH Nr. 15140 diluted up to 100%.
Wood surfaces:
Knots in wood need treatment with a proper wood isolator.
Impregnate unpainted surfaces with TINOLUX NON-PIGMENTED PRIMER 15050 diluted up to 100%.
In all cases, the priming coat should be roughened slightly with sand paper to ensure adequate intercoat
adhesion, if top coating is delayed.

THINNING

2-1200/ 11-15 pg 2 /4
Use TINOSOLVE 1006 or a good quality white spirit up to 20% for brush/roll application & up to 30% for
conventional spray application.

APPLICATION
As per code of practice and recommendations of ISO 12944-5.
Wood & concrete substrates:
Prime surface as recommended above (priming): where putty is needed, apply TINOPUTTY 1 and/or
TINOFIL PUTTY 15030 (for interior applications) or TINOTRAFFIC EMULSION PUTTY, series 10600/10700
(for exterior applications), sand & dust off then apply one intermediate coat of TINOLUX UNDERCOAT series
5000 & top-coat with Super Tinolux Paint.
Usually 1-2 finishing coats are needed, depending on thickness & service life required.
Steel surfaces:
ISO 12944-5 "protective paint systems" recommend application of these types of paints for protection of steel
surfaces as per the following paint systems:
In high corrosivity environment category C4 (industrial & coastal areas of moderate salinity & pollution) for:
Low durability range of 2-5 years:
Primer 80µm d.f.t.
Intermediate 40µm d.f.t.
Top coat 80µm d.f.t.
200µm d.f.t.
In medium corrosivity environment category C3 (urban & low polluted industrial atmosphere, coastal ar-
eas with low salinity, food processing plants, laundries, dairies, breweries etc…) for:
Medium durability range of 5-15 years: Low durability range of 2-5 years:
Primer 80µm d.f.t. Primer 80µm d.f.t.
Intermediate 40µm d.f.t. Top coat 40µm d.f.t.
Top coat 40µm d.f.t. 120µm d.f.t.
160µm d.f.t.
In low corrosivity environment category C2 (buildings, sports halls, depots, low polluted atmosphere and
rural areas):
Low durability range of 2-5 years Medium durability range of 5-15 years
Primer 40µm d.f.t. Primer 80µm d.f.t.
Top coat 40µm d.f.t. Top coat 40µm d.f.t.
80µm d.f.t. 120µm d.f.t.
In maintenance painting, remove rust spots, clean and touch up with compatible primer conditioner & follow
by the appropriate paint system.
Delay in recoating necessitates roughening of the preceding coat with sand paper. Do not subject painted
floors to traffic before through drying. Do not apply on uncured concrete substrates to avoid saponification.
These paints tend to slightly yellow in interior environments.
