Asian Paint Berger 3.6L Special Value Oxide Primer - Red

This primer offers excellent adhesion to mild steel surfaces, promotes rust prevention, and can be applied to non-blast-cleaned surfaces. It has a low sheen finish and is available in red oxide color, ensuring aesthetic appeal while providing functional benefits.

For best results, ensure that the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. The primer should be applied using a brush or roller for an even coat, with a minimum of two coats recommended for optimal protection. It can also be applied using conventional or airless spray methods.

At 20°C, the handleable dry time is approximately 2 hours, while it takes about 24 hours to cure fully. The overcoating interval is a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 20 hours depending on environmental conditions.

The theoretical spread rate for the primer is approximately 12.5 m²/L for a dry film thickness of 40 microns and about 10 m²/L for 50 microns. Actual coverage may vary based on surface conditions and application methods.

It is essential to wear protective clothing, including goggles and gloves, to avoid skin and eye contact. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and avoid applying the product when humidity exceeds 95% or when condensation is likely.

The shelf life of the Asian Paint Berger Special Value Red Oxide Primer is up to 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place in its original container. Proper storage conditions are crucial to maintain product efficacy.

Disposal should be conducted according to local regulations. The primer can typically be disposed of as normal paint waste, but it should not be emptied into drains or watercourses. Always consult local authorities if in doubt about disposal methods.

It's a water-based primer designed as a protective base coat for interior and exterior surfaces. It can be applied directly on masonry and is suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It dries quickly, provides excellent adhesion and sealing properties, and offers extra protection with good coverage in a single coat.

You can use it on plaster, cement, wood, brick, stone, and metal. It’s suitable for both interior and exterior applications and can be applied directly to masonry surfaces as a base coat.

Key features include direct application on masonry, compatibility with both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, quick-drying, strong adhesion and sealing, and the potential for better, single-coat coverage. It is designed to provide durable protection against water, humidity, alkalis, and acidic contaminants.

Preparation is important: ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of loose material. Stir the primer well, then apply using a brush, roller, or spray gun. Allow it to dry to the touch before applying the next coat or topcoat. Use the topcoat recommended by the paint manufacturer after the primer has dried.

The primer is designed to provide a smooth base with good opacity, improving adhesion for the topcoat. Coverage depends on surface porosity and method of application; follow the product label for approximate coverage on different surfaces.

Being water-based, it generally has lower odor and is easier to work with in interiors. Ensure adequate ventilation during application. For specific safety and composition details, refer to the SDS provided by the manufacturer.

Most water-based and solvent-based topcoats are compatible when applied according to their own guidelines. Always follow the topcoat manufacturer's recommendations regarding drying times and recoat windows after applying this primer.
