Technical characteristics and scope of ML-1110 enamel, how to apply it
ML-1110 enamel is a paint and varnish coating produced in accordance with GOST. The substance includes alkyd ingredients and other pigments. It also contains organic solvents, resins and other substances. Thanks to this, the substance meets all the necessary technical parameters. In order for the use of the composition to be successful, it is important to strictly observe the rules of its application.
General information about enamel
The main area of use of the substance is considered to be the painting of car bodies and other vehicles. It is used on bicycles or buses. Enamel is suitable for the full processing of some fragments of cars or the entire body, which allows you to choose the appropriate option.
The paint warranty period is counted from the date of production. Moreover, it is 1 year. It is recommended to apply the substance to a previously cleaned surface. It must be pre-coated with a primer.
In temperate climates, the painted surface can retain its technical properties for 5 years. At the same time, decorative properties are usually retained for 3 years. When using a painted product in the tropics, the service life of protective and decorative properties does not exceed 1 year.
Paint Specifications
After applying the layer of paint and varnish, it is possible to obtain a layer corresponding to a certain number of characteristics. It turns out smooth and even. There are no creases or clots on the painted surface. In addition, it does not contain impurities and other foreign bodies.
The main properties of enamel are:
- Viscosity parameters according to the B3-4 viscometer or other device with a 0.4 cm nozzle at room temperature are 70-120 units. It is allowed to mix the enamel with a solvent. It is allowed to do this at 20-35%.
- The grinding level is 10 micrometers.
- The covering power of the coat depends on the shade chosen. It can be 35-60 grams per square meter.
- The light fastness of the film is 4 hours.
- The parameters of the impact resistance of the drying layer - 0.45 meters.
- The tensile strength of the film is 0.6 centimeters.
- The adhesion of the substance is at the level of 2 points.
At temperature parameters of +135 degrees, it takes half an hour to dry the coating of paint and varnish. In this case, the painted layer must be dried with heat.
Color pallet
The color scheme of the material is surprisingly diverse. The assortment includes white, black, grey, green, milky and cherry tones. The enamel is also blue, yellow, cornflower blue, pearl. This is not a complete list of possible shades that can be obtained after staining.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantages are:
- high strength of the coating;
- excellent decorative characteristics;
- reliable protection of the surface from the influence of external factors;
- affordable price;
- rich palette of shades.
The main advantage of the coating is the uniform application of the substance to the surface, which gives the coating a high degree of strength and elasticity.
The only drawback of the paint and varnish material is the need to observe a number of precautions. This substance is considered flammable, so it is recommended to paint products with enamel away from open fire sources.
Scope
ML-1110 enamel is used for application on the surface of the body or other elements of cars. The paint material is also suitable for painting bicycles or other vehicles. Before applying the substance, the surfaces must be pre-prepared, phosphated, primed. This will improve the adhesion of paint and varnish to the product.
Work instructions
Before you start painting the body, the base should be carefully prepared. It is recommended to clean it from dirt, traces of corrosion or rust, grease. It is also necessary to remove the old paint.
If necessary, the surface must be polished without fail. It is recommended to use an electric sander for this.
To increase the parameters of protection of metal elements from traces of rust and corrosion, the surface must first be phosphated and primed. EP-0228 or KF-093 solution should be used as a primer. To dilute the composition to the working texture, use R-197 thinner. If you plan to paint in an electric field, 2B and RE-18 should be used as solvents.
When applying the paint, it is recommended to do it in 2 layers. In addition, each of them is recommended to dry for at least half an hour in a hot setting.In this case, it is worth using a temperature of +135 degrees. Small surfaces can be brushed. For painting large structures, it is worth using the spray method. For this, it is recommended to use a spray bottle. A spray gun is also suitable.
Storage conditions
Storage of ML-1110 Enamel in original unopened packaging is six months.
Precautionary measures
When working with this type of enamel, you should follow these recommendations:
- The enamel composition must be diluted with a solvent. It is recommended to do this at 20-35%.
- During work, it is important to protect the skin, respiratory tract and eyes from fumes and enamel. It is recommended to use personal protective equipment for protection. These include gloves, respirator, goggles.
- If the substance comes into contact with the eyes or skin, it is important to rinse the affected area with plenty of cold running water. After that, you should consult your doctor.
- To protect the skin of the hands, it is allowed to use a special paste. These are called biological gloves.
- Since ML-1110 enamel has toxic properties, the room should be carefully ventilated during work. It is best to perform the procedure outdoors.
- Enamel is highly flammable and flammable. Therefore, before painting, it is worth seeing whether there is a fire extinguishing agent in the room. These include sand and a fire extinguisher.
Enamel has toxic properties only during application and during the drying period. Once this process is completed, the substance does not pose a health hazard.
ML-1110 Enamel is an effective agent that is often used for application to car bodywork or other metal surfaces.For the procedure to be successful, it is important to properly prepare the coating for staining. Compliance with the precautionary rules is not negligible.
