Painting of metal parts gives them strength, provides reliable protection. For this purpose, special paints have been developed, which cover various products from ferrous and non-ferrous metals. An example is the enamel ML-1110, widely used in industry.
Enamel EM-1110 - description
Enamel ML-1110 is often called auto enamel. Indeed, its use is justified in the production and repair of cars, buses, bicycles and other equipment. The paint is used to process the body and other parts of the equipment, it is a suspension of pigments with a solution of alkyd and other resins. The tool also includes a number of additives and fillers to ensure compliance with technical specifications.
Auto enamel is made according to the requirements of GOST 20481-80. In the description of the product, it is noted that the expiration date from the date of issue is 12 months. After application to pre-prepared, primed, phosphated products, taking into account the moderate climate, the paint retains its protective properties for 5 years. Decorative qualities are guaranteed to last for 3 years. In tropical climates, both indicators do not exceed one year.
Safety rules when using the tool:
- Due to the irritating effect on the skin, central nervous system, respiratory system, organs of vision, the body must be protected from fumes. For this purpose, personal protective equipment is used.
- To ensure the protection of the hands when working with paint use paste type "biological gloves".
- Work is carried out only with good ventilation, and fire protection equipment should also be in the premises.
- As it dries, the paint film becomes safe and non-toxic to the body.
Product Features
After painting, the film created on the surface meets the following requirements:
- smooth;
- homogeneous;
- no wrinkles, smallpox;
- no clots;
- no impurities and impurities;
- small shagreen is possible.
Depending on the color, ML-1110 enamel gives different gloss values - from 35 to 60%. The composition of the product contains 47-65% non-volatile substances. Other characteristics are as follows:
- viscosity when measured with a VZ-4 viscometer or analogs (nozzle 4 mm), air temperature about 20 degrees - 70-120;
- the degree of dilution of enamel - 20-35%;
- hiding power of the film (depending on the shade) - 35-60 g / square meter;
- milling - up to 10 microns;
- coating strength upon impact - 45 cm (according to the U-1 device);
- coating tensile strength - 6 mm;
- coating adhesion - 2 points;
- light fastness of the coating - 4 hours.
After application, the film dries in half an hour if the air temperature is 130-132 degrees.
Enamel colors
The tool is produced in a wide range of colors. The latter includes both standard colors (white, black, brown, green, beige, etc.), and:
- green-sand;
- white and yellow;
- cherry;
- Orange;
- ruby;
- blue;
- red-orange;
- gold;
- pale yellow;
- sand;
- light blue;
- cornflower and many others.
Enamel application
Before painting, the surface must be prepared. For this purpose, it should be cleaned of dirt, polished, if necessary, remove rust and other stains with a grinder. To increase corrosion protection, the metal must first be phosphated and primed. This is solved by using primers EP-0228, KF-093.
Before application, the paint ML-1110 is diluted with solvent R-197, giving the mass working viscosity. You can also use diluents RE-1B, 2B, if the enamel is used for painting in an electric field. Apply two layers, each should dry for at least 30 minutes with hot drying (130 degrees). The spraying technique is used, in small areas you can use a brush.
Use Questions
Users often have questions regarding the operation of the paint. Here are the main, most common:
After diluting the enamel ML-1110, you need to wait a while before applying to the surface?
Answer: No, you should immediately start work, the time for using enamel should be no more than 8 hours.
Will the paint be flammable after drying?
Answer: The material is flammable in liquid form, after drying, its fire hazard does not exceed those of other coatings.
Can IZUR-021 solvent be added to ML-1110 enamel?
Answer: Solvents specified in the instructions should be used to ensure that the coating meets specified technical specifications.
