Self-Coat Rubber Guard
ZERO V.O.C. E.M.T.
Rubber Guard
DESCRIPTION
An polymer based
rubberising compound for corrosion protection and
moderate abrasion applications.
PRINCIPAL
CHARACTERISTICS
A UV resistant
rubberising compound. The coating can be applied up
to 6 mm thick. Provides excellent corrosion
protection and a good non-skid surface. Has
excellent abrasion resistance in moderate
applications such as trailers, trucks and chassis.
Provides good sound damping properties on vibrating
equipment. Materials are water based and
non-toxic. No noxious fumes during painting and no
need for solvents. Supplied ready for application
and does not require thinning, in fact the product
should not be thinned. Clean up is conducted with
water. Multiple coats can be applied in the same
day if higher dry film thicknesses are required.
Not recommended for use on substrates permanently
submerged in water.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Ensure that all
surfaces are free of loose and friable dust, debris,
all grease, and other contaminants.
Carbon steel
– Power brush to remove all thick and loosely
adhering rust, followed by sanding with SELF-COAT
BIND to provide a mechanical key. Alternatively
abrasive blast clean to at least grade Sa2 of SIS 05
5900 – 1967 with a maximum profile of 40
micrometers. Prime with one coat of METAL GUARD.
Previously painted
surfaces
- Remove all traces of grease and contamination’s
using a suitable degreaser. Test the existing
coating for suitability and inter coat adhesion in a
small area before applying the full system. Patch
prime here required with METAL GUARD.
APPLICATION
Suitable for
application by rubberising spray gun, textured
roller or brush. A brush is ideal for touch ups.
Stir contents thoroughly before applications. Clean
equipment with water before the touch dry state.
THICKNESS
Rubberising can be
applied at about 1 mm per coat on vertical
surfaces. Multiple coats can be applied “wet on
wet” by allowing preceding coats to become touch dry
and then over coating.
