INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND APPLICATION
ANTIKON® paint compound is produced and supplied in two basic
colour shades: grey and white. It can be tinted with inorganic powder
pigments. The compound can be applied by brush, roller or spraying,
and can be used for both primer and topcoat.
ANTIKON is produced in three versions:

- Version N for enclosed spaces and tanks
The special feature of ANTIKON: a steel structures will be protected even
without removing existing rust. Only flash rust particles should be
removed with a wire brush or a spatula.
1. PREPARATION OF THE COATING COMPOUND
The powder component is mechanically mixed with water under constant
stirring, e.g. by means of a mortar mixer in a suitable container. For 20 kg
of dry material, 7.5 l of water are required. The mixture homogenises
within 1 to 3 minutes. Then 0.75 l liquid component is added.
The components will have combined in two to three minutes. After
stirring occasionally for two hours, the mixture will be ready for use.
Further dilution with water as well as an overdosage of water during the
preparation is not recommended, as this may lead to cracks in the surface
of the paint. Smaller quantities can also be used, but the components
must be dosed accordingly.
2. APPLICATION OF THE PAINT
We recommend applying the prepared compound to the surface with a
brush. Apply any further coats only aaer the previous coat has fully dried
(within 12 to 24 hours, depending on the humidity). Antikon can be
applied at temperatures between 0 - 40°C and a relative humidity of up
to 100%.
When applying, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
Aaer work, the used vessels and tools must be thoroughly cleaned with
water, the dried compound is very difficult to remove.
