RECOMMENDED USES
INTERIOR & EXTERIOR USE
Recommended for use on structural steel work, metal-sheeting,
weathered galvanise. Particularly suitable for the long-term
protection of metal and agricultural buildings.
PREPERATION
Suitable for use on farm buildings, hay barns, corrugated
iron roofs, and all structural steel work. SYN-OXIDE can be
used as a general-purpose protective coating on any type of
normally prepared surface, so long as it is sound clean, dry,
and free of contaminants. Oil and grease must be carefully
removed using white spirit and clean cloths. Remove all
scale and rust by scraping and wire brushing or other
conventional means. If the surface has been previously
painted any loose or defective paint must be completely
removed back to the bare metal.
Note: Special precautions should be taken during surface
preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and
metal as they may contain lead (Pb). Use in accordance with
good painting practices.

As a guide a coverage rate of up to 15m2 per litre
can be achieved under normal conditions.
