In today's market of paints and varnishes, a huge number of various options for coatings for steel are presented. And it is often quite difficult to make a choice in favor of a particular manufacturer. Therefore, you should always think about
such a characteristic as price – quality. For example, Hamerayt paint, the price of which is quite consistent with the quality, has established itself quite well in our climatic conditions.
The choice of paint for metal
Of course, if the minimum requirements for the paint and the product are presented, then everything is much simpler - you can buy the first paint you come across, preferably cheaper, paint it with your own gate, for example, and watch it peel off after a few months.
If the goal is to obtain a long-lasting paint coating that will last for more than one year and at the same time not lose its original qualities, it will be more difficult to determine. However, the frequency of preventive measures that are inevitable during the operation of any metal product depends on the correct choice of paint.
Hammeright hammer paint has excellent properties that protect metal from corrosion for a long time. A hammer effect only decorates any product. By the way, one point should be noted: the hammeriness of the paint is most evident on flat surfaces with a large area. For example, on a door leaf, Hamerayt hammer paint will give an excellent uniform pattern. However, on a grill or fence made of metal rods, the hammer effect will be less noticeable. Although he, of course, will be.
The most common problems with paints for metal
Steel is susceptible to corrosion - it is a fact. And how long any metal product can withstand aggressive environments depends on the quality of the coating. No coating guarantees 100% corrosion protection. Sooner or later, foci of rust will begin to appear. If you do not take into account the factory preparation conditions and the subsequent painting process, the situation only worsens.
The main problems with the paintwork:
- the appearance of rust;
- fading and fading of paint;
- the appearance of cracks on the paintwork;
- peeling paint from metal.
Hamerayt paint on rust , the price of which ranges from $ 15 per liter, can protect the metal from many problems and provide a reliable, beautiful and durable coating.
Surface preparation for painting
So, taking into account that high-quality materials, for example, Hamerayt paint, were chosen for the final coating, it is necessary to prepare the painted surface well to obtain the maximum and lasting effect.
If you neglect the basic rules of preparation and apply any paint to a metal that is not cleaned of rust, scale or old paint, the rapid appearance of foci of corrosion is guaranteed.
What needs to be done in the process of preparing metal for painting:
- remove rust;
- remove scale;
- clean the surface of old paint and any dirt;
- degrease the surface;
- if necessary, putty sinks and joints.
All this must be done in order to ensure maximum adhesion of the paint to the metal. In the case of applying paint on a loose surface, the paint simply falls off with dirt or rust.
Sandblasting
The most effective method of cleaning metal before painting is sandblasting steel. This method consists in cleaning the surface with sand or fine abrasive, which is fed under high pressure. In a sense, the sandblasting resembles a car wash - the same process: the dirt from cars is removed by supplying water under high pressure.
A big plus of this treatment is that in the process, in addition to rust, all scale is removed from the metal surface. Of course, this effect can also be achieved by manual cleaning methods, but this will take significantly more time.
The disadvantage of such processing is its cost, as well as the fact that metal products must be transported to the workshop for processing. Of course, if you need to prepare the ordered gates or grilles for painting, transportation will not be a problem, and the costs will be low. But if it is necessary to do the same with gratings or a fence that has stood for a long time, the cost of dismantling and subsequent installation of products will be added to the costs.
Hamerayt paint: description
Hamerayt paint has a unique 3 in 1 formula, which provides a long-term and reliable coating for the metal to be painted. It includes a rust converter and a primer for metal, therefore, when painting, there is no need to use other primers and anti-corrosion coatings.
A huge advantage of this paint is the drying time of the coating, which is 20-30 minutes. The initial strength of the paint layer is after 3 hours from the time of application, the final properties - after 6 weeks.
"Hamerayt" can be applied to the surface with a brush, roller and spray method. Depending on the chosen method, 2 to 6 layers of paint are applied. And this must be done at intervals of 20-30 minutes. If time is missed, the paint will begin to harden and there will not be sufficient adhesion between the layers, which will significantly reduce the protective properties of the coating.
Paint Methods
Brush application. This method is suitable for painting small-sized metal products with a complex pattern, as well as flat surfaces. Hamerayt paint is applied in 2-3 layers. The solvent is added within 10% of the ink volume.
Application by roller. A great way to paint large flat surfaces. As with brush painting, it is applied in 2-3 layers. You can add no more than 10% solvent. Before starting the painting, you can paint with a brush all hard-to-reach spots, for example corners and joints, and then already start to process the main surface.
Spray application
The recommended ratio of paint to solvent is 2: 1. However, this recommendation is valid at an ambient temperature between 18-22 degrees. At a higher temperature, a higher solvent content may be necessary, since if the viscosity is excessive, the paint will dry out very quickly and fine spraying will begin to form on the surface to be painted.
In general, when using a spray gun, it is best to select the ratio of solvent to paint for yourself. Since in addition to the ambient temperature, this is influenced by both work experience and the type of surface to be painted.
The paint is applied in 4-5 layers with an interval of 20-30 minutes. It is important to remember that you can not pause between sets for more than 3 hours.
Hamerayt paint: reviews
Customer reviews can tell a lot about any product, and paintwork is no exception. There are many areas where Hamerayt is used. Feedback from people who used it is almost always positive. These paints are used both for private needs and in production. For example, many enterprises that manufacture metal structures use them to finish their products.
Hamerayt also has negative reviews. But they are most often associated with violations of the application technology. In fact, the Hamerayt paint, the colors of which have remained saturated for a long time, is able to delight consumers with the durability and durability of the coating.
