👷 Hammer paints, metal: corrosion protection and presentable appearance

If you need to paint the metal base, the surface of which there are traces of corrosion, so you need a hammer paint on metal. Carefully selected chemical composition and adherence application techniques allow to form high-quality coating. We offer to meet with popular brands and methods for applying such compositions.

Scope of paint with hammer effect

Hammer paint has a fairly extensive area of ​​use. It can be applied not only to metal, but other base: glass, tile, durable plastic. The composition may be applied inside and outside the building.

Most often with the help of her painted:

• electric, mechanical, and agricultural equipment;
• drains and flagpoles;
• garden equipment and tool;
• building construction, including metal doors,goal and fences;

• metal furniture;
• switchboards;
• vehicles. Protected body, discs and other items made of metal.

Composition hammer paint: main components

Basis dyes constitute hammer synthetic resin: acrylic or alkyd. To provide the desired set of properties added to them:

• fillers. As a rule, preference is given to aluminum powder, silica, glass powder, zinc phosphate;
• solvents. Advantageously, paraffinic compounds, and ketone;
• pigments. Introduction inorganic dyes prevents fading of the formed coating.

Attention! Forming the texture characteristic is provided by introducing into the hammer paint aluminum powder and selecting dyes.

Special features blacksmith paint

A distinctive feature of the hammer paints are protective functions. In most cases, it is used to protect the base metal from adverse external factors. At the same time, the unique texture of the formed coating allows to emphasize the elegance forged products. Although for decorative purposes hammer paint is used infrequently.

Color spectrum

Given that the hammer paint is mainly used to protect the base, originally color solutions offered by vendors were significantly limited. Over time, the situation has changed, and the color range has expanded considerably.

The most popular is the white, black, burgundy, gray and brown. Some formulations allow to generate a texture resembling natural stone or wood.

The main advantages and disadvantages of hammer paints, metal

The main advantages of the forge ink include:

Among the shortcomings should be noted:

leading manufacturers

Currently, high-quality products are offered by many manufacturers. The leading manufacturing companies should include:

• AkzoNobel. The company offers a Hammerite compounds that can be applied to various substrates, including galvanized;

• Dali. In the catalog you can find the manufacturer's formulations help protect from the harmful factors not only various kinds of metal, but also the timber with plastic;

• Alpina. Molded coatings show good adhesion to the substrate. Withstand exposure to moisture, oil, and a number of aggressive substances;

• Kudo. The paint in aerosol cans is well applied to various substrates.

Popular brands

With a large variety of compounds, offered by manufacturers, some brands are in steady demand. If you have not made your choice, offering to meet with the compositions, the quality you can trust.

Hammerite

Quality Hammer paint that can be applied directly to rust. It allows to form a coating with a manual embossing effect, providing a degree of protection of the metal base.

For complete drying the formed layer requires only 2 hour. Painting works can be performed over a wide temperature range from + 5 ° C to 30 ° C. different tools may be used for the application. The average consumption of 8-9 liters per m².

Reviews of paint on metal AkzoNobel «Hammerite»:

Tex RzhavStop 3 1

It can be applied to steel and iron surface on which there are traces of corrosion. Formed by coating to protect the substrate from adverse external factors. The average flow rate was 1 kg 10-15 m².

Attention! The composition may be applied to a wooden base.

"ML-165"

The composition of the alkyd-styrene-based. Formed coating demonstrated good adhesion to the substrate. Capable of withstanding temperatures up to + 130 ° C. It can be used for coloring surfaces inside and outside the building. Permissible application to a substrate, the affected by rust. The xylene is used as solvent.

Certa-Plast

The composition is presented in various colors. It can be applied to the surface with traces of rust. It shows high anti-corrosion properties. According to the manufacturer, the formed coating is able to last for 10 years at a temperature of from -60 ° C to + 150 ° C. different tools can be used for applying the composition.

Use hammer enamel Technology

To form a coating has served as long as possible, and possess the stated properties, you must carefully follow the application composition technology. We offer to get acquainted with the technological features and the requirements for carrying out the works.

flow calculation

The proposed formulations producers have different costs. For an accurate calculation of the required number should carefully examine the recommendations of the manufacturer. At the same time, be sure to take into account:

• temperature and humidity conditions;
• application method;
• surface condition.

Attention! On average, for the application of one layer on the base m² required 150 ml.

Preparation of the base for the application of the composition

Before the start of work should:

• remove from the surface all loose rust and remnants of the old paint. To do this, use the metal brush or a drill with an appropriate nozzle. The use of liquid washes;
• solvent degreased cleaned surface;
• explore the area to ensure there are no loose rust.

"Specify the conditions under which the manufacturer recommends applying makeup. In most cases, humidity should be 70% at a maximum temperature of + 5 ° C... + 30 ° C. "

application technique

a variety of tools and equipment can be used for applying the composition. On this depends the requirements for the paint itself, and application technique. We offer to meet with existing options.

Brush, roller and spray can

If the treated surface area is relatively small, you can use a brush with natural bristles. Use of synthetic bristle is undesirable, as it can be dissolved under the influence of the organic components contained in a hammer paint.

The coloring composition is applied without addition of solvent in 2-3 layers. The thickness of each should be minimal. Prior to application of the subsequent should give the previous dry for 2-4 hours depending on the manufacturer's recommendations.

Staining base starts from the corners and edges. Thereafter, the paint is applied to the mating surfaces.

More detail the application of technique is shown in the following video:

If the base area is larger, use a roller. The best option would be a tool having a pile length of 4-11 cm. The composition should be evenly distributed across the bottom. To this end, 9-10 parts of paint is added 1 part of solvent. For the formation of high quality coatings should be applied 3-4 coloring composition of the layer, as in diluted form hammer texture is formed much worse.

Attention! When prompted, wait about 5 minutes in the composition of air bubbles, until they disappear completely.

If you decide to use an aerosol spray, before the application of the composition of container thoroughly shaken. The nozzle is located at a distance of 15-20 cm from the ground. Total layer 4 to be applied, giving each sufficient time to dry.

Pneumatic airless spray gun and

If the treatment area is large enough, it is better to use special equipment, which should be set in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Composition pre-diluted solvent in a ratio of 8: 1 to 2: 1, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations.

"Check the composition of the readiness with a viscometer."

In the absence of this device should provide a viscosity of the solution at which the hammer with a wooden paint will not drip blade, and drain with a speed - 1 drop / sec. Additional filtering will allow to achieve optimal homogeneity.

Attention! When using the spray gun or overhead sprayers CMM is only about 50%.

To obtain a qualitative coating should form a 3-4 layer applied over the recommended time interval.
