Devcon Flexane Primer Metal FL-10

Devcon Flexane Primer Metal FL-10

Flexane Primers provide maximum
adhesion of all Flexane products to the
substrate.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

Apply to metals, concrete, rubber,
wood, fibreglass and previously
applied Flexane.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

SURFACE PREPARATION

CLEANING RUBBER

• If the rubber surface is oily or greasy, use Devcon Fast
  Cleaner 2000 Spray/Cleaner Blend 300 with an abrasive
  pad to cleanse the surface.
• After the recommended method of degreasing, coarse
  sanding (16 or 24 grit) of the rubber surface is done to
  produce a good ’surface profile’. Oils and contaminants
  that are imbedded into the rubber surface are usually
  released at this time.
• A coarse sanding disk (16 or 24 grit) is excellent for
  abrading any rubber surface.

CLEANING METAL

• If the metal surface is oily or greasy, use Devcon Fast
  Cleaner 2000 Spray/Cleaner Blend 300 to cleanse the
  surface.
• After this recommended method of cleaning, abrasive
  blasting is done to the surface to produce a good
  ’surface profile’. Oils and contaminants usually get
  embedded into the surface, and do not wash away
  with degreasing. Use a 24 - 40 grit or coarser abrasive
  for this process.
• If you cannot abrasive blast the substrate, you may use
  a coarse sandpaper (60 grit or coarser) to achieve the
  desired surface.
• Always try to make the repair as soon as possible after
  cleaning the substrate to avoid oxidation or flash rusting.
  Immediately coating the metal with FL-10 Primer will keep
  the metal surfaces from rusting.

CLEANING CONCRETE

Concrete being a very porous substrate requires multiple
cleaning. Degrease the area with Devcon Fast Cleaner
2000 Spray/Cleaner Blend 300 and rinse the area. A power
washer or steam cleaner is useful for quicker and efficient
cleaning. Let the floor dry thoroughly before applying Primer
and Flexane.

APPLICATION

Many field applications using Devcon’s Flexane technology
are unsuccessful because the technician fails to use the
proper primers to adhere the Flexane to the substrate.
There are two different priming systems to use when
applying Flexane. They are as follows:

• METAL SURFACES: Use 2 coats Devcon’s FL-10 Primer to
  coat all metal substrates; this includes Stainless Steel and
  Aluminum.
• RUBBER SURFACES: Use Devcon’s FL-20 Primer to coat
  all gum rubbers, neoprene and cured urethanes.
• IMMERSION SUBSTRATES: Use both Primers FL-10 and
  FL-20 to coat any metal substrate that will be immersed in
  any aqueous solution. First apply the FL-10 Primer and let
  it dry for 60 minutes. Next coat with the FL-20 Primer. Let it
  dry for 30 minutes before applying the Flexane material.
• CONCRETE: Use Devcon’s FL-20 Primer to coat this
  substrate. Concrete being a very ’porous’ substrate may
  need multiple coats of FL-20 Primer for proper adhesion.
  Let the Primer dry for 30 minutes between coats.
• WOOD & FIBREGLASS: Use Devcon’s FL-20 Primer for all
  wood products. The softwoods will need 2 coats of Primer
  because of their absorption characteristics.

It should be noted that applying two coats of FL-10 Primer
to metal substrates will improve the adhesion over a one
coat priming system. Each container of Flexane Primer
covers approximately 1sq. meter.
For all other substrates please consult Devcon for information
on their range of Primers and correct application procedures.

SHELF LIFE & STORAGE

Devcon Primer’s FL-10 & FL-20 should be stored in a cool
dry place when not used for a long period of time. A shelf life
of 2 years from date of manufacture can be expected
for the FL-10 and 1 year from date of manufacture for the
FL-20, when stored at room temperature (22ºC) in their
original containers.
