The adhesion of Ferrex Aqua on zinc-coated (galvanized) surfaces as well as on prefabrication primers is also excellent. Ideal for metal gates, railings and more.
Ferrex Aqua can be overcoated with nearly all Teknos water- and solvent-borne paints for sheet-iron roofs, furniture and houses. It has moderate weather resistance and it can also be left without a top coat.

Old, glossy surfaces are roughened using sanding, blast-cleaning or other suitable method. Loose and poorly adherent old paint or coating is removed. Aluminium surfaces are roughened using sanding, blast-cleaning or other suitable method.
Before use stir the paint thoroughly and apply by brush or spray. The recommended nozzle size for airless spray is 0.011 – 0.015''.
