Protective Base Coating for Industrial Surface Preparation
ALTIC BASE COAT is a protective intermediate coating designed to form an important layer within a multi-coat industrial painting and surface protection system. It provides a suitable base for subsequent protective topcoats while supporting adhesion, surface protection and long-term coating performance.
A properly selected base coat helps create a consistent coating system between the prepared substrate and the final topcoat. ALTIC Base Coat can be incorporated into industrial maintenance, fabrication and protective coating applications where an intermediate protective layer is required.
Key Features & Benefits
- Provides a protective base layer within a coating system
- Supports adhesion between coating layers
- Helps create a uniform surface for subsequent topcoats
- Suitable for industrial maintenance and protection applications
- Helps improve the overall integrity of multi-coat systems
- Can be used as part of a properly specified protective coating system
- Supports long-term surface protection when applied according to specification
Recommended Applications
ALTIC Base Coat can be considered for suitable applications involving:
- Industrial steel structures
- Metal fabrication
- Machinery and equipment
- Pipelines and supports
- Industrial buildings and facilities
- Structural components
- Maintenance and refurbishment projects
- General protective coating systems
Surface Preparation
Surface preparation is essential for achieving good coating performance.
Before application:
- Remove dirt, dust, grease, oil and other contaminants.
- Remove loose rust, mill scale and poorly bonded existing coatings as required.
- Prepare the substrate using the specified mechanical or abrasive preparation method.
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry and suitable for coating.
- Apply the recommended primer where required.
- Apply ALTIC Base Coat according to the product-specific application instructions.
The required surface preparation should be selected according to the substrate and service environment.
Application Procedure
ALTIC Base Coat should be thoroughly mixed before application where required by the product specification.
Apply using an appropriate method such as brush, roller or spray, depending on the product formulation and project requirements.
Maintain the specified coating thickness and allow adequate drying or curing between coats. The final topcoat should only be applied after the base coat has reached the required recoat condition.
Typical Coating System
Surface Preparation → Primer → ALTIC Base Coat → Protective Topcoat
The exact number of coats, dry film thickness, thinner requirement, drying time and compatible topcoat should be confirmed from the latest ALTIC technical documentation.
Industrial Protection
In a multi-layer coating system, each coating performs a specific function. The base coat provides an intermediate protective layer and creates a suitable foundation for the final coating.
The complete system should be selected according to factors such as:
- Substrate type
- Corrosion exposure
- Indoor or outdoor service
- Chemical exposure
- Operating temperature
- Required durability
- Final appearance
Important Application Note
ALTIC Base Coat should be used only on compatible substrates and with compatible coating systems. Do not assume compatibility with another manufacturer’s primer or topcoat without confirmation.
For project-specific application, always refer to the latest Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for exact specifications, coverage, application procedure, drying time, recoat interval and safety requirements.
Safety & Handling
Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application. Ensure adequate ventilation and follow the product label and SDS for handling, storage and disposal requirements.
Why Choose ALTIC Base Coat?
ALTIC Base Coat can be incorporated into industrial coating systems where an intermediate protective layer is required between the prepared substrate and final protective finish. When combined with suitable surface preparation, primer and topcoat selection, it supports a systematic approach to industrial surface protection.
