About Asfocoat Pre Treatment Chemical
SCALGUN-B
(For Degreasing & Derusting at Low Temperature)
SCALGUN-B is an aqueous inhibited acidic mixture, soluble in varying proportions with water. It is a very effective degreaser cum deruster for iron & steel surfaces at low temperature. It has very good penetrating power to disintegrate and dissolve, machine oils, light greases, lubricants as well as rust or scales; either be dipping process or by swabbing.
APPLICATIONS:
Although SCALGUN-B is an excellent remover of light grease and oil, usually heavy soil contamination should be removed first either in kerosene or by manually wiping off with a cloth soaked in SCALGUN-B solution. Similarly surfaces having extremely heavy rust formation should be removed mechanically or by means of wire brush during dipping method.
DIPPING METHOD:
The following parameters should be followed depending on soil contamination, cycle time, etc. Actual parameters should be set after conducting initial trials.
| Concentration | Temperature | Time |
| 10% - 25% (v/v) | R.T. - 45°C | 5-30 minutes |
v/v = volume by volume; R.T. = Room Temperature
Please note that time temperature and concentration are interdependent on each other, thus set the parameters accordingly.
EQUIPMENT :
Plastic or FRP lined M.S. tanks/containers should be used. Where heating of the bath is required then ptfe coated electric immersion heater should be used or external heating can be employed, but care should be taken that temperature does not exceed 45°C.
SWABBING/BRUSHING
Concentration:- For heavy contamination : 1:1 or 1:2 with water
For medium contamination : 1:3 or 1:4 with water
For light contamination : 1:5 or 1:6 with water

FAQs of Asfocoat Pre Treatment Chemical:
Q: How do I apply Asfocoat Pre Treatment Chemical to concrete surfaces?
A: To apply Asfocoat Pre Treatment Chemical, first ensure the surface is clean and free of dust, debris, or oil. Use a brush, roller, or sprayer to uniformly spread the liquid. Allow it to penetrate and dry as instructed before proceeding with waterproofing or coating.
Q: What is the main benefit of using this pre treatment chemical before waterproofing?
A: Applying Asfocoat Pre Treatment Chemical significantly enhances the adhesion of subsequent coatings or waterproofing layers to concrete or cementitious substrates, resulting in longer-lasting and more reliable surface protection.
Q: When should Asfocoat Pre Treatment Chemical be used during the construction process?
A: This chemical should be used after surface cleaning and before the application of any coating or waterproofing product. It is an essential preparatory step to ensure proper bonding and performance of the final finish.
Q: Where can Asfocoat Pre Treatment Chemical be used effectively?
A: Asfocoat Pre Treatment Chemical is ideal for use on construction and infrastructure sites, including basements, rooftops, water tanks, and other concrete or cementitious surfaces requiring surface preparation before coating.
Q: What is the process for preparing and using the solution?
A: Asfocoat Pre Treatment Chemical is ready to use and should not be diluted, as it is completely soluble in water. Simply pour from the HDPE drum and apply directly to the intended substrate using suitable application equipment.
Q: What is the recommended storage condition for this chemical?
A: Store Asfocoat Pre Treatment Chemical in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or sources of heat to maintain product stability and effectiveness.
Q: Is this product compatible with all types of concrete and cementitious substrates?
A: Yes, Asfocoat Pre Treatment Chemical is formulated for broad compatibility and performs reliably on most cement-based and concrete surfaces, making it suitable for diverse surface preparation needs in industrial or construction settings.
