Outdoor unit painting

Product catalog summary
Overview: This manual provides comprehensive guidelines for painting rooftop outdoor units, emphasizing energy-saving and structural protection measures such as anti-rust, thermal insulation, and anti-fouling. It includes detailed specifications, procedures, and recommendations for effective application.
Painting Work Considerations:
  • Avoid painting in rainy conditions or when surfaces are wet. Ensure surfaces are dry before starting.
  • Remove contaminants like grease, oil, and moss from surfaces.
  • Do not paint if the temperature is below 5°C or humidity is above 85%.
  • Prepare protective coverings and ensure access routes are clear.
  • Document the site with photos before and after painting for comparison.
  • Ensure a power supply for mixing paint; use a generator if necessary.
  • Seal unused paint cans tightly to prevent evaporation.
Application Tools and Equipment:
  • Field survey tools include steel tape measures and masking tape.
  • Material storage requires items like cameras, cones, and curing sheets.
  • Cleaning tools include scrapers, air blowers, and pressure washers.
  • Painting tools include various brushes, rollers, and mixing equipment for both solvent and water-based paints.
Painting Process:
  • Conduct abrasive cleaning to remove rust and improve adhesion.
  • Perform high-pressure washing and protect areas with masking tape.
  • Mix paint thoroughly, maintaining the correct ratios and avoiding air bubbles.
  • Apply Rust Shield as an anti-rust base coat, ensuring surfaces are dry and clean.
  • Use Thermo ECO Shield for middle and top coats, ensuring even application and proper thickness.
  • Apply an anti-fouling coat with Super Glass Barrier, ensuring complete coverage.
Additional Notes:
  • Ensure optimal substrate temperature is below 30°C for the Super Glass Barrier application.
  • Use appropriate rollers and brushes based on surface size and texture.
  • Be cautious around screws and other small components to avoid paint coverage.
Coating Application Guidelines:
Preparation and Storage: To ensure optimal coating results, slightly increase the amount of coating if the glass surface is hot. Store the coating liquid in a cooler box with ice or in a refrigerator to delay volatilization and promote densification of the coating film.
Application Notes: Avoid applying the coating under direct sunlight to prevent rapid volatilization. Consider using a windshield to reduce wind exposure, which can affect the volatilization rate and result in poor coating quality. High substrate temperatures can cause premature volatilization, leading to cavities and a white appearance due to diffused reflection.
Post-Application Care: Do not apply the coating if rain or snow is expected within 12 hours, as this can reduce adhesion and durability. For glass and mirrors, maintain by washing with water only, avoiding detergents that can reduce the ultra-hydrophilic effect.
General Precautions: During high-pressure washing, protect circuitry from water damage. Use protective coverings to prevent paint splatter and ensure proper masking to avoid residue from strong adhesive tapes. Verify film thickness with a gauge and recoat if necessary. Ensure no streaks or unpainted areas remain, and cover screw holes to prevent paint coverage.
Additional Tips: When covering outdoor units, avoid painting over them or ensure seal marks are visible. Take photos before removal to confirm covered areas.

Notes / Precautions / Cautions. ◆ Points to note for painting work◆ ① If there is a possibility of rain, please avoid painting. On the day of painting, please confirm that the surface is not wet. If it is wet, wipe it off with a cloth and allow it to dry sufficiently.。 ②Please remove grease, oil, lifted paint film, bird droppings, and moss adhering to the surface. ③If the temperature is 5℃ or below or the humidity is 85% or higher, please avoid painting. (During the winter season, the application time is approximately from 10 am to 3 pm. Please especially make sure that the dew on the roof has...

Types of equipment for use (distinguishing between solvent-based and water-based): Types of rollers: 1. Roller widths vary between approximately 100mm, 180mm, and 230mm, with no standardized specifications, and there may be slight variations depending on the manufacturer. In general, when painting a large surface, use a wide roller, and when painting narrow areas, use a narrow roller. Please choose the type that is easy to use. 2.There are also different types of roller diameters to choose from. A standard roller with an inner diameter of around 38mm is commonly used. Rollers with an inner diameter...

Cleaning and protective covering work. ① Abrasive cleaning ③ Protection by Masking tape We perform abrasive cleaning on the exterior surfaces of outdoor units, the floor area, and surrounding equipment to remove rust and improve paint adhesion. For older outdoor units with chalking surfaces due to their age, we conduct thorough abrasive cleaning. Additionally, we use a blower to remove dust as needed. 。 We conduct high-pressure washing on the floor surfaces and perform water washing with a brush on the surrounding equipment, using reduced water pressure. If drainage is poor and drying is slow,...

Anti-Rust Base Coat ‘Rust Shield' Painting ◆Preparation of Paint◆ Mix the base material and hardener for approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds, stirring thoroughly. The mixing ratio is 6 base material to 1 hardener by weight. For example, when preparing 2800g, use 2400g of base material and 400g of hardener. If the working environment is unfavorable and the mixture feels too viscous, consider adding 3-5% of epoxy thinner. For instance, for 2800g, add 5% (140g), resulting in a total of 2940g. During stirring, please be careful to avoid creating unevenness and air bubbles in the mixture. The standard...

Painting Rust Shield(In the case of Rust, painting twice) Regarding the painting method: 1. When painting the outdoor unit and the foldable roof, always start by painting the outdoor unit and the area around it. Then, proceed to paint the roof section. Be sure to take measures to prevent the paint container from getting too hot, such as using aluminum or stainless steel tape to avoid temperature rise. 2. A wet state with a film thickness of 75μ or more is required. Use a film thickness gauge to check whether the painting is being done at the appropriate film thickness. Note: For areas with rust,...

Painting Thermo ECO Shield( Middle coat and topcoat ) **Paint Mixing Instructions:** Due to the high amount of hollow beads, there may be a solid layer of hollow beads formed at the top 5cm of the paint after opening. However, by thoroughly mixing, the paint can be restored to a clean state.If it is challenging to break through the bead layer with the mixer's blades and reach the resin layer, you can use tools like a paddle to dig into it. Please be cautious not to scatter the beads when doing so. Once you have broken through the bead layer and the mixer reaches the bottom, continue mixing thoroughly...

Painting Thermo ECO Shield( Middle coat and topcoat ) **Painting Method:** - One can of paint is typically sufficient for covering an area of 50 square meters with two coats (300g per square meter). Choose the appropriate roller or brush size to match the site's requirements. - Between the first intermediate coat application and the second coat application, it may take 0.5-1 hour in summer and 2-3 hours in winter. The first coat may exhibit unevenness, but it becomes less noticeable after the second coat. - When painting around screws, be careful not to cover them, or use masking tape to protect...
