SURFACE PREPARATION
GlowMax Industrial Glow in the Dark coating must be applied
over Industrial Choice ® Flat White finish, product #5290402, in
order to optimize photo luminescent properties. See the Industrial
Choice Technical Data Sheet, form #2039990, for product detail.
ALL SURFACES: Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical
contaminants by washing the surface with Pure Strength ®
Cleaner/Degreaser item #3599402, commercial detergent or
other suitable cleaner. Mold and mildew must be cleaned with a
chlorinated cleaner or bleach solution. Rinse thoroughly with fresh
water and allow to fully dry. All surfaces must be dry at time of
application.
STEEL: Hand tool (SSPC-SP-2) or power tool (SSPC-SP-3) clean to
remove loose rust, mill scale, and deteriorated existing coatings.
Steel surfaces should be primed with either 5269402 Red Primer
or 5281402 Gray Primer for optimal performance.
CONCRETE AND MASONRY: Hand or power tool clean to remove
all loose or unsound concrete, masonry, or previous coating. Very
dense, non-porous concrete should be acid etched or abrasive
blasted to remove the laitance layer and create a surface profile.
Allow new concrete to cure for 30 days before coating.
PREVIOUSLY COATED: Previously coated surfaces must be
sound and in good condition. Smooth, hard, or glossy finishes
should be scarified by sanding to create a surface profile. The
GlowMax Industrial Luminescent Acrylic Enamel is compatible
with most coatings, but a test patch is suggested. Removal of
old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate
dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust or fumes
may cause adverse effects, especially in children or pregnant
women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous
substances requires the use of proper protective equipment,
such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH-approved) and proper
containment and cleanup. For additional information, contact the
U.S.EPA/Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD.

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)
MIXING
Thoroughly stir material prior to use to ensure all of the
photoluminescent pigment is completely dispersed. Stir
material periodically during application.
APPLICATION
Apply only when the air and surface temperatures are between
50-100°F (10-38°C) and the surface temperature is at least
5°F (3°C) above the dew point. The relative humidity should not
be greater than 85%. Extremely high or low relative humidity
can effect dry times and the final gloss of the coating.
Apply 5290 Flat White base coat. Apply 2 coats of GlowMax
Industrial Glow in the Dark coating. Do not exceed the
recommended film thickness per coat.
EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
BRUSH/ROLLER: Use a good quality synthetic brush or 3/8" nap
roller cover.
