RD-Monoguard Clear Satin
Technical sheetSatin quick-drying anti-rust primer/finish varnish, providing universal adhesion and exceptional performance.
This single-component water-based anti-rust paint is truly one of a kind.
This varnish boasts corrosion-resistant properties well above average, having undergone rigorous salt spray resistance testing. It is perfectly suited for protecting outdoor metal structures. Furthermore, it is available in three different finishes: matte, satin, and glossy.
RD-Monoguard Clear is the ideal solution for long-lasting protection of metal surfaces against corrosion when you want to preserve the visual appearance of raw steel, existing paint layers, or even existing rust.
When objects that need protection are exposed to more severe chemical or mechanical aggressions, such as exposure to chemicals, abrasion, or scratches, we recommend applying one or two coats of our two-component polyurethane varnish, RD-Hydrograff HP Clear, available in matte, satin, and glossy finishes.

Indicated consumption is theoretical and does not consider potential losses during application. It can also be influenced by the porosity of the substrate.
Application instructions
APPLICATION CONDITIONS:
Ambient temperature: minimum 5° C (41°F) – Optimal between 12° and 25°C (54° and 77°F).
Relative humidity: maximum 80 %
Surface temperature must be minimum 3°C (5°F) above dew point.
APPLICATION MEANS:
Brush, roller or airless (nozzle size: 010–012)
Application by airless is recommended and makes it easier to reach the recommended thicknesses. Use a device that allows a minimum pressure of 70-150 bar / 1000 - 2000 psi at the outlet.
PREPARATION OF THE SUBSTRATE:
The substrate must be clean: dry, degreased and dust free. Non adhering elements such as older coatings or rust must be removed.
Different type of surface preparation is possible:
1/ Remove rust manually or by power tool to ST2 – ISO 8501-1/SSPC SP2 or SP3.
2/ Blasting to SA 2½ - ISO 8501-1/NACE3/SSPC SP6.
3/ High pressure washing following SSPC SP12 WJ4.
DILUTION:
Product is ready-for-use. Dilute with maximum 3% water when applying by airless or in warm weather conditions (> 25°C / > 77°F).
DRYING TIME (20°C - 68°F):
Touch dry: +/- 1 hour depending on thickness
Recoatable: +/- 2 hours depending on film thickness
Possible to apply wet on wet in special conditions.
CLEANING OF TOOLS:
Water
SPECIFICITIES:
Mix well before use.
