6.5. All sharp and edge shall radius min 2 mm ( see point 7.3 & 7.4)
7. Surface Preparation
7.1. Before commencing of work and / or following to surface shall be cleaned, removed
slag, foreign matter including with existing Paint such as single component coating
e.g. Bituminous, Alumunium silicone, Alkyd, etc shall removed out with used wire
brush and / or equivalent recommendation from Manufacture.
7.2. For maintenance reason, where existing steel work had been painted should
sanding down to rough up with 100 – 150 grit sand paper or sponge or to insure
proper RUST BULLET adhesion.
7.3. Before application RUST BULLET, substrate to be painted should be free from
slivers, burs, spatter, under cut and other imperfections prior to paint and/or
re - paint conducted.
7.4. All surface must be free of loose rust, moisture,dirt,milew,oily substances, wax,
loose paint, and loose particle.

Procedure
7.6. The surface to be coated must be completely dry, any large flakes of rust should be
scrapped or wire brush off .
7.7. Before running out RBT applied may solvent test ( Rub test ) shall conducted for
ensure generic coating resistance especially for liquid coating type.
7.8. Painted surfaces should be tested on a small area for lifting or cracking to assure
adhesion of the existing coating they are can be tested following to ASTM D 3359
for a minimum thickness also for thickness up to 250 micron can be tested
according to ASTM D 4541 with a minimum acceptance following to new
construction.
7.9. If necessary solvent cleaning is used for removing oil, grease, waxes, and other
solvent-soluble matter from surfaces.
7.10. Solvents rapidly become contaminated with oils and grease since they clean by
dissolving and diluting contaminants, mineral spirits is effective in most solvent
cleaning operations. SSPC SP 1 describes recommended industry practices for
cleaning steel using solvents.
7.11. Before solvent washing, any soil, cement splatter, or other dry contaminants must
first be removed, the procedure for solvent washing is too wet the surface with
solvent by spraying or wiping with rags wet with solvent; wipe the surface with rags;
and make a final rinse with fresh solvent
7.12. VOC (Volatile organic Compound) rules may prohibit or limit the use of solvent
cleaning, the local environmental and safety office should be consulted before
using or specifying solvent cleaning.
7.13. Hand tools include wire brushes, scrapers, abrasive pads, chisels, knifes, and
chipping hammers following to SSPC SP 2 & 3 describes standard industrial hand-
tool cleaning practices for steel.
7.14. Hand cleaning is not considered an appropriate procedure for removing tight mill
scale or all traces of rust and paint. It is slow and, as such, is primarily
recommended for direct applied in areas where deterioration is not a serious factor
or in areas inaccessible to power tools.
7.15. If RUST BULLET will be apply on to accessible area such as corner from surface
steel structure shall sanding see section 7.6
8.1. RUST BULLET NO require to thinning and / or mixing with solvent it’s coating type

10. RUST BULLET Application
10.1. In line RUST BULLET Application all welding line especially will corrosion arising
the stripe coat shall be conducted.
10.2. RUST BULLET recommend dry film thickness is 150 – 175 micron / 6 – 7 mils
(applied in 50 – 75 micron 2 – 4 mils wet coats) avoid excessive films.
10.3. RUST BULLET shall recoat ability after 2 – 72 hours, others coating after 24 hours
and cure time varies with Relative Humidity, temperature and thickness of film
24 – 72 hours.
10.4. For maximum rust prevention, ensure corners, edges, and heavily pitted areas area
adequately coated. The final coat of RUST BULLET may be top coated after
24 hours with almost any paint if a different color is needed or desire.
10.5. When applying RUST BULLET, it is recommended that the air or surface
temperature not below 2 0C or above 43 0C.
10.6. Cure time varies based on relative humidity and temperature of the surface : 80 %
in 4 hours, fully cure in 72 hours.
0 0
10.7. Ideal application temperature is between 10 C and 27 C with humidity
below 90 % to ensure proper drying.
10.8. DO NOT apply to surfaces when the existing temperature of the surface exceeds
90 0C or is below 0C.
10.10.RUST BULLET covers approximately 200 square feet per gallon with two coat
application, depending on type and condition of the surface, its critical that least
two coats of RUST BULLET be applied, dry film thickness (dry coat thickness) of
75 micron / 3 mils for comparison purposes, 100 micron / 4 mils is approximately
the thickness of one sheet of standard paper.
10.11.It is particularly important that the first coat be generous enough to soak through
the rust to the steel or iron underneath.
10.12.Second coat of RUST BULLET must be applied completely seal the first coat; this
cannot be done with any other material paint or coating material.
Page 9 of 19
PT. NATIONAL ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Application Instruction
New Construction & Maintenance
Procedure
10.13.RUST BULLET recommends that the coverage in micron / mils be a finished dry
film thickness of 75 micron / 3 mils applied two time between coats is
approximately two to four hour.
10.14.Applying RUST BULLET in overly thick coats could be cause small bubble to form
in coating as it start to cure. Carbon dioxide gas is released during the curing
process an may become trapped in an overly thick coat.
10.15.Several coat in applied in a cross hatch method (up and down, side to side) will
produce the best result.
10.16.When applying additional coats of RUST BULLET the previous coat of RUST
BULLET should not be wet tacky; if unable to transfer RUST BULLET to a glove
finger then it is safe to apply an additional coat.
10.17.When applying RUST BULLET over existing paint or primers that can not be
scrapped off, it is very important to rough up the surface with 100 to 150 grit sand
paper, sanding sponge or scuff pad prior to the application of RUST BULLET.
10.18.RUST BULLET has a service temperature range of 157 0C continuous, and can be
tolerate temperature spikes of up to 371 0C for up to 24 hours periods.
10.19.Also applies to a previous coat of RUST BULLET if 72 hours have lapsed between
additional coats or the application of a top coat.
10.20.Immediately after use, spray equipment must be cleaned with xylene, acetone, or
toluene.
11.1. If the project engineering require to site weld and /or field weld or prefabrication
structure,Tank course, pipe,etc the surface of steel work no mandatory to require
free painting (uncoated surface ). Its just will be defect in line welding current
process.
11.2. The surface can be fully coated with RBT, just weld area will be defect and easy to
clean with the cotton, repair immediately.

and apply with air less spray system.
12.1.2. Inspect all spray equipment and ensure it is clean and in good working order.
12.1.3. Flush xylene or toluene through with spray equipment to remove any existing
moisture or alcohol from previous coatings or solvent.
12.1.4. DO NOT re – circulate solvent through pump, as the solvent will be contaminated
with moisture and debris. Draw solvent from one container and flush into another.
12.1.5. NEVER allow old solvent in the coating lines to enter RUST BULLET.
12.1.6. Standard RUST BULLET ( gold label ) is formulate to work well with Airless Spray
system using a 517 or 519 tip, and an approximate 2400 psi.
12.1.8. Ensure that minimum cure times are followed for recoat. Published cure times
(under normal weather condition) are recommended per coat as specified on the
data sheet.
12.1.9. When excessive wet film is applied, additional cure time will be necessary.
12.2.1. Generally conventional procedure are same for air less spray. Use xylene or
toluene for flushing equipment prior to application and for clean up.
12.2.2. If necessary apply small “ float “ of xylene or toluene over the RUST BULLET in
the paint pot prior to sealing.
12.2.4. DO NOT agitate in pressure pot. The float solvent must not be mixed with
RUST BULLET; its only purposes is to keep air from coming into contact with
RUST BULLET in the paint pot for the duration of application.

New Construction & Maintenance
Procedure
12.2.8. Use 15 – 20 psi pot pressure. DO NOT agitate in pressure pot, PT. NATIONAL
ENERGY SOLUTION recommended straining through a nylon bag strainer.
12.3.1. HVLP may be use as well , 20 – 50 pounds with a 1.0 to 1.7 tip
12.3.2. RUST BULLET Automotive (Silver Label) is formulated slightly thinner to flow
smoothly through HVLP automotive finishing guns and produces a finish
comparable to Powder Coating. Its best use a gravity feed HVLP.
12.3.3. Three coats of RUST BULLET Automotive should sprayed two to three hours
apart using the HVLP system to achieve the recommended Dry Film Thickness.
12.3.4. When spray equipment is idle for more then 15 minutes, its necessary to resume
painting or flush with solvent. It necessary to lay tip of sprayer in solvent to keep
from curing.
12.4.2. Pay special attention when bush applying RUST BULLET to prevent brush stroke
in the film.
12.4.3. When spraying. Rolling or Brushing it is important to keep wet edge, RUST
BULLET should be applied evenly without build up using the cross hatch method
( an up and down and side to side motion).
12.4.4. Applying RUST BULLET in overly thick uneven coats could produce small bubbles
in the finished coating due the carbon dioxide gas that is released as
RUST BULLET cure.
13.1. Always prevent rain, mist, or sweat from falling directly into an open can of RUST
BULLET, A plastic, cardboard, or metal cover is a always a good practice.

Procedure
13.2. When saving partial cans, always lay a plastic sheet on the remaining material,
then reseal.
13.3. When done this way, any partial RUST BULLET can be saved , if skin forms on the
surface of the material in the can remove from container and dispose of properly,
stir until uniform. Strain if necessary.
14.1. Never allow sweat, rain or mist to fall into RUST BULLET
14.2. DONOT open the can of RUST BULLET until ready to use and / or Applied on the
material surface.
14.3. Never over stir, entrap, or whip air onto RUST BULLET.
14.4. For clean up use only xylene, acetone, or toluene, NEVER ALLOW lacquer thinner,
vinyl, thinner, epoxy solvent, or any alcohol or un approved solvent to enter
RUST BULLET.
14.5. Never neglect to purge all paints, moisture, or debris from equipment before
spraying RUST BULLET. Spray equipment must be cleaned with xylene,acetone,
or toluene immediately after use.
14.6. Never apply RUST BULLET while raining or under threat of rain.

New Construction & Maintenance
Procedure
15.1. Use xylene, acetone or toluene DO NOT make assumption about other clean up
solvent RUST BULLET customer support. Even every small contamination of
RUST BULLET with alcohol or other hydroxyl –containing solvent can destroy the
moisture – cure reaction partly or entirely without any indication or jellying.
15.2. Always flush equipment clean. DO NOT leave residue as it will harden and become
insoluble in solvent. Clean equipment with any typical two component catalyzed
coating.
15.3. Clean brush or Roller thoroughly or throw them a way after use.
15.4. Dunking dirty equipment in solvent will not prevent the coating from curing over
night. Avoid contact with skin or clothing. Only be removed with rigorous abrasive
action.
15.5. After drying RUST BULLET that has dried on the skin will wear off in about week.
15.6. Care should be taken to ensure the new unopened containers or left – over partial
container are kept sealed. Heavy duty plastic Wrap can be placed over the top of
the remaining RUST BULLET with the excess plastic exceeding beyond the rim of
the container. This will displace as much air as possible from the remaining RUST
BULLET and will help prevent the lid from permanently sealing closed.
15.7. RUST BULLET is moisture sensitive. It is recommended to limit the time the
container is opened. Transfer only amount needed for the application of each coat.
15.8. Immediately wipe clean any RUST BULLET from the rim of the container and
reseal. This should be done every time in line RUST BULLET applied an in
between coats. Never pour RUST BULLET that has been exposed to air and
moisture back into the container with unused RUST BULLET.
15.9. If skin has formed in a new, unopened container or a sealed container, remove by
cutting edge of skin at the skin/container surface. Discard the skin properly, stir
until uniform. Filter if necessary and apply.
15.10.RUST BULLET is packaged in unlined paint, cans. If for any reason RUST BULLET
is transferred to another container; clean unlined, paint cans ( or similar unlined
metal containers) must be used.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Updated February 8, 2010
Acute Inhalation: Inhalation can cause severe irritation of mucous membranes and upper respiratory
tract. Symptoms may include burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath,
headache, nausea and vomiting. High concentrations may cause lung damage. An irritant to the
nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract. Exposure to high concentrations have a narcotic effect and
may cause liver and kidney damage. Persons with a preexisting, nonspecific bronchial hyperactivity
can respond to concentrations below the TLV with similar symptoms as well as an asthma attack.
Exposure well above the TLV may lead to bronchitis, bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema (fluid in
lungs). These effects are usually reversible. Chemical or hypersensitive pneumonitis, with flu-like
symptoms (e.g. fever, chills) has also been reported.
Chronic Inhalation: As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose, certain
individuals may develop isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma) which will cause them to react to
later exposure to isocyanate at levels well below the TLV. These symptoms, which include: chest
tightness, wheezing, cough, shortness of breath or asthmatic attack, could be immediate or delayed
up to several hours after exposure. Similar to many non-specific asthmatic responses, there are
reports that once sensitized; an individual can experience these symptoms upon exposure to dust,
cold air or other irritants. This increased lung sensitivity can persist for weeks and in severe cases for
several years. Chronic overexposure to isocyanates has also been reported to cause lung damage,
including decrease in lung function, which may be permanent. Chronic exposure to organic solvents
has been associated with various neurotoxic effects including permanent brain and nervous system
damage. Symptoms include loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability and loss of coordination.
Ingestion: Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea.
Skin Contact: Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. Repeated or
prolonged contact with the skin has a defatting effect and may cause dryness, cracking, and
possibly dermatitis.
Chronic Exposure: Chronic overexposure may cause anemia with leukocytosis (transient increase
in the white blood cell count) and damage to the liver and kidneys.
Carcinogenicity: None of the components of this product are listed by the NTP, IARC, or regulated
by OSHA as carcinogens.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Asthma and other respiratory disorders (bronchitis,
emphysema, hyper reactivity), skin allergies, eczema.
Exposure Limits: Not established for product as a whole. Refer to Section II for exposure limits of
hazardous constituents

Sealed containers may rupture when heated. Sensitive to static discharge.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide. Water may be
ineffective. Water spray may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool.
Dry chemical (e.g. monoammonium phosphate, potassium sulfate, and potassium chloride), carbon
dioxide, high expansion (proteinic) chemical foam.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Full emergency equipment with self-contained breathing apparatus
and full protective clothing should be worn by fire fighters. During a fire, MDI vapors and other irritating,
highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. At temperatures greater
o o
than 400 F, (204 C.) polymeric MDI can polymerize and decompose which can cause pressure build up
in closed containers. Explosive rupture is possible.

Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-
contained breathing apparatus with full face-piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive
pressure mode. Water may be used to flush spills away from exposures and to dilute spills to non-
flammable mixtures. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected
personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and
equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g.,
vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible
materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting
spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities. The toll free number for
the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424-8802. If a leak or spill has not ignited,
use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel attempting to stop leak, and to flush
spills away from exposures.
Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away from any area where
the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Separate from incompatibles.
Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas
should be No Smoking areas. Use non-sparking type tools and equipment, including explosion proof
ventilation. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues
(vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Vigorous stirring and flow thought the piping and equipment might cause the formation and accumulation
of electrostatic charge due to the low conductivity of the product. In order to avoid the risk of fire
outbreak and explosion never use compressed air during movement.
HANDLING (PERSONNEL): Handle in accordance with good hygiene and safety procedures. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. When transferring materials
ground and bond containers, use spark proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Since empty
containers contain product residue, follow all hazard warnings and precautions even after container
is emptied. Keep away from sources of ignition.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
Protect against physical damage. Isolate from any source of heat or ignition. Avoid dust dispersal.
Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust,
solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the
Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the
emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please
refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent
edition, for details.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or
coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage. Heat will contribute to instability. Slowly
decomposed by moisture.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide may form when heated to
decomposition.

Hazardous Polymerization: May occur. Contact with moisture and other materials which react with
isocyanates or temperatures over 400oF. (204oC.) may cause polymerization..
Incompatibilities: Avoid heat, flame and other sources of ignition. Contact with nitrates, strong
oxidizers, strong alkalis, or strong acids may cause fire and explosions. Water may react to form carbon
dioxide. Will attack some forms of plastic, rubber, and coatings.
Conditions to Avoid: Avoid contact with water Can cause some corrosion to copper alloys and
aluminum.
Acute effects: stinging eyes. Symptoms may include: rubescence, edema, pain and lachrymation.
Vapor inhalation may moderately irritate the upper respiratory trait. Contract with skin may cause
slight irritation. Ingestion may cause health problems including stomach pain and sting, nausea and
sickness.
This product may have a degreasing action on the skin, producing dryness and chapped skin after
repeated exposure.
