Surface Preparation
This product is a finish coat which should be applied over ViterClad Bonding Coat or suitably prepared, sound Plastisol for recolour work
For aged/degraded Plastisol, condition diagnosis and correct surface preparation are critical to performance. Please consult Rawlins Technical Team for individual project specifications
Completely new and unweathered HP200* Plastisol must be wiped with white spirit (1050 Thinner) and allowed to dry prior to applying ViterClad 50
New HPS200* Plastisol must be wiped with xylene (1006 Thinner) and allowed to dry prior to applying ViterClad 50
For PVF2, Silicone Polyester and other cladding types, refer to Rawlins Technical Team 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected]
Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from all grease, oil and general contamination
Mixing
Mix only in the proportions stated, mixing each component individually then together using a mechanical agitator. Agitate periodically during use to ensure product remains homogeneous
Only apply in conditions of good ventilation which must be maintained during drying and curing.
Do not apply in windy conditions where wind is likely to carry spray mist.
Do not apply when rain, mist, sleet or snow are imminent.
During application and drying time of the paint coating, the surface should be dry, the Relative Humidity should not exceed 85% and the steel temperature should remain at least 3ºC above the dew point.
Only apply this product when the above conditions can be maintained throughout the critical application and drying/curing process.
Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC.
Do not apply above 40ºC.
Do not apply over standing or running water or ice.
Application Methods
Airless Spray: recommended for best finish. Output fluid pressure at tip 2000- 2500 psi, Tip Size: 11-13 thou (0.33-0.43mm). Up to 5% 1737 Thinner may be added for application under cool or hot conditions, but thinning should be avoided if possible
Conventional spray is possible but not recommended
Brush – not recommended due to metallic finish
Roller – use only good quality short hair roller types of suitable width to accommodate the cladding profile and configuration – always work from a wet edge. Up to 10% thinner may be required – use 1048 Thinner when applying by roller in warm conditions. Axalta Coating Systems strongly recommend that a feasibility test area is applied to confirm acceptable aesthetics are achievable
