    Surface Preparation


    Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures

    Substrate conditions

    • Steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½

     

    Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions


    • Substrate temperature during application and curing down to -5°C (23°F) is acceptable; provided the substrate is free from ice and dry
    • Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
    • Relative humidity during application and curing should not exceed 85%



    Application


    Instructions for Use

    Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 80:20 (4:1)

    • The temperature of the mixed base and hardener should preferably be above 15°C (59°F), otherwise extra thinner may be required to obtain application viscosity
    • Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance and slower cure
    • Thinner should be added after mixing the components

     

    Air spray


    Recommended thinner

    Volume of thinner

    • 0 - 10%, depending on required thickness and application conditions

    Nozzle orifice

    • 1.5 – 3.0 mm (approx. 0.060 – 0.110 in)

    Nozzle pressure

    • 0.3 - 0.4 MPa (approx. 3 - 4 bar; 44 - 58 p.s.i.)

     

    Airless Spray


    Recommended thinner

    Volume of thinner

    • 0 - 5%, depending on required thickness and application conditions

    Nozzle orifice

    • Approx. 0.48 mm (0.019 in)

    Nozzle pressure

    • 15.0 MPa (approx. 150 bar; 2176 p.s.i.)

    Safety Precautions


    • For paint and recommended thinners, see information sheets information sheet 1430, information sheet 1431 and the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets in the attachments section above
    • This is a solvent-borne paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist or vapor, as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes
