    Surface Preparation


    Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures

    Substrate conditions

    • Thermally sprayed steel must be dry and free from any contamination

     

    Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions


    • Substrate temperature during application and curing down to 5°C (41°F) is acceptable
    • Substrate temperature during application 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

     

    Pot Life


    • 8 hours at 20°C (68°F)

    Refer below for more information on pot life at other temperatures

    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
