Drying and recoating times are related to the film thickness, temperature, the relative humidity of the air and ventilation. When forced drying in temperatures 50–100ºC, use flash-off time between 5–30 minutes, depending on the wet film thickness and the actual temperature.

Surface Preparation

Oil, grease, salts and dirt are removed by appropriate means. (ISO 12944-4)

Steel surfaces:

• Blast clean to grade Sa2½. (ISO 8501-1) If blast cleaning is not possible, phosphating is recommended for cold rolled steel to improve adhesion

Primed surfaces:

• Oil, grease, salt and dirt are removed from the surface by appropriate means
• Repair any damage to the primer coat
• Note the overcoating time of primer (ISO 12944-4)

Recommended Primers

• Temadur 20
• Temacoat GPL-S Primer
• Temacoat GPL-S MIO
• Temabond ST 200
• Temabond ST 300
• Temacoat Primer
• Temanyl PVB
• Temazinc 77

Recommended Topcoats

• Temadur 50
• Temadur 90
• Temadur Clear
• Temadur HB 50
• Temadur HB 80
• Temadur HS 90
• Temadur SC-F 20
• Temadur SC-F 50
• Temadur SC-F 80
• Temathane 50
• Temathane 90
• Temathane PC 50
• Temathane PC 80

Application Conditions

• All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from contamination.
• The temperature of the ambient air, surface and paint should not fall below +5ºC during application and drying.
• Relative humidity of the air should not exceed 80% during application and drying.
• The surface temperature of steel should remain at least 3°C above the dew point.
• Good ventilation and sufficient air movement is required in confined areas during application and drying.

Mixing Components

• First stir base and hardener separately.
• The correct proportions of base and hardener must be mixed thoroughly before use.
• Use power mixer for mixing. Insufficient mixing or incorrect mixing ratio will result in uneven drying of the surface and weaken the properties of the coating.

Application

For airless spraying

• The product is thinned depending on the temperature of the components and shape of the object approximately 0–15%
• Recommended nozzle tip is 0.011"–0.015" and pressure 160–200 bar
• Spray angle shall be chosen according to the shape of the object
• In order to reach thicker coats (over 100µm DFT) use always "wet- in-wet" technique

For conventional spraying

• The product is thinned approximately 10-15% to the viscosity 20–25s (DIN4)
• Recommended nozzle tip is 1.6–1.8 mm and pressure 3–4 bar

• Thinner 1067
