Recommended film thicknesses and theoretical coverage
Recommended film thicknesses | Theoretical coverage |
---|
wet | dry | |
160µm | 100µm | 6.3 m²/l |
200µm | 120µm | 5.0 m²/l |
Practical coverage depends on the application method, painting conditions and the shape and roughness of the surface to be coated.
Drying time
DFT 80µm | 10℃ | 20℃ | 30℃ |
---|
Dust dry, after | 30min | 20min | 10min |
Touch dry, after | 8h | 5h | 3h |
Recoatable, after | 2 weeks | 1 week | 1 week |
Drying and recoating times are related to the film thickness, temperature, the relative humidity of the air and ventilation.
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 Primer & Topcoat
Temalac SC-F 20
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.
Application
Stir the product carefully before use.
For airless spraying, the product is thinned approximately 0–5%. Recommended nozzle tip is 0.011"–0.015" and pressure 180–240 bar. Spray angle shall be chosen according to the shape of the object.
For conventional spraying, the product is thinned approximately 5–10%. Recommended nozzle tip is 1.6–1.8 mm and pressure 3–4 bar.
In order to reach thicker coats use "wet-on-wet" technique.
Thinners & Cleaning of Equipment
Thinner 1006.
VOC
The Volatile Organic Compounds amount is 360 g/litre of paint.
VOC content in ready to use paint (thinned 10% by volume) is 410 g/l.
