Drying and recoating times are related to the film thickness, temperature, the relative humidity of the air and ventilation.

Gloss: Full gloss.

Colour Shades: Grey. The colour is liable to change when exposed to light or chemicals.

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) The surface profile must be minimum medium (G). (ISO 8503-2).

Concrete Surfaces:

• The surface must be dry and at least 4 weeks old.
• The relative humidity of the concrete should not exceed 97%.
• Remove any splashes and unevennesses by grinding.
• Remove laitance and form oil from concrete castings by sanding or blast cleaning.
• Any cracks, crevices and voids must be repaired with a mixture of Temaline TL and fine dry quartz sand.

Recommended Primers

---

• Temaline TL

Steel surfaces:

• Temaline TL

Concrete surfaces:

• Impregnation with 30% thinned Temaline TL.

Recommended Topcoats

---

• Temaline TL

Steel surfaces:

• 1 x Temaline TL

Concrete surfaces:

• 2 x Temaline TL

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 +10ºC 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.

Note! There is a natural tendency of this coating to chalk, discolor or yellow unevenly. It is recommended to use polyurethane topcoat when there are high aesthetic requirements on colour appearance.

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

---

• Application with a dual feed hot airless spray equipment with a pressure ratio of at least 45:1 and a theoretical litre capacity of at least 8 l/min.
• Optimum spray temperature is around 50ºC at the nozzle, starting temperature about 40ºC.
• Airless spray nozzle tip 0.018"–0.027" and nozzle pressure 180–200 bar.
• Spray angle shall be chosen according to the shape of the object.
• Use of a reverse nozzle is recommended.
• Sharp edges, corners, weld seams and other areas difficult to paint should be painted by brush prior to spray application.

Note! Pot life of the mixture is about 30 minutes at +23ºC and about 5 minutes at +40ºC. Avoid letting the mixture cure in hoses, pump or spray gun.

Thinners

---

• Thinner 006 1031 or acetone.
  
  

Cleaning Of Equipment

---

• Thinner 006 1031 or acetone.
  
  

VOC

---

• Does not contain Volatile Organic Compounds. VOC content of the paint mixture (thinned 10% by volume) is 80 g/l.
