Application Equipment
Airless Spray - Graco King 30:1 or similar - all filters removed - Min 3/8” hose diameter
Airless Spray:
Nozzle Size
0.7 - 1.2mm (28-48 thou)

Airless Spray:
The airless spray details given above are intended as a guide only
Details such as fluid hose length and diameter, paint temperature and job shape and size all have an effect on the spray tip and operating pressure chosen
However, the operating pressure should be the lowest possible consistent with satisfactory atomisation
As conditions will vary from job to job, it is the applicators' responsibility to ensure that the equipment in use has been set up to give the best results
Brush application is not recommended.
Surface Preparation
To be applied over Magnalux Glass Flake products only
Ensure surfaces to be coated are clean, dry and free from all surface contamination
Application Conditions & Overcoating
In conditions of high relative humidity, ie 80-85% good ventilation conditions are essential
Substrate temperature shall be at least 3°C above the dew point and always above 0°C
At application temperatures below 10°C, drying and curing times will be significantly extended, and spraying characteristics may be impaired
If application and curing temperatures fall below 5°C, full cure may not be obtained - post curing may be required for certain aggressive environments - see additional notes
It is not advisable to apply polyester coatings when the air or substrate temperature exceeds 45°C, or the substrate temperature exceeds 55°C
These conditions can introduce paint film formation defects such as dry spray, pinholing, bubbling etc
If it is desired to overcoat outside the times stated on the data sheet, please seek advice of Sherwin-Williams
Additional Notes
Drying times, curing times and pot life should be considered as a guide only
For optimum immersion service normal full cure must be achieved, ie 72 hours at 20°C (post curing at 80-100°C will shorten the cure time to 3 hours and may be recommended for some aggressive environments)
For immersion spark test at 5kv per 1.0mm dft and repair defects by overcoating with the specified dft of Magnalux 43VC
The reaction between the base component and catalyst is highly exothermic
Deviation from the recommended mixing ratio should not be undertaken without first consulting Sherwin-Williams
The catalyst must be stored separately from the base, and from any other paint or chemical products, in accordance with the product safety data sheet
The quoted pot lives are typical figures for a full 20 litre unit @ 2% catalyst level
Should any thickening or lumps appear in the mixed product, this should be discarded and the equipment flushed through and cleaned immediately
Reduction in catalyst level and/or volume of mixed product will extend the pot life
Flushing of spray equipment is essential before any break in work, and is recommended at regular intervals throughout the application procedure
Only mix units of Magnalux as they are required for immediate use
Magnalux products should not be thinned with cleanser thinners or any other solvent
Thinning will severely impair the curing mechanism and subsequent performance
Thinning with normal paint solvent can lead to exothermic reaction and possible fire or explosion hazard
Magnalux products must not be applied over any existing painted surface, or any substrate which contains copper or zinc compounds
This includes copper or zinc based paints, or metal sprayed surfaces
Numerical values quoted for physical data may vary slightly from batch to batch
