Drying and recoating times are related to the film thickness, temperature, the relative humidity of the air and ventilation
Surface Preparation
All surfaces to be coated should be dry and cleaned as necessary to remove all oil, grease, salts, weld flux or other contamination
Where necessary, remove weld spatter and grind smooth all sharp edges and weld seams
Blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007), surface profile 50-75 microns
Can also be applied to clean, dry, abraded steel
Aluminium and Zinc coated surfaces: Surfaces should be degreased, abraded and etch primed prior to application of Axalta Containergard HS*
Existing coatings: Containergard HS has been found to be tolerant to a wide range of existing coatings, including chlorinated rubber and vinyl systems which other topcoats may cause to soften or blister. A test area is recommended to ensure compatibility prior to full coating. Longer term performance will depend on the nature and integrity of the existing system and Axalta Coating Systems cannot assure results in these cases

Mixing
Must be mixed thoroughly by using a mechanical agitator before use
Agitate periodically to ensure paint remains homogeneous
Only apply in conditions of good ventilation which must be maintained during drying and curing
Do not apply when rain, mist, sleet or snow are imminent
During application and drying time of the paint coating, the surface should be dry, the relative humidity should not exceed 85% and the steel temperature should remain at least 3°C above the dew point
Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC
Application Methods
Airless Spray: Output fluid pressure at tip 2500 psi, Tip Size 15-17 thou (0.38- 0.43 mm)
Conventional spray: requires thinning with 1006 Thinner which will increase the VOC content
Brush should be used for touch-up of small areas
Product Notes
Splash Resistance - when fully cured, resists splashes of diesel, petrol and hydraulic fluid. Splashes of brake fluid may cause some film softening and loss of gloss. Splashes should be immediately removed to prevent longer term film damage
*Colours such as yellows, reds and oranges have lower opacity, especially when produced using lead-free pigments. Two or three coats of these shades may be required, relative to only one coat of a grey or red oxide, so that yellows, bright reds and oranges may not be suitable as one coat systems
