Features and Benefits

• Durable topcoat in combination with epoxy primer for long service life
• Fast curing
• Heat resistant up to 110°C continuous
• High solid, low VOC
• Very good abrasion resistance

Product Specification

Drying Times

• Above recoating times are guidelines only. Actual recoating times can be shorter or longer depending on film thickness, ventilation, moisture or other local conditions
• Excessive humidity or condensation on the surface during curing can interfere with the cure, can cause discolouration, and may result in a surface haze. Any haze or blush must be removed by water washing before recoating
• Light abrasion of the surface may be necessary when the maximum recoating intervals are exceeded

Surface Preparation

General

• Surface must be clean and dry
• Employ adequate methods to remove dirt, dust, oil, and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the coating

Application Methods

Application Conditions

• Industry standards are for substrate temperatures to be 3ºC above the dew point
• Condensation due to substrate temperatures below the dew point can cause flash rusting on prepared steel and interfere with proper adhesion to the substrate
• Special application techniques may be required above or below normal application conditions

Health and Safety

Clean Up

• Use Thinner 2 or Acetone
• In case of spillage, absorb and dispose of in accordance with local applicable regulations

Safety

• Read and follow all caution statements on this product data sheet and on the SDS for this product and use personal protective equipment as directed
• Employ normal workmanlike safety precautions
• Hypersensitive persons should wear protective clothing, gloves and use protective cream on face, hands, and all exposed areas

Ventilation

• When used in enclosed areas, thorough air circulation must be used during and after application until the coating is cured.
• The ventilation system should be capable of preventing the solvent vapor concentration from reaching the lower explosion limit for the solvents used
• In addition to ensuring proper ventilation, appropriate respirators must be used by all application personnel

Caution

• This product contains flammable solvents
• Keep away from sparks and open flames
• All electrical equipment and installations should be made and grounded in accordance with regulations
• In areas where explosion hazards exist, workmen should be required to use nonferrous tools and wear conductive and nonsparking shoes
