Surface Preparation
Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures
Substrate conditions
- Steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½, blasting profile 40 – 70 µm (1.6 – 2.8 mils)
- Previous coat must be sound, dry and free from any contamination
Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions
- Substrate temperature during application and curing down to -5°C (23°F) is acceptable; provided the substrate is free from ice and dry
- Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
Application
Instructions for Use
Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 80:20 (4:1)
- The temperature of the paint should preferably be above 15°C (59°F), otherwise extra thinner may be required to obtain application viscosity
- Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance
- Thinner should be added after mixing the components
Induction Time
| Mixed Product Induction Time | |
|---|---|
| Mixed Product Temperature | Induction time |
| Above 10°C (50°F) | None |
| Below 10°C (50°F) | 20 minutes |
Pot life
- 4 hours at 20°C (68°F)
