Drying Times


Curing Schedule
Surface Temperature Dry To Touch Dry To Handle Dry To Topcoat
35°F (2°C) 30 Minutes 2 Hours 4 Hours
60°F (16°C) 20 Minutes 60 Minutes 3 Hours
75°F (24°C) 10 Minutes 30 Minutes 2 Hours



  • These times are based on a 1.5 mil (35 microns) dry film thickness. Higher film thickness, insufficient ventilation, high humidity or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times and could result in solvent entrapment or premature failure. *Dry to topcoat with itself or other alkyds.
  • Recoat intervals may vary from those listed above when using under intumescent fireproofing products. Consult Carboline Technical Service for recommended cure times before applying Carboline intumescent products.



Surface Preparation


General

  • Surfaces 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.

Steel

  • SSPC-SP6 with a 1.0-2.0 mil (25-50 microns) surface profile for maximum protection. SSPC-SP2 or SP3 as minimum requirement.
  • When using under fireproofing products, defer to the primer surface preparation requirements in the product data sheet of the fireproofing product

  • This product simply requires the substrate temperature to be 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.
