Drying Times
| Curing Schedule | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surface Temp. | Dry to Recoat | Final Cure | ||||
| 5°C (41°F) | 18 Hours | 7 Days | ||||
| 10°C (50°F) | 10 Hours | 5 Days | ||||
| 20°C (68°F) | 6 Hours | 3 Days | ||||
| 25°C (77°F) | 4 Hours | 2 Days | ||||
- These times are based on recommended DFT. Higher film thickness, insufficient ventilation or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times and could result in solvent entrapment and premature failure
Surface Preparation
General
- May be used over most generic types of coatings which are tightly adhering to the substrate including organic- and inorganic zinc primers
Steel
- Preferably blasting however hand- or power tool cleaning is acceptable standard in many cases to remove non adhering paint and rust. Alternatively, ultra high pressure water jetting to Nace No. 7 min. C Vis WJ-2. Max flash rust; C Vis WJ-2M
