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

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Condition | Material | Surface | Ambient | Humidity | |
Minimum | 35°F (2°C) | 35°F (2°C) | 35°F (2°C) | 0% | |

- 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.
Health & Safety
- Refer to the safety data sheet in the attachments section above and tin label prior to use.
