Preparation & Application
Recommended Substrate Conditions & Temperatures
Substrate conditions
- Previous coat (PHENGUARD 935) must be dry and free from any contamination
- The substrate must be perfectly dry before and during application of PHENGUARD 940
Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions
- Substrate temperature during application and curing should be above 10°C (50°F)
- Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
System Specification
- PHENGUARD 930 (offwhite): 100µm (4.0 mils)
- PHENGUARD 935 (pink): 100µm (4.0 mils)
- PHENGUARD 940 (gray): 100µm (4.0 mils)
Instructions For Use
Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 88:12
- TThe temperature of the mixed base and hardener 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 and slower cure
- Thinner should be added after mixing the components

Notes:
- Minimum curing time of PHENGUARD tank coating system before transport of cargoes with note 4, 7, 8 or 11: 3 months
- For detailed information on resistance and resistance notes, please refer to the latest issue of the cargo resistance list
- For transport of methanol and vinyl acetate monomer, a hot cure is required, which cannot be substituted by a service period of 3months with non-aggressive cargoes
- Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to INFORMATION SHEETS 1433 and 1434)
- The performance of the applied system strongly depends on the curing degree of the first coat at time of recoating. Therefore overcoating time between 1st and 2nd coat is extended in comparison between 2nd and 3rd coat (see overcoating details)
