Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures
Substrate Conditions
Previous coat (chlorinated rubber, vinyl or acrylic coatings) must be dry and free from any contamination. Substrate temperature during application should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
Instructions for Use
- Stir well before use
- 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
- Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing. Please refer to information sheets 1433 and 1434.
