Surface Preparation
Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures
Substrate conditions
- Steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½ for excellent corrosion protection, blasting profile 40 – 70 µm (1.6 – 2.8 mils)
- Steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2, blasting profile 40 – 70 µm (1.6 – 2.8 mils) or power tool cleaned to minimum ISO-St2 for good corrosion protection
- Previous coat must be dry and free from any contamination
- Previous coat: surface should be sufficiently roughened if necessary
- At freezing temperatures surface must be free from ice
Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions
- Substrate temperature during application and curing should be between -5°C (23°F) and 15°C (59°F)
- Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
System Specification
- SIGMACOVER 350 LT: 2 x 125 µm (5.0 mils) DFT
Application
Instructions for Use
Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 80:20 (4:1)
- The 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
Induction Time
None.
Pot life
- 3 hours at 10°C (50°F)

Notes:
- For cargo hold application: for full cure for hard angular cargoes, please contact our technical team
- Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to information sheets 1433 and (1434)
- Should SIGMACOVER 350 LT or the total coating system (2 x 125 µm/2 x 5.0 mils) be applied in excess of the specified dry film thickness, then the time necessary to reach full cure will be increased

Safety Precautions
- For paint and recommended thinners, see information sheets information sheet 1430, information sheet 1431 and the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets in the attachments section above
- This is a solvent-borne paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist or vapor, as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes
