Surface Preparation
Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures
Substrate conditions
- Compatible previous coat must be dry and free from any contamination Substrate temperature
- Substrate temperature during application and curing down to -10°C (14°F) is acceptable; provided the substrate is free from ice and dry
- Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions

- Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
Application
Instructions for Use
Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 82:18
- Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance
- The temperature of the mixed base and hardener should be above 10°C (50°F), otherwise extra thinner may be required to obtain application viscosity
- Thinner should be added after mixing the components
Induction Time
None.
Pot life
- 5 hours at 20°C (68°F)

40°C (104°F) | 3 hours | 48 hours |
Notes:
- Adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to information sheets 1433 and (1434)
- In exceptional cases SIGMACOVER 456 may be applied at lower substrate temperatures (down to -15°C (5°F)) provided that the surface is free from ice and other contamination. In such cases special care must be taken to avoid thick film application as this may lead to checking/crazing or solvent entrapment. It should be clear that application at lower temperatures will require additional thinning to obtain application viscosity, however this will affect the sag resistance of the applied coating and can induce solvent retention. Optimal curing and designed product properties will only be achieved when minimum required substrate temperature is reached

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 vapour, as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes

Questions
Question about the product
Paul on 2023-08-07 16:24:02 | Question:
Hi there, Would this product be suitable to apply to 22mm egger protect tongue and groove flooring boards? Kind Regards Paul |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
From a practical point of view, this product wouldn't necessarily be recommended for use on floor-boards. However it shouldn't be an issue, providing it is thinned by around 15-20% with PPG Thinner 91-92 to ensure it soaks in and binds well to the substrate. | |
