Surface Preparation


Recommended Substrate Conditions and Temperatures

Substrate conditions

  • Steel; blast cleaned to ISO-Sa2½, blasting profile 40 – 70 µm (1.6 – 1.8 mils), or power tool cleaned to ISO-St3
  • Compatible previous coat must be dry and free from any contamination

 

Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions


  • Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
  • Substrate temperature during application and curing down to -5°C (23°F) is acceptable; provided the substrate is free from ice and dry
  • Relative humidity during application and curing should not exceed 85%
  • Premature exposure to early condensation and rain may cause colour and gloss change

Application


Instructions for Use

  • Do not thin more than is required by appropriate application property
  • Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance
  • Thinner should be added after mixing the components

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
  • Contains a toxic polyisocyanate curing agent
  • Avoid at all times inhalation of aerosol spray mist
