Recommended Film Thicknesses and Theoretical Coverage

Practical coverage depends on the application method, painting conditions and the shape and roughness of the surface to be coated.

Drying Times

Drying and recoating times are related to the film thickness, temperature, the relative humidity of the air and ventilation.

Surface Preparation

Oil, grease, salts and dirt are removed by appropriate means. (ISO 12944-4)

Steel Surfaces:

• Blast clean to grade Sa2½. (ISO 8501-1) .
• If blast cleaning is not possible, phosphating is recommended for cold rolled steel to improve adhesion.

Zinc Surfaces:

• Sweep blast clean with mineral abrasives, e.g. quartz sand, to an even roughness.
• If sweep blasting is not possible, the surface should be roughened by hand abrading or washed with Panssaripesu detergent.

Aluminium Surfaces:

• Sweep blast clean with non-metallic abrasives to an even roughness.
• If sweep blasting is not possible, the surface should be roughened by hand abrading or washed with Maalipesu detergent.

Primed Surfaces:

• Oil, grease, salt and dirt are removed from the surface by appropriate means.
• Repair any damage to the primer coat.
• Note the overcoating time of primer.

Recommended Primers

• Temacoat GF Primer
• Temazinc 77
• Temazinc 99

Recommended Topcoats

• Temacoat GPL
• Temacoat GS 50
• Temacoat RM 40
• Temacoat GPL-S MIO
• Temadur
• Temathane PC 50
• Temacryl EA 50

Application Conditions

• All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from contamination.
• The temperature of the ambient air, surface and paint should not fall below +5ºC during application and drying.
• Relative humidity of the air should not exceed 80% during application and drying.
• The surface temperature of steel should remain at least 3°C above the dew point.
• Good ventilation and sufficient air movement is required in confined areas during application and drying.

Mixing Components

• First stir base and hardener separately.
• The correct proportions of base and hardener must be mixed thoroughly before use.
• Use power mixer for mixing.
• Insufficient mixing or incorrect mixing ratio will result in uneven drying of the surface and weaken the properties of the coating.

Application

• For airless spraying, the product is thinned approximately 5–20%.
• Recommended nozzle tip is 0.011"–0.017" and pressure 120–180 bar.
• Spray angle shall be chosen according to the shape of the object.
• For brush application product should be thinned according to the circumstances.

Thinner/Cleaning

Thinner 1031.

VOC

The Volatile Organic Compounds amount is 420 g/litre of paint mixture. VOC content of paint mixture (thinned 20% by) volume is 495 g/l.

Health And Safety

Containers are provided with safety labels, which should be observed. Further information about hazardous influences and protection are detailed in individual health and safety data sheets.
