Product Specification

Drying Times

Surface Preparation

Substrate Conditions

• Steel should be blast cleaned in situ to at least ISO-Sa2½
• Blasting profile 50 – 100 μm (2.0 – 4.0 mils)
• Steel must be free from rust, scale, shop primer and any other contamination

Substrate Temperature & Application Conditions

• Substrate temperature during application and curing should be above 10°C (50°F)
• Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point.

Application Methods

Mixing Ratio By Volume: Base To Hardener 88:12

• 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

Allow time before use.
