Mixing Ratio:
Sherwin-Williams Magnalux 42PP is a two/three component material supplied in separate containers to be mixed prior to use (Retarder above 15°C required)
- 100 parts base to 2 parts catalyst by weight
- Below 15°C, add catalyst to base component and mix thoroughly with a mechanical stirrer for at least 2 minutes
- Above 15°C, add retarder (included) to base and mix thoroughly with a mechanical stirrer for at least 2 minutes
- Allow a minimum of 3 minutes before adding catalyst, then stir for a further 2 minutes
- DO NOT add retarder after the catalyst
Shelf Life:
- 6 months or ‘Use By’ date where specified
- Store at or below 25°C

These figures are given as a guide only. Factors such as air movement and humidity must also be considered.

Fan Angle | 50° |
Operating Pressure | 196-220kg/cm² (2500-3150 psi) |
Airless Spray:
- The airless spray details given above are intended as a guide only
- Details such as fluid hose length and diameter, paint temperature and job shape and size all have an effect on the spray tip and operating pressure chosen
- However, the operating pressure should be the lowest possible consistent with satisfactory atomisation
- As conditions will vary from job to job, it is the applicators' responsibility to ensure that the equipment in use has been set up to give the best results
Note:
- Airless spray application should not be used for priming concrete
- Use only brush or roller application for concrete substrates (preferably brush)
Brush:
- The material is suitable for brush application
- Application of more than one coat may be necessary to give equivalent dry film thickness to a single spray applied coat
Roller:
- The material is suitable for roller application
- Application of more than one coat may be necessary to give equivalent dry film thickness to a single spray applied coat
Surface Preparation
- Blast clean to Sa2½ ISO 8501-1:2007. Minimum surface profile 75 microns
- Ensure surfaces to be coated are clean, dry and free from all surface contamination
- Concrete - consult Sherwin-Williams Technical Support or Rawlins Paints' Technical Support Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected]
Application Conditions & Overcoating
- In conditions of high relative humidity, ie 80-85% good ventilation conditions are essential
- Substrate temperature shall be at least 3°C above the dew point and always above 0°C
- At application temperatures below 15°C, drying and curing times will be significantly extended, and spraying characteristics may be impaired
- If application and curing temperatures fall below 5°C, full cure may not be obtained - post curing may be required for certain aggressive environments - see additional notes
- Application at steel temperatures above 50°C is not recommended
- If it is desired to overcoat outside the times stated on the data sheet, please seek advice of Sherwin-Williams
Additional Notes
- Drying times, curing times and pot life should be considered as a guide only
- Solids by volume of the product can vary significantly, depending on the amount of monomer lost and shrinkage during application and curing
- Method of application and temperature/ventilation conditions will therefore affect the practical solids contents
- The reaction between the base component and catalyst is highly exothermic
- Deviation from the recommended mixing ratio should not be undertaken without first consulting Sherwin-Williams
- The catalyst must be stored separately from the base, and from any other paint or chemical products, in accordance with the product safety data sheet
- The quoted pot lives are typical figures for a full 20 litre unit @ 2% catalyst level
- Should any thickening or lumps appear in the mixed product, this should be discarded and the equipment flushed through and cleaned immediately
- Reduction in catalyst level and/or volume of mixed product will extend the pot life
- Flushing of spray equipment is essential before any break in work, and is recommended at regular intervals throughout the application procedure
- Only mix units of Magnalux as they are required for immediate use
- Magnalux products should not be thinned with cleanser thinners or any other solvent
- Thinning will severely impair the curing mechanism and subsequent performance
- Thinning with normal paint solvent can lead to exothermic reaction and possible fire or explosion hazard
- Magnalux products must not be applied over any existing painted surface, or any substrate which contains copper or zinc compounds
- This includes sprayed surfaces
- Numerical values quoted for physical data may vary slightly from batch to batch
