Product Specification

Film Thickness Range And Coverage

Drying Times

Surface Preparation

• This product is a finish coat and should be applied over an appropriate primer and/or intermediate coat
• All surfaces to be coated should be dry and cleaned as necessary to remove all oil, grease, salts, weld flux or other contamination

Mixing

• Must be mixed thoroughly by using a mechanical agitator before use
• Agitate periodically to ensure paint remains homogeneous

Thinner

Thinner

• Axalta 1736 Thinner

Equipment Cleaner

• Axalta 1736 Thinner

Application Conditions

• Only apply in conditions of good ventilation which must be maintained during drying and curing
• Do not apply when rain, mist, sleet or snow are imminent
• During application and drying time of the paint coating, the surface should be dry, the relative humidity should not exceed 85% and the steel temperature should remain at least 3°C above the dew point
• Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC

Application Methods

• Airless Spray: Output fluid pressure at tip 2000 psi min., Tip Size 11-13 thou (0.28-0.33 mm)
• Hot airless: ready for use as supplied. Suitable for hot spray at 60-80°C, with or without electrostatic. Apply a ‘mist’ coat followed by a full coat. Some colours may thicken on heating and require some thinning. Hot spray gives a higher build and can lead to slower through-hardening
• For multi-colour applications allow to dry at least overnight before masking - a longer time may be necessary for hot spray applications*
• Conventional spray and HVLP: will require thinning by approx. 10% (9:1 by volume) with 1736 Thinner to 22-32 seconds BSB4 @ 25°C. Note: this may render the thinned product non-compliant with PG6/34b (06). Please check the VOC content of the particular colour used and degree of thinning to ensure compliance*

Product Notes

• Overcoating: if primers or undercoats are de-nibbed or flatted prior to overcoating, an extended period should be allowed before application of ViterLac TF95 to allow the surface to harden again. Failure to allow this extra time can result in lifting and crazing
• Splash Resistance: when fully cured, ViterLac TF95 resists splashes of diesel, petrol and hydraulic fluid. Splashes of brake fluid may cause some film softening and loss of gloss. Splashes should be immediately removed to prevent longer term film damage
• For best opacity, particularly with tinted colours such as bright yellows, oranges and reds, this product should be applied over a primer or intermediate coat tinted to the recommended undercoat shade – Please consult Axalta Coating Systems or Rawlins Paints Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for advice
• Some shades may contain lead based colourants, and these are labelled (L)

Health & Safety

• Containers are provided with safety labels which should be observed
• Further information about hazardous influences and protection are detailed in individual Product Safety Data Sheets
