Surface Preparation
- Blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007), surface profile 50-75 microns
- All surfaces to be coated should be dry and cleaned as necessary to remove all oil, grease, salts, weld flux or other contamination. Where necessary, remove weld spatter and grind smooth all sharp edges and weld seams
Mixing
Mixing Ratio:
- Base 3403 or 3321 (L) - 3 parts by volume
- Hardener 4050 077 - 1 part by volume
Notes:
- Mix only in the proportions stated, mixing each component individually then together using a mechanical agitator
- Agitate periodically during use to ensure product remains homogeneous
Thinner
Thinner
Equipment Cleaner
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
- Only apply this product when the above conditions can be maintained throughout the critical application and drying/curing process
- Paint temperature should ideally be at a minimum of 15ºC
Application Methods
- Airless Spray: Output fluid pressure at tip 2500-3000 psi, Tip Size: 15-21 thou (0.38-0.53mm)
- For airless spray application at low temperatures, up to 5% by volume of 1031 Thinner may be added to ensure achievement of a closed film
- Application by brush/roller will result in a reduced film thickness and is recommended only for small areas of touch up/remedial work
- Refer to Axalta Coating Systems ‘Epoxy Application and Curing Notes’
Product Notes
- Minimum overcoating with itself: allow a minimum 4 hours at 23ºC, when SPF has been applied to 75-100 dft
- Minimum overcoating with 2p polyurethanes and non-iso (i.e. ViterThane PLV or PLS, or ViterSeal EA80): allow a minimum 6 hours at 23ºC, when SPF has been applied to 75-100 dft
- Allow longer drying and overcoating times at higher dft’s and lower temperatures
- A minimum of 100 microns dft will be required to achieve a consistent solid appearance with white, pastel and other low opacity shades
- Do not apply or cure below 0°C, temperatures above 10°C are recommended
- Some shades may contain lead colourants, these are labelled SPF (L)
- Like all epoxy coatings, this product will chalk on prolonged exterior exposure, the degree of which is subject to atmospheric conditions
