- Clear solvent-based additive designed to extend the drying time of Kolorbond paint.
- Ideal for large panels or large surface areas during spray applications.
- Allows maintaining a wet edge during spray applications.
Kolorbond C425 Retarder
This single-pack solvent-based retarder is specifically formulated to extend the drying time of Kolorbond paints, especially useful for large areas or panels where keeping a wet edge is critical. With a high level of performance, it ensures smooth application, allowing sprayers to cover expansive surfaces without risking premature drying.
Key Applications
- Ideal for use on large panels or during on-site spraying projects where extended drying times are necessary.
- Perfect for use in professional and industrial environments, particularly for coatings, paints, thinners, and large surface applications.
This product is not suitable for use on surfaces that require fast drying or where high temperatures may accelerate drying beyond manageable limits. It is recommended to always test a small area first before full application to ensure compatibility and effectiveness.
How to Use
For optimal results, add 2% of the C425 Retarder to Kolorbond paint for standard applications. In more extreme conditions, such as high temperatures or when working on large surfaces, up to 5% can be added. The retarder effectively increases the paint's open time, ensuring even coverage.
Do not exceed the recommended dosage as this may impact the durability of the paint film. Avoid using the product on projects requiring quick drying, or when the application surface is exposed to high heat, as this could compromise the drying process.
Restrictions
The C425 Retarder should not be used on small projects or surfaces where quick drying is essential. It is also unsuitable for water-based or two-component systems. It is important to avoid using this product in environments with high temperatures that may result in excessive curing time.
Always consult the technical data sheet before use, and ensure adherence to the recommended mixing ratios to avoid affecting the integrity of the paint.
Recommended Products
The C425 Retarder works best when used in conjunction with Kolorbond solvent-based paints. For projects requiring a quick turnaround, Kolorbond offers other fast-drying alternatives that can be better suited for smaller areas or fast-paced environments.
Health and Safety
Contains Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether and poses risks such as skin and eye irritation. Proper ventilation and protective equipment are required during use. Always refer to the MSDS for detailed safety information.
