Surface Preparation

The surface of primer or intermediate coats, over which this product is applied as topcoat, should be free from oil, moisture, dust and dirt. Aged coatings should be roughened by emery paper grade 400 / 600 for better bonding.

Application Data :-

MIXING RATIO : Base : Hardener (As per our recommendation)
APPLICATION : By Brush / By Conventional spray / By Airless Spray
THINNER : Type 290
POT LIFE : 3 hours min at 30° C
RECOMMENDED DFT : 30-40 µ.
OVERCOATING INTERVAL : MIN : 8 hours MAX : 24 hours
COMPATIBILITY : Can be applied over Epoxy and Polyurethane primers, intermediate coats and topcoats.

Application Method

Stir the Base part thoroughly. Mix the base and hardener as per our recommended ratio, by volume. Stir the mix gently to attain homogeneity. Add Thinner Type 290 into the mix, if required, depending on application method, and stir gently for few minutes. Allow the mixture to stand still (maturation) for about 10 minutes to initiate the reaction. Strain the paint through Nylon filter cloth of 400 mesh size and apply uniformly over the surface. All equipments used for above should

Application :-By Brush / By Conventional Spray / By Airless Spray

Generally no thinner is required for Brush application, however under adverse environmental conditions about 5% of thinner, by volume, can be added. Apply evenly in criss-cross manner, to ensure the uniform application. Use quality brushes for paint application.

For Conventional Spray application :-

Thinner : Type 290
Addition : 5-15%
Nozzle Orifice : 1.2 -1.4 mm
Nozzle Pressure : 40-70 p.s.i.

For Airless Spray application :-

Thinner : Type 290
Addition : Max 5%, if required.
Nozzle Orifice : 0.28 mm
Nozzle Pressure : 1400-1800 p.s.i.

Notes

1. Do not apply paint when temperature falls below 10°C or rises above 50°C and when Relative Humidity is above 85%, do not apply during rain, fog & mist. Surface temperature must always be minimum of 3°C above Dew point.

2. Brushes and spray equipment should be cleaned with SAFFRO's recommended thinner otherwise equipment is liable to be damaged.

3. Products with different volume solids, different qualities also available on requests.

4. DFT variation can be obtained by change in application method / thinning ratio.

5. Shelf life indicated is minimum for this Product in sealed conditions and it is subject to re-inspection thereafter. Individual component is required to be stored in cool, dry and covered condition, away from heat and ignition.

Health & Safety

This is a solvent based paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist or vapours as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes.
