To reduce dry spray at high temperatures, additional thinning may be required. If brush or roller application is used, several coats may be required to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Spray parameters are indicative and may be adjusted to suit site conditions. Pressure figures apply to the material at 20 °C. (*For other application methods, consult the company representative.)
