If brush or roller application is used, multiple coats are required to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Additional thinning may be required to reduce dry spraying at elevated temperatures. Additional thinning may be required at low paint temperatures, which will result in lower film build and slower drying. Do not thin components separately — thinning after mixing is permitted. Spray parameters are indicative and may be adjusted according to site conditions. Pressure values apply to material at 20 °C. (*Consult the company representative if other application methods are required!)
| Specification range | Low | High | Recommended |
| Dry Film Thickness | 50 µm | 300 µm | 125 µm |
| Wet Film Thickness | 74 µm | 446 µm | 186 µm |
| Theoretical Spreading Rate | 13 m²/L | 2.2 m²/L | 5.4 m²/L |
To achieve optimum performance, avoid excessive film thickness. Depending on the end use and service area, the product may be specified at film thicknesses other than those indicated. This will alter the spreading rate, drying and curing times and recoat interval. The practical consumption factor may vary with application conditions, equipment and workmanship. Checking paint consumption against area improves film thickness control.
- If brush or roller application is used, more coats are required to achieve the specified dry film thickness.
For a more opaque and evenly formed film, first apply a mist coat, then after 2–15 minutes spray to the full film thickness.

Dry film thickness of 125 µm determined under standard conditions; refer to Hempel explanatory notes for details. To determine the dry state, refer to Application Specification COP FP1401-1 (drying test for high film thickness).
For products of the same generic chemical composition, recoat times are for reference only.
For further information, refer to Hempel's specifications.
- To achieve the stated drying times, adequate ventilation during application, drying and curing is essential.
