Application guide

Surface Preparation

Completely remove rust, dust, moisture, oil and other contaminants from the substrate surface with clean water or a suitable solvent. Blast clean to Sa 2.5 "near-white or white metal blast cleaning".

Application method

Airless spray or brush application (for narrow areas). Airless spray: nozzle tip size 483–686 µm (0.019–0.027″); spray pressure 14.5–15.2 MPa; spray angle 40–60°.

Mixing

Base (EP174(T)PTA): hardener (EP174(T)PTB) = 3:1 (by volume). Thoroughly mix the two components in the specified ratio before application.

Thinner

Thinner 024. Do not thin individual components; the mixture must be thinned.

Application conditions

The surface must be clean and dry, and the relative humidity must be below 85%. To prevent moisture condensation, the substrate surface temperature shall be at least 3 °C above the dew point.

Film thickness

1 coat: dry film thickness 100 µm. The film thickness may be adjusted according to the application area and use.
