Key properties
- Excellent weather resistance.
- Outstanding colour and gloss retention
- Curing temperature down to -5 °C (23 °F).
- Tough and abrasion-resistant film.
- Resistant to splashes of mineral oil, vegetable oil, white spirit, paraffin, aliphatic petroleum products and mild chemicals.
- Can be overcoated even after a long period of atmospheric exposure.
Colour and gloss
- Standard colours are available, and various colours can be customised to customer requirements.
- High gloss.
Notes
- For topcoats in certain specific colours, such as red, orange and yellow, production costs may increase due to the need to enhance hiding power, particularly when these topcoats are overcoated over primers of markedly contrasting colour; this should be given careful attention.

Recommended substrate condition and temperature
Substrate condition
- The previous coat (epoxy or polyurethane) must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants.
- Before recoating an existing coating, roughen the surface sufficiently if necessary.
Substrate temperature and application conditions
- During application and curing, the substrate temperature must be at least 3 °C (5 °F) above the dew point.
- During application and curing, the relative humidity should not exceed 85%
Instructions for use
- Before application, raise the temperature of the base, curing agent or mixed paint to above 15 °C (59 °F); otherwise, additional thinner may be required to adjust the paint viscosity to a suitable application state.
- The thinner should be added after the two components are mixed.
- Excessive thinning generally reduces the sag resistance of the wet film.
Notes
- See supplementary parameters — pot life after mixing.

Curing time for a coating at 75 µm (3.0 mils) dry film thickness
Notes
- Adequate and continuous ventilation must be maintained during application and curing of the coating.
- Condensation on the surface during curing, or shortly after completion, may reduce the gloss of the film.

Safety Precautions
- Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet and product package labelling for full details of the stated safety precautions and protective measures
- This is a solvent-borne coating. Avoid inhaling spray and solvent vapours, and avoid contact of uncured paint with skin and eyes
- The curing agent contains isocyanates.
