Recommended substrate condition and temperature

Substrate condition

• Steel: abrasive blast clean to at least Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1), with surface roughness 40–70 µm (1.6–2.8 mils).
• The confirmed compatible previous coat must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants.

Substrate temperature and application conditions

• During application and curing, the substrate temperature should be above 5 °C (41 °F)
• During application, the substrate temperature must be maintained at least 3 °C (5 °F) above the dew point.

Instructions for use

Mixing ratio by volume: base : curing agent = 3:1

• 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.
• Excessive thinning may reduce the sag resistance of the wet film, slow hard drying and even reduce strength.
• The thinner should be added after the two components are mixed.

Induction time table

Notes

• See supplementary parameters — pot life after mixing.

Air spray

Airless spray (single-feed pump)

Brush/roller

• For local small-area repair and manual touch-up only.

Cleaning solvent

Notes

• Minimum curing time that the coating must guarantee when loading chemicals listed in the permitted cargo list with note 4.7 or 11: 3 months
• For detailed descriptions and notes on cargoes (chemicals) that may be carried, refer to the latest published cargo resistance list for the tank coating system (chemical resistance list).
• Adequate and continuous ventilation must be maintained during application and curing of the coating.
