Recommended substrate condition and temperature

Substrate condition

• Surfaces with product-type-approved inorganic zinc silicate shop primer: sweep-blast to grade Ss of the Japanese Shipbuilding Research Association Standard for Surface Preparation before Painting (SPSS),

Weld seams, rusted areas and damaged coating areas shall be blast-cleaned to Sa 2½ of international standard ISO 8501-1.

• Bare steel: abrasive blast clean to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1), with surface roughness of 40–70 µm (1.6–2.8 mils).
• Primed or previously coated surfaces must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants.
• Galvanized surfaces must be clean and dry, with all contaminants and zinc salts removed.

Substrate temperature and application conditions

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

Instructions for use

• Stir thoroughly before application.
• Before application, raise the temperature of the components or the mixed paint to above 15 °C (59 °F); otherwise, thinner may need to be added to adjust the paint viscosity

to a state suitable for application.

• Excessive thinning generally reduces the sag resistance of the wet film.

Air spray

Airless spray (single-feed pump)

Brush/roller

• Usually the recommended dry film thickness cannot be achieved in a single brush/roller coat.

Supplementary parameters

Recoat interval for a coating up to 75 µm (3.0 mils) dry film thickness

Notes

• The surface must be clean, dry and free of all contaminants.
• The above data are reasonable indicators for common application conditions.
• With excessive film thickness or adverse climatic conditions, longer drying times may be required.

Curing time of the coating applied without any added solvent

Safety Precautions

• For the coating and its recommended thinners, see Safety Sheets 1430 and 1431 and the relevant Material Safety Data Sheet.
• This is a solvent-borne coating. Avoid inhaling spray mist and solvent vapours, and avoid contact of uncured paint with skin and eyes.
