Suitable Surfaces:

– Steel and non-ferrous metals properly cleaned and primed with Colorama PRIMALKYD Fast.
– Surface must be clean, dry & free of dust, dirt, grease, oil & rust

Bare Steel:

Cleanliness: Blast – cleaning to Sa2 1/2 (ISO-8501-1:2007). Power tool cleaning to min. St2 (ISO 8501- 1:2007) may be acceptable, subject to exposure conditions.

Shopprimed Steel:

Clean, dry and undamaged approved shopprimer

Coated Surfaces:

Clean, dry and undamaged compatible primer .

Other Surfaces:

For aluminums substrates , thorough washing and sweeping with a nonmetallic blast medium is
required.

Application Conditions:

Substrate temperature should be 5°C or above for application and during cure, and a minimum of 3°C above the dew point. Adequate dry air ventilation is recommended for optimum drying.

Application Information:

Thinning should only take place after the material has been thoroughly mixed.

Brush and Roller: 

Thin if required with 0-10% COLORAMA Thinner 921.

Conventional Air Spraying:

– Thin with 5-15% COLORAMA Thinner 921, as required
– Tip size – 2.0 mm
– Tip pressure – 60 psi (0. 4Mpa) approximately

Airless Spraying:

– Thin with 0-10% COLORAMA Thinner 921, as required.
– Tip size – (0.4-0.5mm) approximately
– Tip pressure – (120-150) atm. approximately

Cleaning Thinner:

Equipment should be cleaned immediately Auer use with COLORAMA Thinner 921.

Drying time:

Drying times are affected by air ventilation, temperature, film thickness and number of coats.
Substrate Temp.                               10° C                   25° C                  40° C
Surface Dry (min.)                            20                         10                        6
Through Dry (h)                                 3                           2                          1
Dry to recoat, minimum (h)             6                          4                            2
The given data serve as guideline only. The actual drying time differs according to film thickness,
ventilation, humidity and underlying paint system.

Storage:

Keep the containers in a dry, cool, well ventilated space and away from source of heat and ignition. Containers must be kept tightly closed.

Handling:

Handle with care. Stir well before use.

Packing Size:

5 L & 18 L
