Suitable Surfaces

 Wood must be abraded with sand paper No. 320 and primed with Colorama MONOFOND.

Application Conditions

Substrate temperature should be 10°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 two components have been thoroughly mixed.

Brush and Roller

Thin if required with 0-5% Paint Thinner Colorama NC. Conventional Air Spraying
-Thin with 5-25% Paint Thinner Colorama NC, as required.
– Tip size – 2.0 mm
– Tip pressure – 60 psi (0.4Mpa) approximately
Airless Spraying
– Thin with 0-20% Paint Thinner Colorama NC, as required
– Tip size – 0.58-.79 mm approximately
– Tip pressure – 2100 psi (15Mpa) approximately

Cleaning Thinner

Equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with Paint Thinner Colorama NC.
