Condition during application
Apply at a temperature between 10°C and 35°C.The temperature of the substrate should be minimum 3°C above the
dew point of the air. The temperature and the relative humidity should be measured in the vicinity of the substrate.
Application methods
Spray Use airless spray or conventional spray
Brush Recommended
Roller Recommended
Application data
Mixing ratio (volume) The paint is ready to use after proper stirring. If thinning is required, water may be
added up to a maximum of 5%.
Thinner/Cleaner Water
Guiding data airless spray
Pressure at nozzle 140 - 190 kg/cm² (2100 psi)
Nozzle tip 0.021" - 0.027"
Spray angle 65° - 80°
Filter Check to ensure that filters are clean.
Drying time
Drying times are generally related to air circulation, temperature, film thickness and number of coats, and will be
affected correspondingly. The figures given in the table are typical with:
* Good ventilation (Outdoor exposure or free circulation of air)
* Typical film thickness
* One coat on top of inert substrate
* Relative humidity 70%
Substrate temperature 10°C 23°C 40°C
Surface dry 2h 1h 0.5 h
Through dry 8h 6h 4h
Dry to recoat, minimum 1 4h 2h 1h
Dry to recoat, maximum 2,3
1. Recommended data given for recoating with the same generic type of paint.
2. In case of multi-coat application, drying times will be influenced by the number and sequence and by the total
thickness of previous coats applied – reference is made to the corresponding system data sheet.
3. The surface should be dry and free from any contamination prior to application of the subsequent coat.

The given data must be considered as guidelines only. The actual drying time/times before recoating may be shorter or
longer, depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, underlying paint system, requirement for early handling and
mechanical strength etc. A complete system can be described on a system sheet, where all parameters and special
conditions could be included.
