Application
Prepare according to specification. Apply only on a dry and clean surface with a temperature above the dew point to avoid condensation. Minimum temperature for curing is: -10°C/14°F At the freezing point and below be aware of the risk of ice on the surface, which will hinder adhesion. The film formation may be adversely affected by light rain, high humidity and/or condensation during application and the following interval after application: 8 hours , 20°C/68°F In confined spaces provide adequate ventilation during application and drying.
When specified as a one coat “Direct to Metal”-system follow “Good Painting Practise” and apply stripe coating before the spray application on areas difficult to cover properly by spray application. Even small traces of water in the mixed paint will reduce the pot life and result in film defects.
