This finish features:

• extremely high hardness
• outdoor resistance
• colour retention and non-yellowing properties
• excellent chemical resistance to aggressive substances
• very high gloss levels
• very quick drying

Treatment of surfaces to be coated

All metals must be abrasive blasted or sanded first to promote better adhesion.

Following pretreatment, clean the surface thoroughly with solvent and a good blast of compressed air.

For higher performance coating systems, you can apply specific overcoatable anticorrosive primers, such as K103 Etoplast.

Application

Apply by spraying only, with traditional airmix or airless spray equipment at low pressure. Use spray nozzles measuring between 1.0 and 1.5 mm and air pressure set to 3-4 bar.

Make sure you blend the product carefully to an even thickness of 30-40 microns.

The product air-dries at ambient temperature in approx. 30-40 minutes. If you have a baking oven or other heating systems, set to a temperature of 50-80°C, and allow for a drying time of between 30 minutes and 1 hour or more depending on the part’s thermal inertia.
