Dosage Information
  • For good adhesion of the paint on the substrate, the surface to be coated first must be degreased and sandblasted.
  • The paint can be applied by spraying, dipping or brushing.
  • The coating can be handled after air drying, with full curing achieved after baking for 1 to 2 hours at 250.
  • Curing can be carried out at time of use (in which case, the coating should be protected during storage) or, the piece can be heat-cured immediately after application of the paint to achieve its optimum properties.
  • In the case of thick coatings, it is advisable to bring the temperature to 300°C in stages in order to avoid blistering.
  • Drying time and film thermoplasticity can be reduced by adding a catalyst such as iron octoate (ex: 0.1 to 0.5% iron octoate containing 6 % iron / solid resin.)
