Dilution

BONDERITE® L-FG F 31 is supplied as a concentrate and can normally be diluted with ordinary tap water prior to use. The dilution ratio varies according to the difficulty of the job and the degree of cooling. Important: Add water to concentrate, not the reverse. Stir the concentrate thoroughly then slowly add one-part water while stirring until the mixture is homogenous. The remaining water may be added rapidly while stirring until the desired dilution and consistency are reached.

Application

For best results BONDERITE® L-FG F 31 should be applied by conventional spray techniques. Spray application provides uniform coating thickness, complete die coverage and lower friction values.
