• Usage Information:
  • Method of Use:
    • Mixing/Blending/Dilution
      • BONDERITE® S-FN 213 ACHESON is supplied as a concentrate. Add a small amount of the diluent slowly while stirring. The dilution ratio will depend on the viscosity required by the application method chosen, but in no case should the ratio exceed 1:2 (product:diluent).
    • Surface Preparation
      • Substrates should be clean and dry. A chemical rinse or sandblast is usually sufficient to key the surface properly. However, if maximum adhesion is required, the combination of cleaning and surface pre-treatment by mechanical or chemical means is essential.
    • Application
      • BONDERITE® S-FN 213 ACHESON should be thoroughly mixed prior to use and agitated periodically during use. The material can be applied by standard spray or dip methods. An external atomizing type spray gun is recommended with air pressure in the range of 25 to 40 psi (2 to 3 metric atmospheres). For maximum corrosion resistance use the appropriate surface pre-treatment, then spray apply multiple coats with a ten minute air dry between coats. Allow the final coat to air dry before oven curing.
      • AVOID DRY SPRAY, as this will cause poor adhesion. To reduce over spray, use the minimum atomization pressure required for adequate coverage.
    • Curing
      • The applied film should be air dried for about 10 minutes before baking to avoid trapping any solvents. The recommended cure cycle is 177°C (350°F) for 60 minutes or 220°C (425°F) for 20 minutes.
