APPLICATION DETAILS
Application conditions All surfaces must be dry. The temperature of the ambient air, surface or paint should not fall below +10 ºC during application or drying. Relative humidity should not exceed 80 %. The surface temperature of the steel should remain at least 3 ºC above the dew point.
Preparation Primed surfaces: Oil, grease, salt and dirt are removed from the surface by appropriate means. Repair any damage to the primer coat. Note the overcoating time of primer. (ISO 12944-4)

Concrete surfaces: The surface must be dry and at least 4 weeks old. The relative humidity of the concrete should not exceed 97%. Remove any splashes and unevennesses by grinding. Remove laitance and form oil from concrete castings by sanding or blast cleaning. Any cracks, crevices and voids must be repaired with a mixture of TEMAFLOOR 200 and fine dry quartz sand.
Priming TEMACOAT GPL-S PRIMER, TEMACOAT GF PRIMER, TEMACOAT HB PRIMER, TEMACOAT PM PRIMER, TEMACOAT GPL-S MIO, TEMACOAT SPA, TEMALINE LP PRIMER, TEMAMASTIC PM 100, TEMABOND and FONTECOAT EP PRIMER.
Finishing TEMACOAT GPL.
Painting By airless spray or brush. At spray application the paint should be thinned 5 - 15 %. Airless spray nozzle tip 0.011" - 0.017" and nozzle pressure 120 - 160 bar. Spray angle shall be chosen according to the shape of the object.
At brush application the paint can be thinned according to the circumstancies.
Mixing of components First stir base and hardener separately. The correct proportions of base and hardener must be mixed thoroughly before use. Use Temaspeed Squirrel Mixer for mixing.
Cleaning of tools Thinner 1031.
EU VOC 2004/42/EC-limit value The Volatile Organic Compounds amount is 430 g/litre of paint mixture.
VOC content of the paint mixture (thinned 15 % by volume) is 495 g/l.
