APPLICATION DETAILS
Application conditions All surfaces must be dry. The temperature of the ambient air, surface or paint should not fall below +5ºC during application or drying. Relative humidity should not exceed 80%. The surface temperature of the steel should remain at least 3ºC 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)
Priming Temaprime AB, Temaprime EE, Temaprime EUR, Temaprime GF, Temaprime ML and Fontecryl 10.
Finishing Temalac AB MIO and Temalac AB 70.
Painting By airless or conventional spray. Mix the paint thoroughly before use.
At airless spray application the paint should be thinned 0 - 10%. Airless spray nozzle tip 0.013" - 0.017" and nozzle pressure 120 - 160 bar. Spray angle shall be chosen according to the shape of the object.
At conventional spray application the paint should be thinned max 25% (when using Thinner 1054) or 18% (when using Thinner 1006).
Cleaning of tools Thinner 1054 or Thinner 1006.
EU VOC 2004/42/EC-limit value The Volatile Organic Compounds amount to 420 g/litre of paint.
VOC content of the paint (thinned 25 % by volume) is 500 g/l.
