Apply in two spray coats with 5-10 minutes intermediate flash-off time The first coat is applied with restraint, but still uniformly. Can be applied in one-and-a-half coats; that is, the first half coat forms a thin, nearly uniform film, upon which a complete, uniform coat is sprayed.

The specified thickness for the dry film is 50-70 µm.

Drying

Air drying at +18 to 22 °C ambient temperature:

Dry overnight

Final flash-off time with force drying is at least 5-10 minutes.

Force drying at +60-65 °C material temperature in 30-35 minutes.

Final flash-off time with infrared drying is at least 5-10 minutes.

Infrared drying with short-wave radiant heater, 10-15 minutes
