After activating, thoroughly shake the can again for at least two minutes.

Processing time/pot life:

48 hours at +20 °C

Note The processing time depends on the ambient temperature. Higher temperatures lead to a shortened pot life. Lower temperatures lead to a longer pot life.

Application type “coat”

Apply one to two spray applications to cover (each application 30 µm) with a 10 to 15 minute intermediate ventilation time, depending on temperature.

Spraying distance:

Maintain a distance of 20 to 25 cm.

Note If the spraying procedure is interrupted, make sure that the valve above the spray head is empty to prevent any nozzle blockage.

The drying time with forced drying is at least 10 to 15 minutes.

Forced drying is at +60 °C object temperature for 35 to 40 minutes.
