The two-part vario filler is a high-quality, variable VOC compliant, acrylic-based two-part HS filler.
Properties:
Can be used as sanding filler and as wet-in-wet filler
Use with HS and VHS hardeners
Has good insulation properties, even with thermoplastic old plastic
Very nice paint finish
Application Instructions
Base Surface
Suitable base surfaces:
Sheet steel that has been cleaned, sanded and primed with Two-Part Wash Primer -LHV 043 000 A2- or One-Part Wash Primer -LVM 044 007/171 A2-, galvanized/electrolytically zinced sheet steel or soft aluminum
Fine or non-sanded, thoroughly cleaned, original factory primer.
Cleaned and sanded, galvanized/electrolytically zinced sheet steel or soft aluminum
Sanded factory paint or old paint (including thermoplastic coatings)
Surfaces prepared with two-part polyester products and then sanded very fine.
Cleaned and sanded UP-GF surfaces, free of separating agents
Pre-treatment of base surfaces:
Carefully clean using Silicone Remover -LVM 020 000 A5- or Silicone Remover, Long -LVM 020 100 A5-.
Then, sand.
Use a suitable cleaning agent before reworking to ensure a clean and residue-free surface.

Application type “coat”
Processing viscosity 4 mm for +20 °C, (68 °F) German Industry Standardization 53211
Processing viscosity 4 mm gravity feed spraygun “Compliant” and “HVLP”:
DIN 4 mm: 16 to 18 seconds
Adding 20 to 25 % HS hardener or 30 % VHS hardener at +20 °C material temperature
Use a measuring stick to mix when pouring in the hardener.
Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): “Compliant” 1.2 to 1.4 mm.
Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): “HVLP” 1.3 to 1.5 mm.
Set spray pressure (see manufacturer's information): “Compliant” to 2.0 to 2.5 bar.
Set atomizing pressure (see manufacturer's information): “HVLP” 0.7 bar.
The recommended dry layer thickness is between 25 and 30 µm. 1 to 2 spray applications are required to get this dry layer thickness.
“Wet-in-wet” Use
Ventilation time before applying top coat at +20 °C room temperature:
15 to 20 minutes up to a maximum of 90 minutes for two-part HS top coat
25 to 30 minutes up to a maximum of 90 minutes for water-based base paint
30 to 35 minutes up to a maximum of 90 minutes for Aqua premium water-based base paint
Reworking as “wet-in-wet” Filler
Can be painted over with:
Water-based base paint and two-part HS clear coat
Two-Part HS Top Coat
Special Instructions
Elastification for rigid and semi-rigid plastics:
The base material must first be mixed with 15 % Elastic Additive -ALZ 011 001-. 3:1 mixing ratio for VHS hardener and 20% thinner, 2:1 mixing ratio for HS hardener with 20 % thinner. Any faults in the base surface can be filled with two-part polyester filling paste. After drying and intermediate sanding, insulate the filler patches with two-part HS vario filler. In order to achieve the best surface finish for vehicle painting, we recommend the filler be sanded after it dries over night. Do not use the wet-in-wet process on thermoplastic factory paint, and if possible let the filler air-dry overnight before sanding it.
When air drying, a minimum of +15 °C is recommended.
Caution Allow for a ventilation time of 30 to 40 minutes before applying the base paint/two-part top coat series.
