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.

Sanded factory paint or old paint (except TPA)

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-.

Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" 1.4 to 1.8 mm.
Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 1.7 to 1.9 mm.
Set spray pressure (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" to 1.5 to 2.0 bar.
Set atomizing pressure (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 0.7 bar.
Two-Part HS Performance Filler
One to three spray applications (with intermediate drying time) are required to get the recommended dry layer thickness of between 60 and 250 mm.
Two-Part HS Performance Filler

Drying

The material can be sanded after 2 to 3 hours (layer thickness of 60 to 150 mm after air drying at +20 C (68 F) room temperature). If the applied layer thickness is between 150 and 250 mm, the material should be allowed to dry over night and then sanded.
Two-Part HS Performance Filler

Final drying time with forced drying is a minimum of 5 to 15 minutes.

Two-Part HS Performance Filler
Forced drying at +60 C (140 F) object temperature for 15 to 20 minutes for a layer thickness of between 60 and 150 mm; 20 to 25 minutes for a layer thickness of between 150 and 250 mm Two-Part HS Performance Filler

Final drying time for IR drying is a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes.

Two-Part HS Performance Filler
When IR drying (depending on layer thickness), use the short-wave radiator for 10 minutes (of these, dry for 2 minutes at 50 % power and 8 minutes at 100 % power) Two-Part HS Performance Filler

Special Instructions

Elastification for rigid and semi-rigid plastics:

The base material must first be mixed with 15 % Elastic Additive -ALZ 011 001-. 4:1 mixing ratio for VHS performance hardeners and 10 % 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 VHS performance filler. The best insulating effect, even with critical surfaces, is achieved with a medium layer of 80 to 120 mm in 2 spray passes, with air-drying overnight, or oven or IR drying. With critical surfaces, fine preparation is required and the parts must be evenly filled. The Two-Part HS Vario Filler -LGF 786 004 A4- (gray) is recommended for insulating thermoplastic coatings.

When air drying, a minimum of +15 C (59 F) is recommended.
