Processing with Two-Part HS Hardeners
Mixture ratio:
2:1 by volume with:
Two-Part HS Hardener -LHA 009 041 A3-
Two-Part HS Hardener, Short -LHA 021 004 A3-
Two-Part HS Hardener, Long -LHA 009 047 A3-

For Elastification. Refer to → Anchor.
Processing time/pot life:
Ready to spray in 60 to 90 minutes at +20 C (68 F) (depending on the hardener used)
Application type "coat"
Processing viscosity at +20 C (68 F) material temperature is the mixing viscosity for "Compliant" and "HVLP".
Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" 1.2 to 1.3 mm.
Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 1.3 to 1.4 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.
Apply 1.5 coats.
Note During the spray application process, the first half spray application should form a thin, nearly complete film upon which a fully-completed spray application can be applied.
The recommended dry layer thickness is between 50 and 60 mm.

Processing time/pot life:
Ready to spray in 60 to 90 minutes at +20 C (68 F) (depending on the hardener used)
Application type "coat"
Processing viscosity at +20 C (68 F) material temperature is the mixing viscosity for "Compliant" and "HVLP".
Add 12.5 % Two-Part Thinner, Special -LVM 009 200 A2-/-LVM 009 200 A5- /Two-Part Thinner, Long -LVM 009 300 A2- at + 20 C (68 F) material temperature.
Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" 1.2 to 1.3 mm.
Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 1.3 to 1.4 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.
Apply 1.5 coats.
Note During the spray application process, the first half spray application should form a thin, nearly complete film upon which a fully-completed spray application can be applied. When using as a clear coat for minimal damage repairs (clever repair procedure), 12.4 % Two-Part Thinner, Special -LVM 009 200 A2- can be replaced with 12.5 % HS Spot Thinner -LVM 006 000 A2-. Do not apply on slanted surfaces.
The recommended dry layer thickness is between 50 and 60 mm.
Drying
Air dry at +20 C (68 F) room temperature:
Dust dry after 20 to 30 minutes
Ready for assembly after 4 to 5 hours
Dry overnight
Final drying time with forced drying is a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes.
Forced dry at +60 C (140 F) object temperature for 20 to 30 minutes
Final drying time for IR drying is at least 5 minutes.
IR dry with a short-wave heater for 10 to 15 minutes and with a medium-wave heater for 15 to 20 minutes
Special Instructions
Elastification for rigid and semi-rigid plastics:
The base material must first be mixed with 15 % Elastic Additive -ALZ 011 001-.
When using as a clear coat for minimal damage repairs (clever repair procedure), 12.5 % Two-Part Thinner, Special -LVM 009 200 A2-/-LVM 009 200 A5- can be replaced with 12.5 % HS Spot Thinner -LVM 006 000 A2-. Do not apply on slanted surfaces.
