Mixing ratio

By weight
Primer: 10
Hardener: 1
Thinner: 30÷35%

By volume
Primer: 10
Hardener: 1,5
Thinner: 30÷35%

Stir thoroughly until achieving homogenous mixture.

Spraying viscosity

30÷50 seconds at 20°C

Pot life

approx. 1,5h at 20°C.

Number of layers

1÷3 layers  Recommended coating thickness: 150÷300 μm dry (200÷450 μm wet)
Pneumatic spraying
Gun parameters RP/HVLP
Nozzle: 1,6÷2,2 mm; Inlet pressure: 2,0÷2,2 bar.
Airless spraying with air jacket*
Nozzle: 0,38÷0,43 mm; Pressure: 100÷160 bar; air jacket: 2 bar
*depending of the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer

Evaporation time

Between layers: approx. 10 minutes
Before baking: approx. 15 minutes

Evaporation time depends on the temperature and the layer thickness.

Hardening time

Depending on the layer thickness:

• at 20°C – approx. 24h
• at 60°C – approx. 45 minutes

Temperature below 20°C significantly increases the hardening time.

IR drying

10÷15 minutes of short waves for the thickness of 150÷200μm. Do not exceed 60°C. Use as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Wait about 10 minutes before starting the heater drying.

Dry sanding

Hand sanding: P280÷P320
Machine sanding: P320÷P400

General notes

• Do not exceed recommended doses of the hardener!
• The best repair results can be achieved at room temperature. The temperature in the body shop and the temperature of the
  product should be similar.
• When working with 2K products, it is recommended to use personal protection equipment. Protect the eyes and respiratory system.
• The rooms should be well ventilated.
• Clean the guns and equipment immediately after use.
• The product cannot be applied over wash primers and 1K primers.
