Description

Filling polyester putty with the addition of aluminum particles, intended for filling large and deep dents and holes on larger surfaces. It is characterized by good heat dissipation and increased resistance to mechanical vibrations. Especially recommended for repairing car body elements exposed to temperature changes.

Advantages

Very good adhesion to metal.
Good heat dissipation.
Exceptional sanding properties.

Substrates

The product has very good adhesion to various surfaces. It can be applied over:

Steel and aluminum after flatting and degreasing.
Zinc coated steel after flatting and degreasing.
Sanded glass fibre (GFK/GRP), polyester putties, acrylic and epoxy primers.
Well sanded old or factory top coats.

Caution: Do not apply the putty directly on the reactive primers, 1K acrylic and nitrocellulose products.

Mixing ratio by weight
100 : 2
Pot life
4 ÷ 7 min. / 20°C
Hardening time
20 ÷ 30 min. / 20°C
P80 ÷ P120
P120 ÷ P320

Use
Filling polyester body filler recommended for mending panels exposed to temperature changes.

Mixing ratio by weight
Body filler: 100
Hardener: 2
Stir thoroughly until a homogenous paste is achieved. Be careful not to create air inclusions.

Layer thickness
Body filler can be applied in several thin layers. Before applying each new coat wait until the latter has fully dried. Do not exceed a total thickness of 3 mm.
Pot life 4÷7 min. at 20°C

Hardening time
20÷30 min. at 20°C.
Temperature below 20°C significantly increases the hardening time.

Sanding
Coarse sanding (dry): P80÷P120.
Finishing sanding (dry): P120÷P320.

IR drying
5÷7 min. under short waves, depeding on the total layer thickeness and type of radiator
Do not exceed maximum temperature of 60°C.
Use accordin to the instrusctions of the radiator’s manufacturer.
Wait about 5 min. before starting IR drying.

Further work
Polyester body fillers can over coated with:
- 2K polyester body fillers,
- 2K polyester spray fillers,
- 2K acrylic primers,
- 2K epoxy primers.

General notes
- Excessive amounts of hardener may cause problems with bleaching of the topcoat!
- While working with 2K products use adequate personal protection equipment. Protect the eyes and air ways.
- The rooms should be well ventilated.
- Tools should be washed directly after application.
Caution: To maintain safety, always follow the instructions given in the MSDS for the products
