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 (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.

Processing

Mixture ratio:

4:1 by volume with:

• Two-Part HS Hardener -LHA 009 041 A3-
• Two-Part HS Hardener, Short -LHA 021 004 A3-
• Two-Part HS Hardener, Extra Short -LHA 009 046 A2-
• Two-Part HS Hardener, Long -LHA 009 047 A3-
• Two-Part HS Hardener, Extra Long -LHA 009 048 A3-

Mixture ratio:

7:1 by volume with:

• Two-Part VHS Hardener, Short -LHA 009 050 A2-
• Two-Part VHS Hardener -LHA 009 051 A2-/-LVM 009 051 A5-
• Two-Part VHS Hardener, Long -LHA 009 052 A2-/-LHA 009 052 A3-
• Two-Part VHS Hardener, Extra Long -LHA 009 053 A2-

For elastification. Refer to → Anchor.

Processing time/pot life:

• Ready to spray 90 to 120 minutes at +20 ºC (68 ºF) (depending on the hardener used).

Thinner:

• Two-Part Thinner -LVE 009 001 A5-
• Two-Part Thinner, Long -LVM 009 300 A2-
• Two-Part Thinner, Plus -LHA 014 000 A5-
• Two-Part Thinner, Special -LVM 009 200 A2/A5-

Application type "coat"

• Processing viscosity 4 mm for +20 ºC (68 ºF), German Industry Standardization 53211

Processing viscosity 4 mm gravity feed spraygun "Compliant" and "HVLP" is the mixed viscosity.

Adding 10 % VHS hardener at +20 ºC (68 ºF) material temperature

Adding HS hardener is not required, but up to 10 % is possible.

• Use a measuring stick to mix when pouring in the hardener.

• Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" 1.6 to 1.8 mm.
• Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 1.5 to 1.9 mm.
• Set spray pressure (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" to 1.5 to 3.0 bar.
• Set atomizing pressure (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 0.7 bar.
• Three spray applications are required to get a dry layer thickness of between 80 and 300 um.

When air drying, the maximum dry layer thickness is 300 um.

When forced drying, the maximum dry layer thickness is 250 um.

When IR drying (white and light gray), the maximum dry layer thickness is 200 um.

When IR drying (black), the maximum dry layer thickness is 180 um.

The recommended dry layer thickness is between 80 and 200 um.

Drying

The material can be sanded after 3 to 4 hours (layer thickness of 80 to 150 um after air drying at +20 ºC (68 ºF) room temperature).

If the applied layer thickness is between 150 and 300 um, the material should be allowed to dry over night and then sanded.

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

Forced drying at +60 ºC (140 ºF) object temperature for 25 to 30 minutes for a layer thickness of between 80 and 150 um; 35 to 45 minutes for a layer thickness of between 150 and 250 um

Final drying time for IR drying is a minimum of 5 to 15 minutes.

IR drying (depending on layer thickness) with medium-wave heater for 15 to 20 minutes and short-wave heater for 10 to 15 minutes

Further Processing

• Dry-sand with rotary sander and dust extraction. P400-500 grit sandpaper

• Wet-sand with P800-1000 grit sandpaper

Reworking

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 HS hardener without thinner, 4:1 mixing ratio for VHS hardener with 5 % 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 premium filler.
• The best insulating effect, even with critical surfaces, is achieved with a medium layer of 80 to 120 um 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.

Personal Protective Equipment:

• Note the safety data sheets
• Wear the personal protective equipment during application
