Product Description

These two-part performance fillers are high-quality two-part HS acrylic-resin-based fillers.

Properties:

• Dries quickly
• Very good spray mist characteristics
• Great stability under load
• Sands very well
• High solid content provides a high yield

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-.

• Then, sand.

• Use a suitable cleaning agent before reworking to ensure a clean and residue-free surface.

Note

Stirring the Two-Part HS Performance Filler -LVM 014 ...- in the mixer is recommended.

Processing

Mixture ratio:

5:1 by volume with:

• Two-Part VHS Performance Hardener -LVM 009 038 A2-
• Two-Part VHS Performance Hardener, Long -LVM 009 039 A2-
• (for very high technological resistance)

Note

• Measuring by weight is possible with the Wizard Plus.
• Please observe the country-specific explosion protection regulations.

Processing time/pot life:

• Ready to spray 45 to 75 minutes at +20 ºC (68 ºF) (depending on the hardener and thinner 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 to 15 % VHS performance hardener at +20 ºC (68 ºF) material temperature.

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

• 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.

• One to three spray applications (with intermediate drying time) are required to get the recommended dry layer thickness of between 60 and 250 um.

Drying

The material can be sanded after 2 to 3 hours (layer thickness of 60 to 150 um after air drying at +20 ºC (68 ºF) room temperature).

If the applied layer thickness is between 150 and 250 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 15 to 20 minutes for a layer thickness of between 60 and 150 um; 20 to 25 minutes for a layer thickness of between 150 and 250 um

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

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)

Further Processing

• Dry-sand with rotary sander and dust extraction. P500-600 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-. 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 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.
• When air drying, a minimum of +15 ºC (59 ºF) is recommended.

Personal Protective Equipment:

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