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.
• Thoroughly sanded factory paint or old paint
• 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.

• Two-Part HS Hardener -LHA 009 041 A3-
• Two-Part HS Hardener, Long -LHA 009 047 A3-
• Two-Part HS Hardener, Extra Long -LHA 009 048 A3-

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, 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.

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

• Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" 1.3 to 1.4 mm.
• Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 1.3 to 1.4 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.

• 1 to 2 spray applications are required to get the recommended dry layer thickness of 25 to 30 um.

The drying time before continuing work is 15-20 minutes at +20 ºC (68 ºF)room temperature (maximum 8 hours before applying the top coat).

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 % Two-Part Elastic Additive -ALZ 011 001-. 3:1 mixture ratio for VHS hardeners with 20% thinner, 2:1 mixture ratio for HS hardeners with 20 % thinner.

Note

The drying time before applying the base paint or two-part top coat increases to 30 to 45 minutes.

Personal Protective Equipment:

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