• Ready to spray in 60 to 90 minutes at +20 ºC (68 ºF) (depending on the hardener used)

Application type "coat"

• Processing viscosity at +20 ºC (68 ºF) material temperature is the mixing viscosity for "Compliant" and "HVLP".

• Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" 1.2 to 1.3 mm.
• Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 1.3 to 1.4 mm.
• Set spray pressure (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" to 2.0 to 2.5 bar.
• Set atomizing pressure (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 0.7 bar.

• Apply 1.5 coats.

Note

During the spray application process, the first half spray application should form a thin, nearly complete film upon which a fully-completed spray application can be applied.

• The recommended dry layer thickness is between 50 and 60 um.

• Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 1.3 to 1.4 mm.
• Set spray pressure (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" to 2.0 to 2.5 bar.
• Set atomizing pressure (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 0.7 bar.

• Apply 1.5 coats.

Note

• During the spray application process, the first half spray application should form a thin, nearly complete film upon which a fully-completed spray application can be applied.
• When using as a clear coat for minimal damage repairs (clever repair procedure), 12.4 % Two-Part Thinner, Special -LVM 009 200 A2- can be replaced with 12.5 % HS Spot Thinner -LVM 006 000 A2-. Do not apply on slanted surfaces.

• The recommended dry layer thickness is between 50 and 60 um.

Drying

Air dry at +20 ºC (68 ºF) room temperature:

• Dust dry after 20 to 30 minutes
• Ready for assembly after 4 to 5 hours
• Dry overnight

Final drying time with forced drying is a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes.

Forced dry at +60 ºC (140 ºF) object temperature for 20 to 30 minutes

Final drying time for IR drying is at least 5 minutes.

IR dry with a short-wave heater for 10 to 15 minutes and with a medium-wave heater for 15 to 20 minutes

Special Instructions

Elastification for rigid and semi-rigid plastics:

• The base material must first be mixed with 15 % Elastic Additive -ALZ 011 001-.
• Mixture with two-part HS hardeners, 2:1
• Mixing two-part VHS hardeners, 3:1 with 20 % thinner (drying extends this).

When using as a clear coat for minimal damage repairs (clever repair procedure), 12.5 % Two-Part Thinner, Special -LVM 009 200 A2-/-LVM 009 200 A5- can be replaced with 12.5 % HS Spot Thinner -LVM 006 000 A2-. Do not apply on slanted surfaces.
