Instructions for Use
Mixing Instructions |
N/A
Standard can kit (mixed in separate container): Stir or shake the base component to ensure any pigment, which may have settled on the bottom of the can, has been fully incorporated into the base. Do not stir or shake the base component longer than 5 minutes. Pour two volumes of base component into a separate clean container. Slowly add the one volume of catalyst to the two volumes base component. Mix by hand stirring, paint shaker or mechanical mixing to ensure the base/catalyst mixture is homogeneous. Do not shake or mechanically mix material for longer than 5 minutes. To the catalyzed primer, add approximately 4.5 volumes (150%) of distilled or deionized water. Slowly add the water in one-third increments, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until fully incorporated and homogeneous. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the container. Constant agitation of the material during spray application is recommended. The water is used to adjust the viscosity. Volumes of water needed may vary between 125 - 175%. Note: It is important to condition the paint for 24 hours prior to mixing by placing all materials in the shop or hangar, with ambient temperatures between 13 ºC and 35 ºC (55 ºF to 95 ºF). The minimum temperature of the paint components should be 13 ºC (55 ºF) prior to mixing. |

Applications |
N/A
Ground the aircraft and the application equipment before priming. Stir the primer slowly during the application. The suggested film thickness is 12.5 to 22.5 microns (0.5 to 0.9 mils). This can be accomplished with one medium coat with a 50% overlap. These application guidelines represent PPG's best advice in standard conditions. Some parameters will be influenced by environmental conditions, equipment settings, and other variables. |
