Specifications
• Packaging size: 18L
• Colours: White
• Solids by volume: 33 ± 2 volume%
Application data
• Remarks: Handle with care. Stir well before use.
• Application equipment / methods: By brush, roller, airless spray or conventional spray.
• Guiding data for airless spray:
   - Nozzle tip: 0.021–0.027"
   - Spray angle degrees: 65–80°
   - Pressure at nozzle: 140 - 190 kg/cm² (2100 psi)
• Spreading rate per coat:
   - Theoretical: 11 m²/l - 8 m²/l
   - Spreading rate depends on film thickness applied, type of texture, surface porosity, imperfections, temperature, wastage during painting etc.
• Recommended film thickness per coat:
   - Wet: 83 µm - 111 µm
   - Dry: 30 µm - 40 µm
   - Film thickness will vary and is calculated as average.
• Thinner: Water
• Dilution: The paint is ready to use after proper stirring. If thinning is required, water may be added up to a maximum of 5%.
• Conditions during application:
Apply at a temperature between 10°C - 35°C. The temperature of the substrate should be minimum 3°C above the dew point of the air. The temperature and the relative humidity should be measured in the vicinity of the substrate. Good ventilation is usually required in confined areas to ensure proper drying.
• Drying times:
Drying times are generally related to air circulation, temperature, film thickness and number of coats, and will be affected correspondingly. The figures given in the table are typical with:
   - Good ventilation (Outdoor exposure or free circulation of air)
Typical film thickness
One coat on top of inert substrate
The given data must be considered as guidelines only. The actual drying time and time before recoating may be shorter or longer, depending on the ambient temperature, film thickness, ventilation, humidity, underlying paint system, requirement for early handling and mechanical strength etc.
1. Recommended data given is, for recoating with the same generic type of paint.
2. In case of multi-coat application, drying times will be influenced by the number and sequence and by the total thickness of previous coats applied.
3. The surface should be dry and free from any contamination prior to application of the subsequent coat.
The drying time is measured by stated values:
   - Relative Humidity (RH) 50 %
   - Substrate temperature 10 °C
      - Surface (touch) dry: 2 h
      - Hard dry: 8 h
      - Dry to over coat, minimum: 4 h
   - Substrate temperature 23 °C
      - Surface (touch) dry: 1 h
      - Hard dry: 6 h
      - Dry to over coat, minimum: 2 h
   - Substrate temperature 40 °C
      - Surface (touch) 0.5 h
      - Hard dry: 4 h
      - Dry to over coat, minimum: 1 h
