DIRECTIONS
- Clean and degrease surface thoroughly before application (use one of the CRC precision cleaners or Lectra Clean as appropriate).
- Shake aerosol can well; red formulation contains an agitator ball for pigment dispersion. Stir or mix bulk product to homogenize. Repeat while using. Petroleum solvents (white spirit,…) may be used to dilute the bulk product to the required viscosity and film thickness.
- Apply in light, even coats. Best results are obtained with 2 (or even more) lighter rather than 1 heavy coat. Additional coats can be applied when first coat is dry (20-25 min.). For maximum adhesion, 2nd coat must be applied within 48 hours.
- Due to slow cross linking reaction, room temperature curing takes over 1 week to obtain final film hardness. However, cured for handling is already reached in 1 day.
- Accelerated curing can be accomplished by baking up to 80°C. Total curing thus takes only 8 to 12 hours, increasing final hardness and chemical resistance of film .Cured for handling is reached in 2 to 3 hours.
- For dipping applications it is advised to cover the bath when not in use and to prevent skin formation by keeping air out (e.g. by nitrogen blanketing). Rags or filters heavily contaminated with these products should be protected from auto-ignition by soaking with water or cleaning (e.g. with CRC Lectra Clean).
- When finished spraying, clear valve by turning can upside down and pressing button until only propellant escapes. If clogging occurs, remove button and clean orifices with fine wire.
- If necessary remove with CRC Lectra Clean (if curing has only started) or CRC Gasket Remover (for fully cured films).
- Do not use on energized equipment. Use in well ventilated area.
- A safety data sheet (MSDS) according EU directive 93/112 is available for all CRC products.
