Equipment from other manufactures may be used.

Adjustments of pressure and change of tip size may be

needed to obtain the proper spray characteristics.

1-Airless spray:standard airless spray equipment having

a 28:1 or higher pump ratio and a  fluid tip with a 0.33 to 0.381 mm

orifice.

2-Conventional spray:industrial equipment with suitable

aircap having  a fluid tip with a 1.6-1.8mm orifice .

3- Mixer

4-Brush

Caution

1-Handle with care.

2-HARMFUL or fatal if swallowed;immediately seek

medical assistance.

3-Avoid inhalation of possible solvent vapours

or paint mist,as well as paint contact with skin and eyes.

in confined spaces or when the air is stagnant.

5-Use fresh air masks and explosion proof equipment. 

6-Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

 Application procedure

1-Flush equipment with recommended cleaner before use.

2-Stir paint  for 5 minutes.

3-For spray,thin only as needed for workability

4-Apply a wet coat in even, parallel passes.overlap

each pass 50% to avoid bare areas,pinholes or holidays.

5-Small damaged or bare areas and random pinholes or

holidays can be touched up by brush.

6-Clean all equipment with recommended cleaner

immediately after use.

Environmental condition 

      Environmental temperature must be 10-40^°c.

      Surface temperature must be at least 3^°c above dew point

      to prevent condensation. At freezing temperature surface

      must be free of ice and relative humidity below  80 %.

Surface preparation

The surface must be clean and dry .all dirt, grease and other

foreign materials ` should be removed .old primed surface

must be smoothly wire brushed.
