Processing instructions

Use with metallic pigments and special formulations to obtain continuous heat-resistance of up to 650 °C.

Surface pre-treatment: Degreasing and shot-blasting is recommended.

Formulated coatings exhibit corrosion protection after air-drying. Full protection develops when the objects are exposed to the operating conditions. Handling and transport are possible without intermediate baking.

We recommend a mixture of xylene with polar solvents as i-butanol or butylacetate (e.g. i-butanol/xylene = 1:10).

Handling & storage

When stored in an original unopened packaging, the product has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.

Contact with tin (e.g. with metal containers) will shorten the storage stability. Keep dry. Contact with moisture causes gelation.
