Processing instructions

Because of the strong yellowing, only the formulation of dark colors is recommended.

Application by spray (incl. electrostatic) and dipping.

In combination with alcoxy-functional resins, we do not recommend the use of alcohols or hydroxy-functional glycol ethers as solvents.

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

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.
