Remove from the surfaces any contaminants that might be detrimental to surface preparation and application. Remove also water-soluble salts by using appropriate methods. The surfaces are prepared according to the different materials as follows: BITUMEN SURFACES: Remove from the surfaces any contaminants (e.g. grease and salts) that might be detrimental to painting. Surfaces to be painted must be dry and clean. Damaged parts are pretreated in accordance with the requirements placed by the substrate and the maintenance painting. Old bitumen membranes must be primed before application. CONCRETE SURFACES: The concrete must be at least 4 weeks old and well-hardened so that all moisture from casting is bound and the surface dry. The moisture of the concrete must nor exceed 97 % as relative humidity or 4% by weight (by 45 / BLY 7). Dense laitance is to be removed from the concrete by shot-blasting, sanding or by sand blasting. Brittle and powdery top layers are treated so that the solid concrete containing aggregate is exposed. Thereafter all cement dust is removed by vacuum cleaner or brush. The concrete surface must be clean of anything that might hinder the adhesion. GRP (Glasfiber Reinforced Plastic) COMPOSITE: Pretreat the surface using mechanical abrasive sanding P60 - P80. Remove dust. Due to varying nature of composites adhesion test is always recommended before extensive using. The place and time of the preparation are to be chosen so that the prepared surface will not get dirty or damp before the subsequent treatment. More detailed instructions available in separate system descriptions. Additional instructive information for surface preparation can be found in standards EN ISO 12944-4 and ISO 8501-2.

For two component application the components must be kept at a temperature of +20 - +25° C before use so that they are fluid enough for the feed pumps. To ensure that the product is uniform the base needs to be stirred thoroughly before use. The ratio of the dosage pump must be 1 : 1. The heating shall be adjusted so that the temperature of the components is +75 - +80°C. The hoses are heated to the same temperature. Temperature of the mixture in the nozzle must be at least +70°C. The film thickness is controlled from reference plate by dry film gauge. The recommended amount to be applied in one application is 1500 µm. Thicker films are applied in phases so that the film is left to cool down between layers. Vertical surfaces: On vertical surfaces the required thickness of paint layer is builded by spraying several bonded layers, in which case the coating underneath has time to harden to drip-free. The mixing ratio is ensured by controlling the pressure on the feed pumps and consumption of the components and also by measuring the hardness of the coating (Shore A, ISO 868). Directions given by the manufacturer of the twin-feed spray are to be followed when working.

The surface to be treated must be dry. During the application and drying period the temperature of the ambient air and the surface shall be above -10°C and the relative air humidity below 90%. The temperature of the surface to be treated must be at least +3°C above the dew point of the ambient air.

The storage stability is shown on the label. Store indoors in a cool and dry place and in a tightly closed can. The hardener reacts with air humidity. Opened can is to be carefully closed after the use and it is recommended to be used within 3 days from opening. Barrels are to be equipped with desiccant tubes.

Product is applied by hot twin-feed spray, e.g. Graco Reactor or PMC PHX-2. The components are mixed in the pistol (e.g. Graco Fusion AP or PMC AP-2). The mixing chamber and nozzle are chosen according to the object to be painted. Recommended spraying pressure is 150-160 bar.
