Application Details
Surface Preparation
Remove any oil, grease, dirt and any other contaminants from the surface before painting by proper method such as solvent cleaning and fresh water washing, etc.
Application Conditions
The surface should be completely cleaned and dried. Do not apply when relative humidity is above 85 %. The surface temperature should be at least 2.7 ℃ (5 ℉) above dew point to prevent condensation. In confined areas, ventilate with clean air during application to assist solvent evaporation.
