FAQs
What is the shelf life of this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's technical data sheet for specific shelf-life information. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can this be applied over existing paint?
Yes, it can be applied over existing, sound paint surfaces after proper preparation and adhesion testing. Ensure compatibility with the existing coating.
What is the recommended film thickness?
Recommended dry film thickness is typically 75-100 microns per coat. Refer to the technical data sheet for precise recommendations based on application method.
How should the kit components be mixed?
Mix the paint, hardener, and thinner in the proportions specified by the manufacturer. Stir thoroughly until uniform. Typically, a 2K system requires a specific ratio of components.
What is the maximum temperature it can withstand?
The coating can withstand short-term exposure up to 180°C after a full cure.
Is this product suitable for automotive bodywork?
This product is specifically formulated for heavy-duty chassis protection of trucks and commercial vehicles, not for general automotive bodywork finishes.
What safety precautions should I take during application?
Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection, especially when spraying.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or texture
Ensure proper mixing ratios and consistent application technique. Check for blockages in spray equipment and maintain correct spray distance.
Poor adhesion
Verify the substrate was adequately prepared and cleaned. Ensure the surface was free from oils, grease, or rust before application. Check for compatibility with primers if used.
Slow drying or curing
Ensure application in recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Insufficient hardener or mixing can also cause slow curing. Confirm correct product ratios were used.
Bubbling or pinholing
This can be caused by moisture or contaminants on the surface, or by applying too thick a coat. Ensure the surface is dry and clean, and apply in thinner, even coats.
