- Instructions For Use
- For optimum performance, Andisil® SF 265 Fluid should be diluted with solvent prior to use. A common dilution ratio is 100 parts by weight of solvent to 1.0 to 2.0 parts by weight of the product. Suitable solvents to use are aromatic solvents, such as xylene and also VM&P naphtha can be used. The diluted product can be applied by brushing, spraying or wiping. It is suggested that tests be done with the diluted product under actual production conditions to determine the most suitable and economical concentration and frequency of repeated application for the specific use.
