Dosage

To be added into the final manufacturing step.
In 2K systems: should be added in the resin part in most cases (to be checked with preliminary testing).
Indicative use dosages (% of total coating weight) :

  • 0.1 to 0.5% on degreased steel, not rusted, sand-blasted or not.
  • 0.5 to 1.5% on cast-iron or rusted substrates.
  • 0.3 to 1.5% for packaging protection.
