Applications & Uses

Adhesive & Sealant Type
Dosage

Can be added at any manufacturing step. Can be post-added. 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 0.3% on degreased substrates, not rusted, sand-blasted or not.
  • 0.3 to 1.0% on cast-iron or rusted substrates, on welds.
  • 0.3 to 1.5% for packaging protection. Above dosages can be increased when the coating is applied in severe conditions of ambient humidity.
