Toxicity

Part B contains polymeric diisocyanate. High concentrations can occur in inadequately ventilated environments when this is sprayed, aerosolized or heated. In such cases, respiratory protection must be worn.


Cure

The coating will set in 30 seconds when applied to an insulated surface. A complete cure can take several hours depending on the ambient temperature.


Clean up

Spray equipment may be cleaned with T-5112 thinner.
