Product may be specified in another film thickness than indicated depending on purpose and area of use. This will alter spreading rate, drying and curing time and overcoating interval. For best performance, avoid excessive film thickness.

Application conditions

To avoid condensation, apply on a clean and dry surface with a temperature that is at least 3°C [5°F] above the dew point.

Surface temperature must be above 15°C [59°F] during application and curing.

The film formation may be adversely affected by light rain, high humidity and/or condensation during application and the following interval after application: “6 hours, 20°C/68°F”.

To avoid condensation, apply on a clean and dry surface with a temperature that is at least 3°C [5°F] above the dew point.

Relative Humidity
Relative humidity must be below 85% during application.
