- Recommended Uses
Applications include OEM horse trailer, offroad construction equipment, farm machinery, livestock equipment, waste containers, storage tanks, tractor trailers & industrial finishing where both high performance and fast production on the paint line are required.
- Surface Preparation
All substrates must be cleaned free of dust, dirt, oil (including form oils & parting compounds), grease, soap residue, wax and flaking paint. Solvent wipe and/or detergent clean surface in accordance with SSPC-SP1. Sandblast or wire-brush rusty surfaces and prime with 92 Series Alkyd Primers. For optimum adhesion and corrosion resistance, metal should be iron or zinc phosphate treated.
- Application
May be applied by air, airless, air-assisted airless, turbo or HVLP spray. Product may also be applied by dip or flowcoat. For thinning instructions, contact your local H-I-S sales representative. Recommended tip size for airless or air assisted airless spray: .011” to .015” orifice. For peak performance, 8000 or 8002 urethane converter may be added at a rate of 1 part converter to 8 parts paint by volume.
