Mix Ratio : Mix 2 parts N-8055A with 1 part H2OB by volume.* See comments. Mixture
Reducer : Water – 1 part by volume can be used to thin to spray viscosity if necessary
Cleaning Solvent: Water
Pot Life : 4 hours at78ºF. Increases in temperature may reduce pot life.- Recommended Primers
Substrate Recommended Primer
Aluminum/Galvanized Steel/Stainless Steel B-875/T-63 or N-8564A/N-8564B Wash Primers and N-1088A/B, N-1981A/B or N-8901A/B Epoxy Primers.
Ductile or Gray Iron Castings N-1981A/B, N-8901A/B or N-1088A/B
Plastics Due to the wide variety of plastic/fiberglass substrates, system performance should be tested and confirmed on actual substrate.
Previously Painted Surfaces Surface should be intact and sound. All loose and flaking material removed and bare spots primed with an appropriate primer. An area should be tested with the coating to assure compatibility.
Steel N-5751M2 Zinc Rich Epoxy, N-1088A/B, N-1981A/B or N-8901A/B Epoxy Primers.
Wood Due to the wide variety of wood substrates, system performance should be tested and confirmed on actual substrate.

- Surface Preparation
Do not apply if the application surface temperature is below 45°F (7°C) or above 110°F (43°C), or if the surface temperature is within 5°F of the dew point. It is highly recommended that sound practices as set forth by SSPC or NACE be followed when preparing a substrate for painting. At a minimum the surface should be clean of all grease, dirt, oil, rust and foreign material that would be detrimental to proper adhesion and desired performance of the coating system being applied.
