- Mixing Instructions
Shake component A in a paint shaker for 5 – 10 minutes for optimal results.
Admix by volume:
2 Part Component A (Base)
1 Part Component B (Catalyst)Add the Catalyst into the Base.
Admixed material should be allowed a 15-minute induction time for best application results.Reduce: Use reducer PT-1003 Type II no more than 10% by volume.
- Application
This product can be applied by brushing, rolling or using conventional air spray equipment, HVLP spray system. Please consult with a PTI representative for specific equipment recommendations and settings.
- Make sure pots, guns, and lines are purged and cleaned
- Mix both base and catalyst thoroughly and filter/strain before spray application. Note: It is not recommended to strain flat/matte coatings.
- HVLP spray pressure: 7-10psi. Conventional spray pressure 15-30psi
- Always air-blow and tack wipe the surfaces to be painted. Aircraft should be grounded to prevent static.
- Best application results: fullest coverage apply 3 coats: 1 fog/tack coat & 2 full coats 0.6 – 1 mil thickness.
- Do not allow more than 48 hours to pass before applying the second coat.
- Recommended Dry Film Thickness is 1-2 mils. Some colors may require thicker films to achieve hiding.
- For wet sanding or buffing of coating, wait a minimum of 13 hours but not more than 26 hours. Note: If paint is allowed to cure for more than 48 hours wet sanding and buffing is not possible.
NOTE: Application of PTI products requires the use of all OSHA approved safety equipment, including proper ventilation. Additionally, PTI products require the recommended temperature/humidity conditions and film thickness ranges for optimal performance. The material, hangar, and aircraft skin temperatures should be no lower than 75°F / 25°C before, during and after application.
- Drying and Curing Schedule
Dry times are based on the dry film thickness between 1-2 mils (25-50 microns).
Air Dry Times (75°F / 25°C and 50% Relative Humidity)
Set to touch: 4 hours
Dry hard: 8 hours
Full chemical: 7 days minimumForce Dry Times: Must Air Dry For At Least 15 Minutes.
Dry hard: 2 hours at 150⁰F.
Full chemical: After “dry hard” 2 hours at 225⁰F- Equipment Cleaning
Use clean PT-1003 Type II Reducer. Do not allow material to dry or cure inside any equipment.
