RiteThane RT103 RAL 1033 Yellow DTMU is available in various gloss finishes. The mixing instructions are dependent on which finish you have. For specific mixing instructions, or if reducing or thinning is required, please contact your Riteks technical service representative for instructions.
- Directions for Use
Surface must be clean, dry, sound and free of dirt, dust, grease, oils, residues, waxes, water, foreign particles, and any other contaminants that may interfere with coating adhesion and intimate contact with substrate. Substrate preparation may include abrasive blasting, high pressure water/steam cleaning, chemical cleaning and/or other approved method to achieve clean and sound surface, including priming.
RiteThane RT103 RAL 1033 Yellow DTMU is designed to be applied by airless spray with 0.013-0.017” tips at 3000-5000 psi. During application, the substrate temperature must be 5 degrees above the dew point. Condensation due to substrate temperatures below the dew point can result in flash rusting on prepared steel and negatively impact adhesion to the substrate.
- Clean Up
Clean all equipment immediately after use with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), acetone, or other RT approved solvents. Use clean solvent only. In case of spill, absorb and dispose of in accordance with local, State, and/or Federal regulations.
