3. SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Final product quality and performance depends on careful substrate preparation. Contaminated substrates may cause
poor adhesion or defects in the final dry film. Each item to be coated must be free of all contaminants e.g. oil, grease,
detergent, rust and blast media. Substrate preparation should be based on the design requirements of the item. If
you are unsure which process is best suited to your needs please contact a Whitford representative for advice. The
following are the recommended substrates and substrate preparation used with this coating:
Substrates: Most common metals. Some plated metals.
Substrate preparation: Degrease. Light grit blast. (Not for plated substrates). An Ra (mean roughness) of 1.5
- 3.5 microns, measured using surface roughness measuring equipment is
recommended. Typically use 80 - 100 mesh (150 - 200 micron) iron free, aluminum
oxide grit. Since the Ra value achieved depends on the actual substrate, initial trials
are recommended to establish the optimum grit size and air pressure for each
substrate type. A heavyweight zinc phosphate, is recommended on mild steel.
Optional primer: None required, but to improve overall performance may be used with Xylan 4090,
Xylar 1/2.
4. PREPARATION OF COATING MATERIAL

Mixing prior to use: It is imperative that the material is adequately mixed before use. The material should
be high speed / shear mixed before use to eliminate any settling. Avoid creating foam
while mixing. Check that there is no sediment on the bottom of the container.
Recommended application The viscosity of this material will rise slowly over time but it can normally be applied in
viscosity: a viscosity range of 40 - 60 seconds in a BS 4 viscosity cup at 23°C. High viscosity
may produce poor sprayability and uneven appearance. Optimum results are obtained
when the material is at "room temperature" nominally 15 - 30°C.
Date of issue/Date of revision : 14 Apr 2016 Date of previous issue : No previous validation. Version :1 1/3
4. PREPARATION OF COATING MATERIAL

Viscosity adjustment: This material is generally suitable for application as supplied. If absolutely necessary
adjust viscosity with Whitford Solvent 91. Add thinner in 2% increments, while mixing,
until the desired application characteristics are obtained. Take care not to add too
much thinner as low viscosity may produce rapid settling, runs and sags or low film
thicknesses.
Other information This material is sieved before dispatch from our factory but as an added precaution
we recommend that you filter it through a 150 mesh (100 micron) sieve prior to use.
5. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION TECHNIQUE

Application information/ This product is designed primarily for spray application. Consult with a Whitford
technique: representative if other types of application are being considered. Use a spray gun with
a siphon cup or pressure pot. Select a fluid nozzle and air cap that meet application
needs. Whitford UK uses a DeVilbiss GTi HD spray gun with a Pro 200-14 fluid
nozzle and a GTi Pro T1 air cap.
The air supply line should be equipped with traps to remove water and oil. Drain and
service these traps frequently.
The proper amount of coating should be achieved with two or three passes of the
spray gun across the work piece. Apply the coating to a uniform, full wet appearance.
Recommended Dry Film 20 ± 5 microns.
Thickness/coat: 0.8 ± 0.2 mil.
Substrate temperature: <45°C
Number of coats Typically 1 / 2. Flash off between coats if applying multiple coats.
recommended:
Clean-up solvent: Whitford Solvent 91.
6. FLASH OFF AND CURE SCHEDULE

Please note that oven temperatures can be very different to substrate temperatures and the following cure
conditions apply to PEAK SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE.
Flash-off conditions: 10 mins. @ 95 - 120°C (200 - 250°F)
Optimum cure schedule: 20 mins. @ 240°C (465°F)
Minimum cure schedule: 30 mins. @ 205°C
Maximum cure schedule: 5 mins. @ 345°C (650°F)
Please note that higher cure temperatures may result in a darker colour.

8. SHELF LIFE, STORAGE AND HANDLING

Shelf life: 12 months
Storage: Store between the following temperatures: 5 - 35°C. Turn container(s) upside down
or high speed / shear mix the material(s) every month to maintain quality and minimize
settling. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept
upright to prevent leakage.
Avoid breathing vapours, spray or mists. Wash hands before eating, drinking or smoking. Wear appropriate
personal protective equipment. Avoid direct contact with the human body. See MSDS for more information
