GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR APPLYING SRL COATINGS
-
SURFACE PREPARATION : Surface preparation for Metal, Wood
and any other objects to be coated, should be prepared meticulously, so that,
it is free from oil, grease, salt, chloride moisture, rust etc.
-
MIXING : All the products of SRL, whether single pack or
two pack PU Coatings should be properly mixed before use,
-
POT LIFE & SHELF LIFE : In our PU coating, the Pot life is
indicated on the packaging and shelf life is one years, if stored in a dry
enclosed area below the temperature of 35 degree C.
-
THINNING : Thinning will be done with our Insulthin
Universal.
-
APPLICATION : Application may be done by brushing or
spraying and may also be done with airless spray system. Second coat must be
done after recommended drying time and as per the instructions given. However,
the curing time depends on the temperature. So, as per local condition, the
standards may change. We recommend that, the second coat should be applied in
a cross coat method.
-
CLIMATE : The substrate temperature must be above 10 degree
C. for better results. But, no coating should be permitted when the substrate
is wet from rain or dew when relative humidity is greater 85%. However, this
condition will not apply to our PU coatings and they can be applied in any
negative environmental conditions, but the substrates should be completely
dried.
-
REPAIRS : If application of the coating is less than 72
hours old, then it may be repaired by applying thinners, like Acetone, MEK for
cleaning the coat and then reapply the coating. But, if the coating is 72
hours old and above, then the surface may be cleaned up with the sand paper
and then repeat the repair process.
-
EQUIPMENT CLEAN UP : After coating is used, the equipment
must be cleaned up within 30 minutes of final use and it must be cleaned with
proper solvents, like MTO, Acetone and MEK, Any materials left in the spray
equipment/ brush will solidify and damage the equipment. Special care must be
taken with SRL PU coating and the cleaning must be done, as per
recommendations.
-
VENTILATION : PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT, THE AREA WHERE
SRLCOATING IS APPLIED, IS PROPERLY VENTILATED AND NO COATING SHOULD BE DONE IN
A CLOSED ROOM WITH NO VENTILATION AND SRL TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY IF THIS
INSTRUCTION IS NOT FOLLOWED.
-
PRIOR TO COATING : For other safety instruction, please see
the product labels.
