(SIGMACAP PRICOAT 155)
Substrate temperature
• Substrate temperature during application and curing should be above 5°C (41°F)
• Substrate temperature during application and curing should be at least 3°C (5°F) above dew point
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 80:20 (4:1)
• Stir well before use
• The temperature of the paint should preferably be above 15°C (59°F), otherwise extra thinner may be required to obtain
application viscosity
• Adding too much thinner results in reduced sag resistance and slower cure
• Thinner should be added after mixing the components
Induction time
None
