pore free surface with very good surface adhesion. Refer to the relevant
PDS for the recommended application details etc.

The temperature will affect the pot life.
Application at temperatures above +23 °C will reduce the pot life and the
working time. Temperatures below +23 °C will increase the pot life and ex-
tend the working time.
