Surface Preperation
This being a top coat, which is applied over, primer or intermediate coats, the surface should be free from oil, moisture, dust and dirt. Aged epoxy/PU coatings should be roughened by emery paper grade 400/600 for better bonding.or grinding. Acid etching may be considered for smaller areas, after etching the floor it shoul be thoroughly washed with clean water and then allowed to dry.
Application Data
MIXING RATIO : Base : Hardener – (As per our recommendations)APPLICATION : By Brush / By Conventional Spray / By Airless Spray
THINNER : Type 002
POT LIFE : 4- 6 hours min at 30® C
RECOMMENDED DFT : 30-40 µ.
OVERCOATING INTERVAL : Min. : 8 hours

Application Method
Stir the base part thoroughly. Mix the base and hardener as per our recommended ratio by volume. Stir the mix genlty to attain homogeneity. Add thinner type 002 into the mix, if required depending on the application method and then stir gently for few minutes. Allow the mixture to stand still (maturation) for about 10-15 minutes to initiate the reaction. Strain the paint throught Nylon filter cloth of 200 mesh size and apply uniformly over the surface. All equipment used for above should be properly clean.
Application : By Brush / By Conventional Spray / By Airless Spray
For Brush application, generally no thinner is required to be added. However under adverse enviornmental condition about 5% by volume thinner 002 can be added. Apply uniformly in criss-cross manner and ensure there are no misses. Use quality brushes for paint application.
For Conventional Spray application
Thinner : Type 002
Addition : 5-15%
Nozzle Orifice : 1.2 – 1.4mm
Nozzle Pressure: 40 – 70 p.s.i.
For Airless Spray application
Thinner : Type 002
Addition : Max 5% if required
Nozzle Orifice : 0.28mm – 0.37mm
Nozzle Pressure : 1400 -1800 p.s.i.
Notes
1. Do not apply paint when temperature falls below 10® C or rises above 50® C and when Relative Humidity is above 85%. Do not apply during rain, fog or mist. Surface temperature must always be minimum of 3 ® C above Dew point.
2. Brushes and spray equipment should be cleaned with KP’s recommended thinner otherwise equipment is liable to be damaged.
3. DFT variation can be obtained by change in application method / thinning ratio. Contact Khodal Paints representatives for further assistance.
4. Shelf life indicated is minimum for this Prodcut in sealed conditions and it is subject to re-inspection thereafter. Individual component is required to be stored in cool, dry and covered condition away from heat and ignition.
5. Products with a mine curing agent are also available on request.
Health & Safety
This is a solvent based paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray or eyes. Mist or vapours as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin.
