High-Gloss DTM Polyurethane
(Formerly CenturyExtreme 602)

Description

The 602 Series is a direct-to-metal (DTM), high gloss polyurethane coating designed to provide corrosion protection and a tough, glossy, light‐stable finish direct to properly prepared steel substrates. This product line has excellent adhesion, hardness, impact resistance, chemical resistance and exterior UV stability and is formulated for VOC Compliance (<2.8 lb./gal).

Suggested uses

The 602 Series is intended for use over properly prepared steel substrates and is designed to provide a durable, high gloss, chemical resistant exterior finish.

• Steel Storage tanks
• Railcar
• Heavy Equipment
• Trailer Chassis and Frame
• Marine/OEM/Industrial Maintenance

Mixing

COMPONENTS
Base: 602_3-xxx (Example: 602B3-116)
Activator: 652V-100
Accelerator: 10T-172

MIX RATIO
4:1 By Volume
4 Parts Base : 1 Part Activator

REDUCTION
No reduction necessary for airless spray under most conditions. If thinning is desired,
reduce with xylene or MEK, adding no more than 3% by volume. Contact your Axalta
representative for additional solvent recommendations.

POT LIFE
@ 105°F / 40°C = 45 Min.
@ 77°F / 25°C = 2 Hr.
@ 60°F / 15°C = 2.5 Hr.

Application

SURFACE PREPARATION
This product can be applied over a properly cured compatible epoxy primer or a surface prepared to SSPC‐SP 6, 7 or 10 with a 1.5 ‐ 3.0 mil (38‐76 micron) abrasive blast profile. Poor surface preparation will reduce the overall performance and service life of the coating. For best results, surfaces should be clean, dry and free of loose rust, dust, dirt, oil, grease, salt deposits or other contaminants. If applying over an unknown, previously installed coating, test an inconspicuous area for lifting or softening of existing coating prior to full application.

APPLICATION
Substrate and air temperatures must be at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point and rising. Water condensation on the new film may cause surface imperfections and poor cure. Do not
apply when Relative Humidity exceeds 85%. Avoid placing freshly painted components outdoors under wet, rainy conditions. Lower temperatures (< 60°F) will increase dry times.
Do not use this product when temperatures fall below 50 ̊F. Substrate temperatures above 120 ̊F may cause the product to sag, curtain, or run.
