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.
