DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Surface Preparation

General
• Can be applied directly over blasted steel substrate
• Suitable epoxy primer (Apcodur CP 689 / Apcodur CP 682); dry and free from all contamination
• In case of recoating interval exceeds 5 days, the painted surface should be thoroughly roughened &
cleaned well prior to painting
• Surfaces must be dry, clean and free from contaminants
• Ensure removal of dirt, dust, oil and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the
coating. Oil and grease should be removed as per SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning
• Surface should be checked and treated in accordance with ISO 8504 prior to priming
• Where necessary remove weld spatter, weld seams and sharp edges prior to application of primer

 Blast Cleaning
• Steel, abrasive blast clean to min. Sa 2.5 Swedish specification. Incase oxidation has occurred
between blasting and application of primer, the surface should be re-blasted
• A blasting profile of (Rz) 50-75 µm is recommended
• Any surface defect revealed by the blast cleaning process should be corrected or treated
appropriately (grinding, filling etc.)

Application Conditions

• Substrate temperature should be at least 3°C above dew point but not above 50°C
• Relative humidity should be below 85%
• Good ventilation is required in confined areas to ensure proper curing

Mixing

• Apcoguard CF 705 is supplied in two packs. Stir the base and hardener separately. If settling is
observed in the base or hardener, loosen the settled material with the help of hand stirrer followed by
power driven stirrer (at lower RPM) for quick homogenous mixing
• Mix hardener gradually into the base under continuous stirring as per the mixing ratio. Once the unit
has been mixed, it should be consumed within the working pot life. In case of part mixing (which
should be avoided), close the lids of containers tightly to avoid contact with atmospheric moisture
• Addition of excessive thinner will lead to reduced sag resistance

Mixing Ratio Base : Hardener

(by volume) 4 : 1
Induction Time 30 minutes
Pot Life at 30°C 3 hour

 Cleaning

• Do not allow the product to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment. Clean all equipments
immediately after use with Thinner T 141. It is recommended to periodically flush out spray equipment
during the course of the working day. The frequency of cleaning will depend on amount sprayed,
temperature and time gap
• All surplus material and empty containers should be disposed off in accordance with appropriate
regional legislation

Product Characteristics

• Full cure must be allowed prior to subjecting coating system to service conditions
• Product will tend to discolor on exposure to sunlight. Discoloration may also be visible on immersion
and submerged conditions without affecting the performance
• For system recommendation or any specific query, please consult Asian Paints PPG technical
representative
• The application parameters to be adjusted at site depending on line conditions
• In confined tank/areas, relative humidity to be controlled using de-humidification unit

SAFETY INFORMATION

• As a general safety measure, inhalation of solvent vapours or paint mist and contact of liquid paint
with skin & eyes, should be avoided. Forced ventilation should be provided when applying paint in
confined spaces or stagnant air. Even when ventilation is provided, respiratory, skin and eye
protection are always recommended when spraying paint
