Listed below are general equipment guidelines for the application of this product. Job site conditions may require modifications
to these guidelines to achieve the desired results.

Roller Use a short-nap synthetic roller cover with phenolic core.

Condition Material Surface Ambient Humidity
Minimum 35°F (2°C) 35°F (2°C) 35°F (2°C) 0%
Maximum 120°F (49°C) 165°F (74°C) 120°F (49°C) 95%

This product simply requires the substrate temperature to be above the dew point. Condensation due to substrate temperatures
below the dew point can cause flash rusting on prepared steel and interfere with proper adhesion to the substrate. Special
application techniques may be required above or below normal application conditions.

CURING SCHEDULE
Surface Temp. Dry to Handle Dry to Touch Final Cure General
45°F (7°C) 7 Days 8 Hours 28 Days
60°F (16°C) 2 Days 4 Hours 14 Days
75°F (24°C) 16 Hours 1 Hour 7 Days
90°F (32°C) 16 Hours 1 Hour 5 Days
105°F (41°C) 12 Hours 1 Hour 3 Days

These times are based on a 2.0-3.0 mil (50-75 micron) dry film thickness. Higher film thickness, insufficient ventilation, high
humidity or cooler temperatures will require longer cure times and could result in solvent entrapment or premature failure. Note:
Dry to recoat time is 24 hours at 75°F (24°C).
