APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
Pre-treatment All substrates are to be cleaned & should be free from grease, oil & dust
A suitable chromate conversion coating is recommended for Aluminum
substrate.
Passivated Zinc phosphate coating is recommended for steel substrate.
for better results Sand Blasting / Grit blasting to at least SA 2.5 followed
by passivated tri-cationic phosphating process with coating weight of 2-3
gm/sq.mt is recommended
Application voltage 60 – 90 KV
Earthing Proper & good
Compress air Free from moisture, oil, dust & other impurities through flat jet spray
nozzle
Thorough cleaning of the application & recovery system required between each change in powder to
avoid contaminations & defects
SHELF LIFE AND STORAGE
Shelf life of six months from the date of manufacturing, if stored in closed store in dry & cool atmosphere
below 30°C & 60% RH throughout the period.
The cartons should be stacked 1+4 high. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, heat and high humidity. Partly
used material must be tightly closed after each removal and stored carefully inside the carton to avoid
contamination & absorption of moisture.
