Coat ( E6, E7, E8)
Description
A water reducible Alkyd finishing coat for exterior and interior use.
Recommended Uses
As a finishing coat recommended to be applied on primed substrates.
Features
• Easy to apply along with short drying times, reducing overcoating times considerably.
• Suitable to be applied in confined areas, no harmful vapors and scents are present.
• Excellent flow properties (without brush marking).
• Excellent washability, easy and low cost maintenance.
• Suitable to be tinted with a wide range of colors.
• Excellent color stability and gloss retention. Non yellowing, highly resistant to the effects of ultra-violet light and weathering.
• Suitable to be topcoated by decorative materials (Marble ALK or Marble AQ) for interior wall decoration.
Application Instruction
• Method of Application : Brush, roller, or air spray.
• Mixing : Stir well before application in order to ensure that a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Thinner / Cleaner : Water is used for thinning and cleaning. Mixing ratio with water depends mainly on temperature, method of application, and surface condition.Approximately 10-15% of water are required for dilution.
• Application Temperature : 10-40?C.
• Note : When recoating, a special attention should be given toward drying times.

Surface Preparation
Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Surface must be clean, dry, even and free of dust and other contaminants prior to coating.
Previously Painted or Primed Surfaces:
Prior to applying Jupiter coating, ensure that the coated or the primed (with Jupiter E5) surface is clean, dry and free from oil, grease, dirt, salts, and any other contaminants. All blistered and loose paint must be removed. All bare areas must be primed. Glossy surfaces should be roughened before recoating.
Be sure that Jupiter E6, E7, E8 adheres well to the existing coating prior to application to ensure good adhesion properties.
Drying Time
• Dry to Touch : 30 minutes (ASTM-D1640).
• Dry to Handle : 4 hours “minimum recoat time” (ASTM-D1640).
Storing Conditions
• Jupiter E6, E7, E8 must not be allowed to come into contact with non treated metals that are likely to corrode. Containers must be kept tightly closed. Exposure to strong heat and frost must be avoided.
• Shelf life is two years from packing date in unopened original containers at 10 to 40°C. Containers should be kept tightly closed.
Safety:
• Avoid skin or eye contact. Prolonged contact may cause irritation of the skin and mucous membranes.
