Synthetic Coat
Description
Economical air drying synthetic finishing coat based on alkyd.
Recommended Uses
Multi-purpose finishing coat used for protection and decoration of household and industrial substrates. Provides an even, tough, and durable finishing coat.
Features
• High gloss aspect
• Economical multi-purpose finishing coat.
• Excellent adhesion on metal, and primed substrates.
• Wide range of colors.
• Excellent color retention.
• Good resistance to mechanical wear and weathering.
Application Instruction
• Method of Application : Conventional spray
• Mixing : Stir well before application in order to ensure that a uniform consistency is achieved.
• Thinner / Cleaner : Azure Thinner is used for thinning and cleaning. Mixing ratio with thinner depends mainly on temperature. At 20°C, conventional spray application will need approx. 1 to 2 litre Azure thinner per gallon Azure Colorcoat
• Note : When recoating a special attention should be given toward drying times.
Technical Information
• Color : Color card or against order.
• Volume Solids : 49 % "White" (ASTM-D2697)
• Flexibility : Very good
• Recommended film thickness : 40-50 microns “dry”
• Theoretical spreading rate : 12 m²/L (White) at 40 microns “dry”
• Specific gravity : 1.245 Kg/L "White" (ASTM-D1475)
• Water resistance : Good
• Abrasian Resistance : Good
• Number of Coats : 2
• Packaging : 3.6 L in US Gallon or 0.9 L in US Quart
Surface Preparation
Coating performance is, in general, proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust and other contaminants prior to coating.
It is recommended to apply AZURE COAT on well-prepared surfaces.
PRIMING
Prepare surface in accordance with application instructions for the suitable primer being used.
The primer should be completely clean, dry, and free of oil, grease and other contaminants prior to the next stage (filling & surfacing “if required” and / or topcoating).
Notes:
• If applied directly on steel, remove all oil, grease, wax… etc from the surface to be coated by thinner S100 or Azure Thinner. Remove rust and foreign matter using a wire brush. Then clean the surface with a vacuum cleaner, dry compressed air or a clean brush and wipe the surface by thinner S100 or Azure Thinner with a clean cloth.
• Previously painted surfaces: Remove fins, flecks of old paint and other loose material with sandpaper. Roughen glossy areas by sanding then remove dust prior to coating and wipe the surface by Azure Thinner with a clean cloth.
Drying Time
• Dry to Touch : 30 minutes (ASTM-D1640).
• Dry to Handle : 8 hours "minimum recoat time" (ASTM-D1640).
• Note : Drying times can be affected by many factors such as temperature, ventilation and coat thickness. Higher temperatures will shorten the drying times
Storing Conditions
• AZURE COAT has to be kept in a cool and well-ventilated place, protected from heat and direct sunlight. Azure is classified under highly flammable materials.
• Shelf life is 18 months from packing date in unopened original containers at 5 to 40°C. Containers should be kept tightly closed.
Safety
• Well-ventilated conditions should be provided during application.
• Do not breathe or inhale mist.
• Wear air-mask and avoid skin or eye contact.
