SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS

·          Recommended proportions: 100 pbw paint + 1 pbw catalyst + diluent as needed.

·          Cure at room temperature.

·          Must be used with primers Dow Corning DC 1200, General Electric SS 4044 or SS 4155 for better adhesion. Avoid primers containing dyes. For non-metallic substrates use A 1100.

·          When the paint is applied to a high as substrate, a layer thickness of at least 200mm is required if low final absorbtance is required.

·          S13GLO-1 is out of trade. The latest and more stable version is S13GP : 6N/LO-1.
