: |
2 Hours ( below 25 0C ), 1.5 Hours ( upto 40 0C )
1 Hour ( above 40 0C ) |
Method of Application |
: |
The paint can be applied by any method e.g. brush, Air spray, Airless Spray, Dipping Flow coating, Curtain coating, Tumbling, Roller coating etc. |
Film Thickness |
: |
The wet film thickness ( WFT ) should not be less than 50 microns. |
Thinner |
: |
Use G-Tech Thinner for thinning the paint. Do not thin more than required. |

Surface Preparation
- All surfaces to be coated must be perfectly cleaned. The presence of oil grease, dust, rust, etc. on the surface will not give satisfactory result.
- Oil grease should be removed by either wipe out method or solvent/emulsion degreasing method
- Rust, scales and other deposites on the metal surface should be cleaned by abrasive blast cleaning method or by using wire brushes or abrasion tools.
- Plastics & Rubber surfaces should be cleaned by solvent wipe out method to remove oils & greases and other lubricating materials deposited on them.
- Wood should be properly seasoned with minimum moisture content. There should not be any type of coating on the surface.
- DO NOT APPLY ANY TYPE OF PRIMER OR SEALER ON THE SURFACE
- The paint should be applied directly on the surface. It can be recoated any number of times to increase the film thickness.
- The hard dry time (Air dry) of the paint is 24 hours but it can be dried hard within one hour by stoving at 120 0C.
