Application Specifications
Application Methods
This is a high build and high solids coating with multiple application options:
Plural Airless Spray: Remove all filters from spray system, use Graco XP-70 or equivalent heated plural spray unit with heated hose bundle and in-line static mixer. 0.027-0.031 spray tip. Heat A component to between 70 and 85°F, do not heat part B above 75°F. Spray at minimum line pressure to achieve fan.
Single Leg Airless Spray: Remove all filters from spray system, use pump capable of 2,000 psi line pressure; 0.027-0.031 spray tip. Do not heat material above 85°F
Brush and Roll: Recommended for small areas only. Use K-1070 or K-1034 at up to 10% by volume for stripe coating
