Application data
Spray application
Airless Spray Equipment
Pump ratio (minimum) : 32:1
Pressure at nozzle (minimum) : 150 bar/2100 psi
Nozzle tip (inch/1000) : 13-19
Nozzle output (litres/minute) : 0.7-1.5
Filters (mesh) : 70-100
Several factors influence, and need to be observed to maintain the recommended pressure at the nozzle. Among
factors causing pressure drop are:
- extended hoses or hose bundles
- extended hose whip-end line
- small internal diameter hoses
- high paint viscosity
- large spray nozzle size
- inadequate air capacity from compressor
- incorrect or clogged filters
Air Spray Equipment
Pressure at nozzle (minimum) : HVLP: 2.1 bar/30 psi / Pressure pot: 2.1 bar/30 psi
Nozzle tip: HVLP: 11-19 (inch/1000) / Pressure pot: 1.1-1.9 (mm)
Other application tools
Brush application
Suitable for application with brush. Use a high quality, clean natural or synthetic bristle brush with proper shape
and size. When used as primer coat, a stiff brush is recommended to secure proper substrate wetting. When
used as a finish coat a more long haired brush is recommended to improve flow and appearance. To achieve
specified dry film thickness it may be necessary to apply multiple coats.
Roller application
Suitable for application with roller. Use a properly sized, high quality, clean roller with natural or synthetic cover.
Pre-wash new rollers in proper thinner to remove loose fibres. Roller is not recommended for application of
primer coat. Addition of small volumes (5-10 %) of thinner will improve appearance when used as finish coat.
To achieve specified dry film thickness it may be necessary to apply multiple coats.
Film thickness per coat
Typical recommended specification range
Dry film thickness 60 - 100 μm
Wet film thickness 80 - 130 μm
Theoretical spreading rate 12 - 7.2 m²/l
Bright colours may need film thickness in the high end of the recommended specification range to achieve
opacity.
This product can be applied up to 50 % higher than maximum specified film thickness without loss of technical
properties.
