Ambient Temperature -40˚C to 50˚C (-40˚F to 122˚F)

10˚C (50˚F) to 100˚C (212˚F)

Preheating of the substrate is required if the surface to be coated is below 10˚C (50˚F). The
Substrate Temperature
substrate temperature must be a minimum of 3˚C (5˚F) above the dew point temperature before
proceeding with the coating operation.

Recommended Spray Preheat Temperature in Drum/Pail:

Base: 70˚C (158˚F) to 80˚C (176˚F)
Hardener: 20˚C (68˚F) to 30˚C (86˚F) (Ambient-typically not heated)
Material Temperature
Preheating of the base material is required to balance the viscosity of base and hardener. In cases
of extreme weather conditions the recommended temperatures may change, please consult your
SPC representative.
