Surface Preparation
Coated substrates — Existing systems should be dry and free from loose paint, salt, grease and other contaminants prior to overcoating. High pressure wash with fresh water and allow thorough drying. Corroded and/or damaged areas should be repaired first with an appropriate primer system such as Navimare Alkyd Primer 7122.
Usage Instructions
Substrate should be dry and free from contaminations. Relative humidity should be less than 90% RH. Thin if necessary with the specified thinner. Mix well preferably by means of a mechanical stirrer. When applied by brush or roller, apply in smooth and gentle strokes. Apply crosswise to ensure even distribution. When applied by airless or air spray observe spraying recommendations. Avoid excessive application as it will result in sagging and a poor appearance. Apply two coats. Wear protective clothing, goggles and gloves. Refrain from smoking at all times.

| 30°C | 8 hours | 1 day | Indefinite |
(1) The surface should be dry and free from salts and other contaminants prior to overcoating. The best intercoat adhesion is achieved when the subsequent coat is applied before the preceding coat is fully cured. After prolonged exposure times it may be necessary to roughen the surface in order to ensure intercoat adhesion. When in doubt, consult your nearest Navimare office.
