Application Details
Surface
Preparation
Remove any oil, grease, dirt and any other contaminants from the surface before painting by proper
method such as solvent cleaning and fresh water washing, etc.
Application
Conditions
The surface should be completely cleaned and dried. Do not apply when relative humidity is above
85 %. The surface temperature should be at least 2.7 (5 ) above dew point to prevent
condensation. In confined areas, ventilate with clean air during application to assist solvent evaporation.
Preceding Coat
Korabor Aluminum H.B. RH248, Kovinyl sealer VH137AL, Korepox H.B. EH2560 or according to
specification.
* Tar bleeding may occur from Korepotar H.B. EH173(S), etc.
