Drying and Curing Time: Application Guide Penguard Topcoat

The document provides application guidelines for Penguard Topcoat, including factors that influence coating material loss during application and drying/curing times at different temperatures. Drying times range from 30 minutes to 14 days depending on temperature and type of dry. Maximum overcoating intervals are also specified, requiring surface preparation after 2-3 months of exposure before additional coats can be applied.

Application Guide

Penguard Topcoat

The consumption of paint should be controlled carefully, with thorough planning and a practical approach to
reducing loss. Application of liquid coatings will result in some material loss. Understanding the ways that
coating can be lost during the application process, and making appropriate changes, can help reducing material
loss.
Some of the factors that can influence the loss of coating material are:
- type of spray gun/unit used
- air pressure used for airless pump or for atomization
- orifice size of the spray tip or nozzle
- fan width of the spray tip or nozzle
- the amount of thinner added
- the distance between spray gun and substrate
- the profile or surface roughness of the substrate. Higher profiles will lead to a higher "dead volume"
- the shape of the substrate target
- environmental conditions such as wind and air temperature

Drying and Curing time


Substrate temperature 10 °C 23 °C 40 °C

Surface (touch) dry 2.5 h 1.5 h 30 min


Walk-on-dry 14 h 6.5 h 3h
Dry to over coat, minimum 14 h 7h 3h
Dried/cured for service 14 d 7d 3d

Drying and curing times are determined under controlled temperatures and relative humidity below 85 %, and
at average of the DFT range for the product.

Surface (touch) dry: The state of drying when slight pressure with a finger does not leave an imprint or reveal
tackiness.

Walk-on-dry: Minimum time before the coating can tolerate normal foot traffic without permanent marks,
imprints or other physical damage.

Dry to over coat, minimum: The recommended shortest time before the next coat can be applied.

Dried/cured for service: Minimum time before the coating can be permanently exposed to the intended
environment/medium.

Maximum over coating intervals


Maximum time before thorough surface preparation is required. The surface must be clean and dry and suitable
for over coating. Inspect the surface for chalking and other contamination and if present, remove with an
alkaline detergent. Agitate the surface to activate the cleaner and before it dries, wash the treated area by low-
pressure water cleaning using fresh water.

If maximum over coating interval is exceeded the surface should in addition be carefully roughened to ensure
good inter coat adhesion.

The Application Guide (AG) must be read in conjunction with the relevant specification, Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety
Data Sheet (SDS) for all the products used as part of the coating system.
