suitable equipment from other manufacturers may be
used. Adjustments of pressure and change of tip size
may be needed to achieve the proper spray
characteristics.

AIRLESS SPRAY - Standard airless spray equipment,

with a 0.38 (0.015 inch) orifice or larger.

CONVENTIONAL SPRAY - Industrial equipment, having

separate air and fluid pressure regulators, mechanical
pot agitator and a moisture and oil trap in the main air
supply line are recommended.

BRUSH/ROLLER - Apply evenly, using a clean well-

loaded brush or roller. Ensure the coating is not brushed
or rolled-out too far. Application by brush or roller will
provide approx. 50 microns dft. in a single coat
application.

MIXER - Use power mixer powered by an air motor or

an explosion proof electric motor.

(5 mil). Maximum dft per coat should not exceed 250 µm
(10 mil) per coat.
6. The application of a wet film thickness of 150 µm (6 mil) will
normally provide 125 µm ( 5 mil) of dry film.
7. Check thickness of dry coating with a nondestructive dry
film thickness gauge such as Mikrotest or Elcometer. If less
than specified thickness, apply additional material as
needed.
8. Small damaged or bare areas and random pinholes or
holidays can be touched up by brush.
9. Clean all equipment with recommended cleaner
immediately after use or at least at the end of each working
day or shift. When left in spray equipment, Permpox OA
5500 will cure and cause clogging.

Safety Instructions

1. Ventilate work area.

2. Check to ensure that fire or explosion risks are
