Surface Preparation

Wood must be sanded with a 120 or 150 grit paper and free of dust and all contaminants. Before the application of the topcoat, the V-Primer must be sanded with a 280/320 grit paper. This primer must not be applied over metal, old oil finish or nitrocellulose lacquer.

General Information

Agitate material before use. Keep under mixing to ensure product consistency. Apply one or two coats. A good sanding between coats with a #280/320 grit paper is necessary to obtain a good adhesion. This product could be catalyzed to enhance sanding properties but system must be evaluated and approved by AkzoNobel before going in production. For any information, contact your sales representative. If catalyzed, topcoat must be applied within 8 hours of sanding. Never apply more than 5 mils wet in one coat. Dry film thickness of V-Primer should not exceed 2 mils dry. Total dry film thickness of system should not exceed 5 mils dry.

To obtain complete cure, the primer must be applied at a temperature above 18ºC and relative humidity below 65%. When drying, this product is not to be exposed to ammonia vapors. Finished surface must not be cleaned with ammonia containing products.

Topcoats to use over 546-7257: 131-50XX, 131-51XX, 131-82XX, 117-30XX, 117-32XX, 421-67XX, 431-30XX, 484-6XXX, 421-72XX.

THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURES. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS GIVEN IN THIS DATA SHEET WILL LIKELY RESULT IN UNSATISFACTORY FILM APPEARANCE OR FILM FAILURE. THE COMPLETE COATING SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR REQUIRED PROPERTIES PRIOR TO THE START-UP OF PRODUCTION.

---

Dry times are greatly affected by film build, porosity of substrate, air movement as well as heat and humidity. Temperatures are based on actual board temperature. This may vary depending on length of time for boards to reach these temperatures. Minimum curing temperatures of 64°F/18°C must be maintained throughout the curing cycle to achieve the film integrity as stated in product features.
