Surface Preparation

Substrate must be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper prior to coating. ProVinyl Vinyl Primer should be sanded with 280/320 grit stearated paper prior to being coated and the next coat must be applied within eight hours of sanding. ProVinyl Vinyl Primer cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers.

General Information

Agitate material before use. Always mix ProVinyl Vinyl Primer while adding reducers in the recommended levels. ProVinyl Vinyl Primer must be agitated thoroughly at all times to ensure product consistency.Apply at 3 – 5 mils wet sanded substrate. Further coats may be applied after complete drying followed by sanding with 280/320 grit stearated paper.

Provinyl  Vinyl Primer uncatalyzed can be topcoated with only pre-catalyzed topcoats. Provinyl  Vinyl primer catalyzed can be topcoated with Pre-Catalyzed or Conversion Varnish topcoats.

Maximum film build of ProVinyl Vinyl Primer should not exceed 2 mils dry. Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided. ProVinyl Vinyl Primer must not be polluted with oil, varnish or the like and must not be sanded with steel wool between coats. ProVinyl Vinyl Primer must not be used and dried at temperatures below 64°F or relative humidity above 65%. During the curing process, the coating must not be exposed to ammonia vapors. Ammonia cleaners should not be used for cleaning the finish surfaces. This may accelerate discoloration.

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.
