- Product Codes:
220-222 Plastiprimer Neutral
- Surface Preparation:
Substrate must be sanded with #120, 150 grit paper, free of dust and other contaminants. Before the application of the topcoat, the Plastiprimer must be sanded with a #280/320 grit paper. The primer must be recovered within 8 hours after sanding. This primer must not be applied over metal, old finish or nitrocellulose lacquer.
- General Information:
Mix well before and during the addition of catalyst and diluents. To assure consistency, always keep the product under agitation. The Plastiprimer can be applied in one or two coats. A good sanding between coats with paper # 240/320 is needed to get a good adhesion. The Plastiprimer must be covered within 8 hours after the sanding. When sanding, it is important not to wear through the surface and to pay particular attention to sharp edges of the profile. This can create a non-uniform thickness of the application. Once catalyzed, avoid all contact with metallic surface. The dry film thickness of the Plastiprimer must not exceed 3 mils. The total dry film thickness of the system should not exceed 6 mils.
To obtain a complete cure, the system should be applied at an ambient temperature above 18°C and a relative humidity below 65%. During curing, this product should not be exposed to ammonia vapors. The finished surface cannot be cleaned with an ammonia-based product. Always use containers and equipment in plastic or stainless steel to eliminate any source of discoloration due to oxidation.
The Plastiprimer is used under following topcoats: 117-32XX, 440-XXX
