  • Surface Preparation:

    Substrate should be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper prior to coating. Primers should be sanded with 280/320 grit stearated paper prior to being coated.

  • General Information:

    Chembase White may be applied in two or more coats, depending on the desired finish. The dry film build should not exceed 2 – 3 mils. The total dry film build of the system should not exceed 4 mils. 

    Chembase White should be thoroughly stirred, and mixed with an appropriate amount of reducer. 

    Chembase White must not be polluted with oil, varnish or the like and must not be sanded with steel wool between coats.

    Chembase White 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.
