General Information

Because it is a weak acid, 999-017 should not have prolonged contact with ferrous metals, all containers and mixing devices should be plastic lined or high-grade stainless steel. Acid catalyst should be stored in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. If the catalyst comes in contact with skin, clean with soap and water immediately. If it comes in contact with the eyes, flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes and call a doctor. The area must be mechanically ventilated when this product is used in large quantities.

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.
