Surface Preparation

Substrate must be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper prior to staining or coating. Sealers should be sanded with 240, 280 and 320 grit stearated paper prior to being coated. Stain systems used under acid catalyzed systems should be acid stable. AkzoNobel recommends 825-90XX, 825-91XX Promatch® C-Mix Stains, or 890-85XX Promatch Dye Stains. Danseal cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers.

General Information

Agitate material thoroughly before use. Always mix Danseal while adding catalyst in the recommended mixing ratios. Apply and allow to dry for one hour. Scuff sand with 220 to 280 grit stearated paper before topcoating to ensure good adhesion and a smooth finish. The second and subsequent coats must be applied the same day as the previous coat is sanded.

Danseal 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 finished surface. This may accelerate discoloration.

Maximum film build of Danseal should not exceed 2 mils dry. Maximum film build of total coating system must not exceed 4 mils dry.

Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided.

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.
