Directions for Use
Surface Preparation
Primer should be sanded using 240 and 320 grit stearated paper. Suitable primer is CHEMLIFE 24 PLUS White Primer 522-2500. The primer should be topcoated within eight hours of sanding. Care should be taken during sanding to avoid sanding through the primer.
General Information
Catalyze and reduce the material as recommended. CHEMLIFE 24 PLUS White Topcoat is applied in one or two coats and can be used on all kinds of wood meant for interior use.
A thorough sanding between the coats is essential to the adhesion. The second and subsequent coats must be applied the same day as the previous coat is sanded. CHEMLIFE 24 PLUS White Topcoat cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers.
Total recommended film build of CHEMLIFE 24 PLUS White Primer 522-2500 and CHEMLIFE 24 PLUS White Topcoat 117-25XX is not to exceed 6 mils dry. Over the primer, the topcoat should not exceed 4 mils dry.
To ensure proper sheen, the catalyzed material should be agitated at all times. Chemlife 24 Plus White must be thoroughly stirred while adding catalyst and thinner in the recommended mixing ratio. Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided once the Chemlife 24 Plus White has been catalyzed.
CHEMLIFE 24 PLUS White Topcoat must not be polluted with oil, varnish or the like and must not be sanded with steel wool between coats. CHEMLIFE 24 PLUS White Topcoat must not be used and dried at temperatures below 65°F (18°C) 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.
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.
