Surface Preparation

Substrate must be sanded using 120, 150 or 180 grit stearated paper prior to staining or coating. The surface being prepared must be clean and dry before the coating is applied. Sealers, if used, should be sanded prior to being coated with 280/320 grit stearated paper. Appropriate sealers are Aqualux Sealer 423-2900, or self seal. Aqualux 275 cannot be used on metal, old oil or cellulose lacquers. AkzoNobel recommends using 825-39XX stains.

General Information

Agitate material before use. Aqualux 275 must be agitated thoroughly at all times to ensure product consistency and consistent gloss. Avoid high speed agitation to minimize entrapment of air.

Apply at 2-4 mils wet on sanded substrate. Further coats may be applied after complete drying followed by sanding with 280/320 grit stearated paper.

Maximum film build of Aqualux 275 should not exceed 4 mils dry.  Maximum film build of total coating system must not exceed 4 mils dry.  Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided.

Aqualux 275 must not be used and dried at temperatures below 64°F or relative humidity above 65%. 

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.
