Reduce 1:1 with Water for use as a Topcoat. METHOD: Apply by conventional and HVLP Spray. COATING PROPERTIES WATER SOAK: No evidence of blistering, whitening of the coating surface or loss of adhesion after 24 hours emersion at 104 degrees F., and 5 minutes recovery. CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: No evidence of blistering, cracking, whitening of the coating surface or loss of adhesion after 24 hours emersion in a various cosmetics, at ambient temperature. HUMIDITY: No evidence of cracking of the coating surface, shrinkage or whitening of the coating surface after 24 hours at 104 degrees F., and 98% relative humidity. CURE CYCLE For Basecoat applications, flash off 15 minutes, followed by a 90 minute cure at a minimum part temperature of 185 degrees F., to as much as 295 degrees F., depending on substrate and film thickness at application. For use as a Topcoat, flash of 15 minutes, followed by a 90 minute cure at a minimum part temperature of 185 degrees F. STORAGE Store in tightly sealed containers, at ambient temperatures. Protect from moisture, evaporation and foreign materials. Process ability of this product can be adversely affected by evaporation and contamination. SHELF LIFE 3 months, provided materials are kept in sealed original containers under specified conditions. Storage beyond this period can produce higher viscosities. AVAILABILITY VBW-4573-A is available in 5 and 55 gallon epoxy phenolic lined steel containers. Please contact Pearl Paints for ordering information.
