Typical properties may vary between production batches. Laboratory test results apply to the stated method and film thickness. Listed protection periods are manufacturer reference values, not a site-specific service-life guarantee. Actual protection depends on preparation, film thickness, exposure, handling and inspection. Theoretical coverage excludes application losses.
Surface Preparation
For best results, the metal surface should be clean, dry and free from rust, oil and mill scale. The substrate temperature should be between 10°C and 35°C when you apply the product.
Application
Shake the can well before use.
For best results, spray when the can and the air are between 10°C and 25°C.
Spray from a distance of about 30 cm onto clean, dry metal.
The product dries fast. To avoid pin-holing, apply one layer per pass, wait 2-3 minutes, then apply the next layer until the required film thickness is reached.
Removal
While still wet: Remove with Tectyl® Biocleaner, Tectyl® 150 or low-pressure steam.
After drying and curing: Remove with ethyl acetate.
Storage & Shelf Life
Store between 10°C and 35°C.
Do not allow the can to freeze.
Shake well before use.
When stored correctly, the product is best used within 36 months of the production date.
Coating Compatibility
Tectyl® Multipurpose Waterbased is overcoatable. Test on a small area first to confirm compatibility.
