SURFACE PREPARATION
The surface to be over coated should be clean dry and free from grease and oil.
Roughening of the surface to be coated is necessary to ensure interring coat
adhesion.
To ensure good adhesion with aged all previous paint : sweep blast cleaned to find
sufficiently roughened.

Date of issue : January 2015 3500 - 00
CONDITION OF APPLICATION
o o
Temperature: minimum 5 C Maximum 50 C
Relative humidity: maximum 85%
o
Substrate temperature should be at least 3 C above dew point.
SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
Preceding coat : SIMACOVER EP PRIMER or SIMACOVER EP COATING
INSTRUCTION FOR USE
Mixing ratio by volume; Base: Hardener = 7 : 1
The temperature of the mixture of base and hardener should be above 15°C;
otherwise extra solvent may be required to obtain application viscosity.
Thinner could be added after mixing the components
Too much solvent result in lower sag resistance and slower cure
Very good mechanical mixing of base and hardener is essential.
