Mix / application & Use
This coating is designed for dip application over iron or zinc phosphate pretreatment systems. Material should be well mixed and maintained at an in-use viscosity of 22–26 seconds (Zahn #2), adjustable to suit specific line conditions and customer preferences. Recommended paint temperature during application is 70–75°F. Parts should enter the dip tank at a temperature between 65–90°F, depending on the process. Immerse parts for 30–100 seconds to ensure complete coverage. The process targets a dry film thickness of 0.8–2.0 mils, achieved through proper viscosity control and dwell time. Final cure is achieved by baking to a metal temperature of 150–200°F for 28–40 minutes, depending on part mass and oven efficiency. Proper flash and cure are critical to achieving full coating performance and appearance.
