Product specifications are constantly changing, to ensure the most accurate information regarding specifications.

P60-A primer is used particularly on aluminium alloys that have had the following treatments:
Alodine 1200: Cr6 conversion
CAA: Chromic Acid Anodising
SAA: Sulphuric Acid Anodising
TSA: Tartaric Sulphuric Anodising
BAA: Boric Acid Anodising

Observe the recoating time between the surface treatment and painting. This may vary depending on the treatment and industrial instructions. Contact us for information on uses on other metallic structures, surface treatments or paints. P60-A primer can also be used on sealants. All recommendations mentioned above are given for information.

Store the product dry and at a temperature between 5 and 35ºC / 41 and 95ºF per AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings specification. Store in the original unopened containers. Storage temperature and shelf life may vary per OEM specification requirements. Refer to the container label for specific storage life information.

12 months in Touch-Up Kits, stored between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F) in full and sealed original packaging.

P60-A Base : Volume - 2 parts, Weight - 100 parts
P60-A Hardener : Volume - 1 part, Weight - 38 parts
Demineralized Water : Volume - 2 to 4 parts, Weight - 65 to 130 parts

The water used to dilute the paint should be demineralized with a conductivity < 25 µSiemens.
Mixing procedure
Ideally, the unmixed products should be stored between 18°C and 25°C (64°F and 77°F) for 24 hours before use.

• The P60-A base should be stirred for 10 minutes in a pneumatic or oscillating mixer before use.
• Mix the base and hardener until the mixture is homogenous before adding demineralized water in two stages.
• The mixture must be made at a temperature between 15°C and 35°C (59°F and 95 °F).
• Sieve the paint through a 120-150 pm (4.7-5.9 mils) filter.
• Never add additional water once the paint mixture has been made.

The dilution is determined depending on the equipment that will be used for application
The list below is a guide to the optimum viscosity for various types of equipment.
Air gun - 18+/-3sCA4
Electrostatic spray gun - 18+/-3 sCA4
Pressurized pot - 21 +1-3 sCA4
Automatic Pump - 21 +1-3 sCA4
Mixing machine - 23+/-3 sCA4
Viscosities mentioned above correspond to the recommended range of viscosity to ensure compliant application.
The range of dilution must be used to adjust viscosity to reach the recommended one.

Viscosity values are given ± 3sec for CA4 Cup and ± 4sec for the others.

Water reducible paints show a thixotropic behaviour. This implies that efflux time can vary according to different parameters such as: type of mixing, mixing quantity, dilution, temperature, time between mixing and viscosity measurement.

ISO 4 cup is the reference cup. The others are given for information.
Viscosity measurements are provided as guidelines only and are not to be used as quality control parameters. Certified information is provided by certification documentation available on request.

Pot life depends on the dilution ratio. The paint viscosity may vary depending on the temperature and increases over the pot life. Depending on the flow cup used and the application temperature, the dilution may vary between 2 V and 4 V of demineralized water.

P60-A Base : Volume - 2 parts, Weight - 100 parts
P60-A Hardener : Volume - 1 parts, Weight - 38 parts
Demineralized Water : Volume - 0 or 1 to 1.5 parts, Weight - 0 or 35 to 50 parts

Remove the safety ring and press down on the cap to release the P60-A hardener. Shake the container for approximately 1 minute. Remove the cap to be able to apply the P60-A primer with a suitable brush. If the material is not homogeneous after 1 min. shaking, please use a stick for further mixing (around 1 Min.) until the material is homogeneous.

Do not hermetically close TUK after mixing base and hardener.

2 hours not diluted

Apply several coats to achieve 15 to 25 µm (0.6 to 1 mils) dry thickness.
The number of coats depends on the size and the shape of the part to which it is being applied.
The recommended dynamic air pressure is 1.5 bar to 4 bar (22 to 58 psi).

Primer P60-A may be applied in conditions outside the limits shown above. However, it is recommended to be careful to ensure a satisfactory result. Please contact your local AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings representative to determine the appropriate application techniques when environmental conditions are outside of the recommended range.

Gravity compressed air gun - Nozzle 0.8 to 1.8 mm
Electrostatic spray gun - Nozzle 0.8 to 1.4 mm

Defects and Corrections:
In the event of a defect, contact your Quality Department.
In case of too low thickness:
Apply a thin coat of P60-Ato achieve the required thickness. If the above recommended recoating time is exceeded, reactivate with an abrasive pad.

For too thick coats:
Contact your Quality Department.

If there are micro-bubbles, runs, fish-eyes or numerous inclusions:
Reactivate the surface using a abrasive paper (grade 220 to 320), remove the dust then clean the surface using an approved cleaning product. Apply a thin coat of P60-A to achieve the required thickness.

If there are significant defects:
Remove the P60-A primer with an approved chemical paint stripper or remove using a plastic medium (in this case, the surface treatment has to be redone).

Clean the equipment with a suitable cleaning solvent such as Mapaero D760.

Wet on Wet application: P60-A / F70-A system can be used wet on wet. At room temperature, leave P60-A primer flash off for 15 minutes in the spray booth and then recover with F70-A topcoat.

MEK resistance: After 23 hours at room temperature or 1 hour at 60°C, P60-A primer can be cleaned with MEK solvent.

Before accelerated drying = 70°C, leave to flash off for at least 15 minutes at room temperature. Recoating P60-A primer with another topcoat (Epoxy or Polyurethane) is possible. For process optimization, please contact us. Drying P60-A primer with Infra Red is possible. For process optimization, please contact us. Drying times have been determined using test pieces of a thickness < 2 mm and for 15 µm (0.6 mils) of dry film.
