Product information mentioned in the technical datasheet is given for information purposes and can differ from requirements of specifications above. In that case, customer requirements are valid for your application.

P65-HG primer can be applied directly on composite pieces, suitably degreased and sanded with a Scotch Brite paper.
It can be applied on M50 filler/putty, previously sanded according to the product technical data sheet.
All recommendations mentioned above are given for information.

Gloss levels have been determined using glossmeter with an angle of incidence of 60º.
The theorical consumption value doesn’t take into account the transfer efficiency for spray application

Mixing ratio by weight - Base 100
Mixing ratio by volume - Base 2 V

Mixing ratio by weight - Water 50 to 60
Mixing ratio by volume - Water 1.3 V to 1.6

Mixing Procedure
Ideally, the unmixed products should be stored between 18ºC and 25ºC (64ºF and 77ºF) for 24 hours before use.
The P65-HG should be mixed for 10 minutes in a pneumatic or oscillating mixer before use.
Mix the base and the hardener until the mixture is homogeneous before adding demineralized water. The mixture must be made at a temperature between 15ºC (59ºF) and 35ºC (95ºF).
Sieve the paint through a 120-150 µm (4.7-5.9 mils) filter.
Never add additional water once the paint mixture has been made.

Induction Time - None

Pot Life - 3 hours for a 1.4 V dilution

Note
Pot life depends on the dilution ratio.

The paint viscosity may vary depending on the temperature and increase over the pot life.

For an application with a two-component mixing machine, it is possible to mix first 2 volumes of base P65-HG with 1 volume of demineralized water.

The following mix has to be done:
Pre-mix base + 3V of water (This pre-mix can be stored 1 month between 5 ºC et 35 ºC or 41ºF and 95ºF). Hardener : 1V.
Final performances of the product remain unchanged compared to the 3-components mixture.

Viscosities mentioned above are corresponding 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 Water based paints show a thixotropic behavior. This implies that efflux time can vary according 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 purpose.

Clean the equipment with a suitable cleaning solvent such as Mapaero D760. Mapaero D770-B aqueous cleaning solvent can also be used.

Apply 1 crossed coat to achieve a 15 µm to 25 µm (0.6 to 1 mil) dry thickness. Each coat has to be wet and of the same thickness.
The number of coats depends on the size and the shape of the part to be painted.
The recommended dynamic air pressure is 2 bar to 4 bar (29 to 58 psi).

Drying times have been determined using test pieces of 1 mm thickness, with a 20 µm (0.8 mils) dry film.
Before accelerated drying 70ºC (158ºF), let it flash off for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
Parts whose drying was forced must cool down to below 35 ºC (95ºF) before proceeding to the next step. To recoat P65-HG primer with another product/primer, contact us.
For the P65-HG primer infrared drying, contact us.
Drying time and temperature (evaporation and curing) are given for information only and may vary depending on humidity, the shape and the material of the workpiece and the thickness of the paint.

In the event of a defect, contact your Quality Department.

For a dry thickness < 15µm (0.6 mils): Apply a thin layer to obtain the right thickness. If the recoating time is exceeded, reactivate with a Scotch-Brite type® A.

If there are micro-bubbles, running, rejects or numerous inclusions: Reactivate slightly, using an abrasive paper grade P240 or P320.
Remove dust using a suitable cloth and apply a thin coat of primer, as described above.

The base P65-HG is available in 4 L and 200 L.
The hardener H88 is available in 2 L and 200 L.
