C108 HS 2:1

Use

For car body repair that require a durable finish.

Mixing proportion per volume

Clearcoat: 2
Hardener: 1
Thinner for acrylic systems: 0-5%

Spraying viscosity

15÷17 seconds at 20ºC

Pot life for the mixture

about 2 hours and 45 minutes at 20ºC

Number of layers

Number of layers: 2 full layers; about 60 µm of dry coating.
Gun parameters
RP Nozzle: 1,3÷1,4mm; Pressure: 2,0÷2,2 bar.
HVLP Nozzle: 1.3÷1,4mm; Inlet pressure: 2,0 bar.

Caution: Follow the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer.

Flash off time

Between layers: about 10 min
Before baking: about 10-15 minutes

Drying time for standard hardener

Dust dry: about 60 min./20°C
Baking at 60°C: (panel temp) 30 minutes
Ready for polishing: after drying overnight.

Temperatures below 20°C significantly increase the drying time.

IR Drying

10÷15 minutes under short wave depending on the total thickness and type of radiator.
Do not exceed maximum temperature of 60°C.
Use according to the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer.
Wait about 10 minutes before starting IR drying.

Performance

1 liter of the mixture is enough to paint 8,5÷9 m2 of surface with a layer thickness of 60 μm.

Shading

Make sure you have covered all the surface with the clear coat. You should only shade the surface that has been covered and treated. Use InterTroton FADE OUT THINNER to clean any dust or dirt from the surface and to level out the optical gloss differences between the older and new applied coating.

Polishing and eliminating defects

Usually polishing is unnecessary, as the C38 VHS Clear Coat 2:1 gives the surface a perfect finish immediately after application. However, if some dirt inclusions appear, we recommend removing them and then polishing the surface with an abrasive compound.

General notes

• Do not exceed recommended doses of the hardener!
• The best repair results can be achieved by painting at room temperature. The temperature in the body shop and the temperature of the product should be similar. When working with 2K products, it is recommended to use personal protection equipment. Protect the eyes and airways.
• The rooms should be well ventilated.
• Clean the guns and equipment immediately after use.

Caution: To maintain safety, always follow the instructions given in the MSDS for the products.
