Particular instructions There is the additional option of using standard hardener DR 4070 at a mixing ratio (by volume) of 2 : 1 to harden the product. Albeit this hardener combination no longer meets the Decopaint Directive (ChemVOCFarbV). “A risk assessment has been conducted according to Directive 2014/90/EU, Annex II, Section 3. The hardened and dried coating poses no physical or health risk, nor any risk to the environment.” This product must only be combined with other approved and technically suitable products when used as a flame retardant coating material for seagoing vessels according to the latest version of SOLAS 2/3 Reg. II-2/5, II-2/6 and II-36, IMO Resolution MSC.63(1994)-(7 HSC-Code) 97 and IMO Resolution MSC.73(2000)-(7 HSC-Code) 100. The maximum application amount in wet film when using this product as a flame retardant coating material for seagoing vessels is 2 g/m² hardened at a mixing ratio of 2 : 1 with Hardener DR 4070.
General instructions on workmanship PU lacquers should not be applied and dried at material and room-temperatures below 18 °C and 40 % RH. Ideal values are: 20 - 25 °C, 50 - 65 % RH. Deviations will result in drying or hardening errors. In order to avoid adhesion problems, please sand the PU lacquered surfaces before applying fresh lacquer and apply lacquer to the sanded surfaces as soon as possible. Old lacquer and hardener mixtures affect the surface quality (adhesion/resistance). Freshly bleached substrates must undergo intermediate drying for at least 48 h at 20 °C before coating with suitable PU lacquers. If stored correctly (at least 20 °C room temperature), the final hardness of the coating is achieved after a week.
Please apply a test coat under real conditions!
