Pre-treatment For optimum coating performance the following pre-treatment is recommended prior to the application of
Interpon D1000 Sable. The pre-treatment should be used in accordance with the supplier’s recommendations.

Application Interpon D1000 Sablé powder coatings can be applied by manual or automatic electrostatic spray equipment. To
ensure the highest consistency of metallic coatings the powder should always be applied from a fluidised hopper.
Unused or over-sprayed powder coating can be reclaimed up to a maximum of 20% using suitable equipment and
recycled through the coating system. Frequent, small additions of reclaim powder to the hopper are recommended.
For mixed colours and certain special finishes, advice must be sought from Akzo Nobel as to the suitability or
otherwise of the product for recycling.

Safety Precautions This product is intended for use only by professional applicators in industrial environments and should not be used
without reference to the relevant health and safety data sheet, which AkzoNobel has provided to its customer. If for
any reason a copy of the relevant health and safety data sheet is not immediately available the user should contact
AkzoNobel to obtain a copy before using the product. Minimum safety precautions in dealing with all powder coatings
are as follows. All dusts are respiratory irritants. Therefore, inhalation of the dust or of the vapors resulting from the
cure should be avoided. Take steps to prevent skin contact, but should contact occur, wash skin with soap and
water. In case of eye contact flush immediately with clean water and seek medical advice. Dust clouds of any finely
divided organic material can be ignited with an electric spark or open flame. Dust and powder should not be allowed
to build up on surfaces or ledges. Dust collection equipment should be used which has provision for adequate
explosion release. All equipment should be electrically earthed to prevent build up of static. Users are recommended
to follow the guidelines laid down in AS3754:1990, “Safe Application of Powder Coatings by Electrostatic Spraying”.
