flanges, etc., application of a stripe coat will assure freedom from skips or holidays. Airless Spray: Add maximum
upto 10% Thinner 844 . Use any standard equipment having pump ratio 45:1. Tip size 0.53-0.68 mm. Tip pressure
110-160 kg/cm2

2. Do not apply when temperature falls below 10ºC or likely to fall below 10 oC during cure time or rises above 50ºC or
when relative humidity rises above 85% . Surface temperature should be 3 oC more than the dew point. Do not apply
during rain, fog or mist.
3. Brushes and spray equipment should be cleaned with Thinner 844, otherwise equipment is likely to be damaged.
4. Mix quantities which can be used off within the utilisation period.
