Application methods
Derogrund EPE EG Thix.
Airless spraying
- Flow pressure 180 bar
- Nozzle size 0,017 - 0,019 inch (0,43 - 0,48 mm)
- Spraying angle according to the geometry and size of the object to be laquered
Compressed air spraying
- Spraying pressure 5 - 6 bar
- Nozzle size 1,8 - 2,3 mm
- Adjust to spraying viscosity (appr. 30 s DIN 4 mm) adding appr. 5 % Derozink-Verdünnung (two component products: after mixing)
Electrostatic application
- Application is not possible
Dipping
- Can not be applied as delivered
Other methods
- Roller and brush application is possible in the quality as delivered
Thinner
- Max. 5% Derozink-Verdünnung
Cleaning
- Rinse immediately with Derozink-Verdünnung
- Residues are dissolvable with Derozink-Verdünnung
Preparation of support
- Shot blasting to a purity according to SA 2½
- If necessary clean with high pressure-cleaner and turbo-cleaner-solution
- Sweeping for zinced supports
- Mill scale, welding residues, dust, soluble residues from chemical pretreatments and zinc reaction products which might reduce adhesion have to be carefully and thoroughly removed
General remarks
- During coating and drying the humidity should be min. 10 % / max. 85 %
- During coating and drying the environmental temperature should be min. 5°C / max. 30°C
- Object temperature at least 3° C above dew point.
Example for a system
- Primer coat: Derogrund EPE EG Thix.
- Finish coat: Derilux 588
