Drying and curing times are determined under controlled temperatures and relative humidity below 85 %,
and at average of the DFT range for the product and should be considered as guidelines only. The actual
drying time/times may be shorter or longer, depending on film thickness, temperature, ventilation, humidity,
preceding paint system etc.
*The surface should be dry and free from contaminants prior to over coating. The best intercoat adhesion is
achieved when the subsequent coat is applied before the preceding coat is fully cured. When recoating with
products, maximum recoat interval is limited. After prolonged exposure it may be necessary to roughen the
surface to ensure intercoat adhesion. When in doubt, consult your nearest National paints representative.
Surface preparation
Coated surface
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Surfaces should be treated in accordance with
ISO 8504:2000. Ensure compatibility of the coated substrates with the selected paint system. If the remaining
part of the existing coating system needs to be sweep-blasted, fine abrasive shall be used to avoid damage to
the coating system. When recoating aged coated substrates, damaged areas must be removed back to a firm
edge. Light abrade or sweep-blast the surface in order to provide a physical key for adhesion.

Minor repair / Touch-up
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Surfaces should be treated in accordance with
ISO 8504:2000. Any corroded areas should be prepared by power-tool cleaning or manual cleaning.
Power-tool cleaning to min. St 2, preferably St 3 (ISO 8501-1:2007). Care shall be taken to ensure that power-
tool cleaning does not polish the steel surface. If the surface being prepared lies adjacent to a coated surface,
the power tool cleaning shall overlap the coated surface by at least 25 mm and the coated surface shall be
feathered.
Typical coating system
