For new painters; Epoxy systems requires 2 parts: A" and "B" mixed equally. We use this paint on RC nitro airplanes and RC nitro Boats. It is DURABLE and works great!!
DESCRIPTION
KLASS
KOTE is a series of two-component epoxy coatings available in a variety
of colors, primers, and clear. It is quick air-drying, chemical
hardening, and thermosetting. It can be forced dried to accelerate
cure. The dried film is very attractive, tough, durable, as well as
flexible. It provides excellent adhesion on a wide variety of substrate.
BASIC USES
KLASS
KOTE has been field tested since 1964 on many different substrates
including steel, aluminum, masonry, wood, wood composition boards and
several other substrates.
PHYSICAL DATA
Note *** (based on White #100 with Gloss Catalyst #405)
- SOLIDS BY WEIGHT 56.23%
- SOLIDS BY VOLUME 44.94%
SURFACE PREPARATION
The
surface must be clean and free from dirt, dust, grease, rust, and
scale, or anything that will otherwise impede adhesion. Whenever
possible, solvent wash with KLASS KOTE EPOXY REDUCER #500. If the
recommended reducer is not available, use a high-grade lacquer thinner.
APPLICATION
KLASS
KOTE products work ideally with conventional air-atomizing spray
equipment, as well as HVLP and airless equipment, and can also be
applied with a brush or roller. If you choose to apply Klass Kote Epoxy
with a brush - choose a high-quality, natural bristle brush. Once the
components are mixed and reduced, KLASS KOTE covers like most
conventional finish coats. Film thickness should be built up by
applying successive thin coats of paint and allowing about 20 minutes
"flash off" time between coats.
For
electrostatic application, if conductivity does not fall within the
prescribed range for a given application the conductivity can be raised
by adding a polar solvent, such as PPG DTL 16 or Klean-Strip L-27. The
polar solvent may have to be added a number of different times in a
number of different quantities before desired conductivity is reached,
so be sure to record the amount added to each test batch before
application.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Thoroughly
mix equal parts by volume of components A & B. Allow mixture to
induct/react for 30 to 40 minutes, (with occasional stirring) prior to
application. Always mix equal parts by volume of epoxy and catalyst
components together first --before reducing the mixture. The amount of
reducer needed depends upon ambient temperature and type of spray
equipment used. For finish coat, start with 6 parts paint to 1 part
KLASS KOTE EPOXY REDUCER #500. If KLASS KOTE REDUCER is unavailable,
use a high-grade lacquer thinner formulated to reduce epoxies.
Reduction up to 1-to-1-to-1 (1-part A, 1-part-B, & 1-part Reducer)
may be necessary to achieve the proper viscosity -- especially when
working with smaller guns and air brushes. Do NOT over-reduce!
CURE SCHEDULE
For
best results paint and surface should be over 70° F. Klass Kote Epoxy
can be force dried after the solvent has been flashed off. Suggest
120°F for 15 minutes to speed cure time.
At 70°F (air & substrate temperatures):
- TACK FREE TIME: 20-30 MINUTES
- PRINT FREE TIME: 4 HOURS
- PACKAGING TIME: 24 HOURS
- RECOAT WINDOW: 1 – 24 HOURS (DEPENDING ON SHOP CONDITIONS)
- SWARD HARDNESS: 4 DAYS - 1 WEEK
COVERAGE
Using
conventional air atomizing spray equipment on a non-porous substrate, 1
quart of reduced KLASS KOTE will cover approximately 75-100 square
feet. On more porous substrates, 1 quart will cover approximately 60
square feet.
Note this paint must go UPS ground. So NO PO Boxes, Cont. USA ONLY.
