Introduction -
KEY PROPERTIES
a. Over-coating or stipple finish is not required to get achieve texture/structure finish.
b. Excellent mar resistance
c. Hardness, scratch hardness is equivalent to powder coating.
d. Excellent abrasion resistance.
e. Good water & weather resistance.
f. Unaffected by spillage of Solvents, Oils, & detergents.
g. Hi-Build film formation ( Higher DFT )

Application:
Before application of Texture/Structure finish coat do all necessary pretreatment on the Job. For M. S. surface, remove grease, oil & loose scale & other contamination by using degreasing Agent. Blast cleans the surface before primer coat recommended, do phosphating & passivation. See that primer coat is fully cured before application of structure coat. Do not add any thinner in paint, Apply Tuff Coat Structure finish at 40-60 psi on primer coat with minimum DFT 50 icrons.1st coat should be horizontal, then give 5-10 flash off, another coat should be vertical (Wet on wet two coats)
While application see that the primer coat will be covered properly. Give 10-15 air flash off & keep the object into oven at 130-140° C for 30 while application structure/
texture pattern automatically appears on the object. After Stoving film shows excellent tough & textured finish. After use of paint, close the container immediately to avoid solvent losses & thickening of paint. Thickening of paint may disturb the pattern of paint film. Do not apply the paint in very high humid condition, during raining or mist & fog or at very low temperature.
