Technical data sheet
Substrate
Suitable substrates:
Fully cured, solvent-resistant, well-preserved and lightly sanded old paint or original paint
Surfaces treated with primer or surfacer
Suitable priming materials:
Depends on the object and the substrate, in accordance with recommendations for paintwork structure
   
Substrate pre-treatment:
–  Thoroughly clean with silicone remover -LVM 020 000 A5- or slow-drying silicone remover -LVM 020 100 A5-.

Application
Mixing ratio:
–  3:1 by volume with:
2-pack VHS hardener, fast-drying -LHA 009 050 A2- (for small areas and spot repair)
2-pack VHS hardener -LHA 009 051 A2-/-LVM 009 051 A5- (for small to medium-size areas at moderate temperatures)
2-pack VHS hardener, slow-drying -LHA 009 052 A2-/-LHA 009 052 A3- (for larger areas at moderate temperatures)
2-pack VHS hardener, extra slow-drying -LHA 009 053 A2- (for large areas at high temperatures)
See technical data sheet for 2-pack VHS hardener → Chapter
  Note
The mixture ratio for black matt -L2K 073 3FZ A2- and grey matt -L2K 073 7DL A2- is 4:1 with2-pack VHS hardener -LHA 009 051 A2-/-LVM 009 051 A5-.

Application time/pot life:
–  Mixed for spraying, 60 to 90 minutes at +20°C
May be thinned with 2-pack thinner, special -LVM 009 200 A2-, HS spot thinner -LVM 006 000 A2- or 2-pack thinner, slow-drying -LVM 009 300 A2-
  Note

Method of application: “spray”.
 

2-pack HS top coat

–  Application viscosity for +20 °C material temperature.
Application viscosity “compliant” and “HVLP”:
18-20 seconds
18-25 seconds for black matt -L2K 073 3FZ A2- and grey matt -L2K 073 7DL A2-.
 

2-pack HS top coat

–  Add 12.5% thinner at +20 °C material temperature.
 

2-pack HS top coat

–  Adjust spray nozzle following manufacturer's instructions to 1.2-1.4 mm for “compliancy”.
–  Adjust spray nozzle following manufacturer's instructions to 1.3-1.4 mm for “HVLP”.
–  Adjust spray pressure following manufacturer's instructions to 2.0-2.5 bar for “compliancy”.
–  Adjust atomising pressure following manufacturer's instructions to 0.7 bar for “HVLP”.
 

2-pack HS top coat

–  One-and-a-half spray coats are necessary to achieve the recommended dry-film thickness of 50-60 µm.
  Note
When used for spot repairs (Clever Repair method), 12.5% HS spot thinner -LVM 006 000 A2- may be substituted for the 12.5% 2-pack thinner, special -LVM 009 200 A2-.
Do not apply to horizontal surfaces.
The first half-coat should form a uniformly thin film over which a full spray coat is directly sprayed.
If the paint hue does not hide well, it may be necessary to apply an additional spray coat after an appropriate flash-off time. 2-pack HS top coat can be recoated with more of the same paint within 24 hours without »intermediate sanding«.
The mixing colours in this mixing paint series can be used only as part of a colour formula. If any mixing colour is applied alone, the results may differ substantially to the description in this technical data sheet.

2-pack HS top coat

The final flash-off time with infrared drying is at least 5 minutes.
 

2-pack HS top coat

Infrared drying of light colours with short-wave radiant heater: 5 minutes at 50% power and then 10 minutes at 100% power.
Infrared drying of light colours with medium-wave radiant heater: 15 minutes
Infrared drying of dark colours with medium-wave radiant heater: 12 minutes
Infrared drying of dark colours with short-wave radiant heater: 12 minutes at 50% power
  Note
If a short-wave radiant dryer is operated at 100% power to dry dark colours, bubbles or blisters may develop when the next coat is applied.

Special notes:
Elasticisation:
First mix the base material with 15% elastic additive -ALZ 011 001-.
Mixture with 2-pack VHS hardeners, 3:1 with 15% thinner
Matting and texturing:
 

2-pack HS top coat

First mix the base material with 100 % matting additive -ALN 775 106- or fine texture additive -ALN 775 108-.
  Note
No further addition of matting additive -ALN 775 106- is necessary for the 2-pack uni (solid-colour) top coats black matt -L2K 073 3FZ A2- and grey matt -L2K 073 7DL A2- because they are already prepared for a matt finish.
Mixing ratio with 2-pack VHS hardeners -LHA 009 051 A2-/-LVM 009 051 A5- is 4:1 with 15% thinner.
Two spray coats with 5-10 minutes flash-off time are necessary for a uniform paint film surface.
