APPLICATION

Surface Preparation

Substrate should be free of grease, oil, dirt, fingerprints, drawing compounds, rust inhibitors (except Cortec® approved), or any other surface contamination that could affect adhesion. For production line applications, use VpCI®- 440 or similar phosphatizing pre-treatment. For structural steel applications, Cortec® recommends a minimum of a NACE #3/ SSPC-SP6 commercial blast clean. Consult Cortec® Technical Service and/or test system adhesion prior to full scale application.

Note: Power agitate to a uniform consistency using a “squirrel cage” type mixer, hand-held drill mixer, or other equivalent method. VpCI®-369 D can be applied by spray, roll, brush, or dip.

Typical Equipment Setups

HVLP / Conventional Spray
• Tip 0.02”-0.11” (0.5-2.8 mm) dependent upon pressures and viscosity
• Air Pressure 45-55 psi
• Fluid Pressure 10 psi
• Fluid hose should be ⅜” (0.95 cm) I.D. with a maximum length of 50 feet (15.2 m). Pot should always have dual regulation and be kept at same elevation as spray gun.

Air Assisted Airless / Airless
• Tip 0.015”-0.035” (0.38-0.89 mm) dependent upon pressures and viscosity
• Pressure 1800-2500 psi
• Hose should be ⅜” (0.95 cm) I.D. minimum, but a ¼”
• (0.64 cm) I.D. whip end section may be used for ease of application. A maximum length of 100 feet (30.5 m) is suggested.

Cleanup
Clean tools/equipment immediately after use with Butyl Acetate when paint is still wet. When dry, use Butyl Cellusolve or MEK. Follow mfg’s safety recommendations when using any solvent.
