Motocryl 2K Acrylic
Product Description
Product brief
Motocryl 2K Acrylic is an air drying, 2-component Acrylic offering excellent gloss retention. It is also a low-bake system that can be force dried to reduce processing times.
Product Uses
- It is used for refinishing automotive vehicles in general, or whenever a high quality finish is required. This includes use as a topcoat in cases where high gloss retention is required.
- For the re-coating and repairing of commercial and passenger vehicles providing a superior appearance and exterior durability
Application Information
| Mixing: | – Stir until homogeneous. |
| Application Surface conditions: |
-Surface Temperature between 10 – 35°C Relative Humidity between 10. |
| Application methods: |
-Spray. Brush may also be used for lower quality jobs. |
| Mixing Ratio (By Volume) |
-4 parts Motocryl 2K Acrylic enamel: 1 part Motocryl 2K Acrylic Hardener: 1 part Motocryl 2K Acrylic Thinner (by volume). |
| Mixing: |
-This product is highly susceptible to moisture and should be mixed/stored in dry, non-humid conditions. After mixing base, hardener and thinner in the correct ratio, allow to stand for 5-7 minutes for bubbles/effervescence to subside, before use. |
| Hardener contains isocyanate: |
-Ensure adequate ventilation and good booth extraction when spraying and put on respirator. |
| Application Viscosity: |
-20 -22 seconds B4 Cup @25oC. |
| Application Pressure: |
-45 -50 PSI. |
| Thinner: |
-Motocryl 2K Acrylic Thinner. |
| Recoating Time: |
-12 hours at 23ºC 30 minutes when baked ay 80ºC. |
| Pot life: |
-The mixture has a Pot-life of between 4-6 hours therefore mix only what can all be used within the time. Any material not used beyond the Pot-life is useless and should not be used. |
| Cleaning of equipment: |
-After use, remove as much product as possible, and then clean immediately with 2K thinner. |
| Coats Required: |
-2 to 3 coats may be required to achieve 40-50 microns DFT. |
| Precautions: |
-Do not apply during cold (below 10°C) or wet weather. Use appropriate safety gear Accuracy in mixing ratios of Motocryl 2K Acrylic Hardener with Base paint is vital, as a deficit or surplus of hardener will affect the hardness and durability adversely. Motocryl 2K Acrylic Hardener should be kept in a tightly closed container, as humidity will turn it into a solid mass. |
