Before application, surfaces must be cleaned from adhering contaminants. Metal surfaces require proper preparation, while ceramics, stone, PVC, rubber, ABS, polystyrene and polycarbonate can be coated with the white IR UV version without priming. For aged rubber surfaces, the upper surface layer should be removed mechanically before coating.

System Note Component B Options

Component B 001 is used for standard 5:1 acrylic enamel systems. For large-sized objects, relative humidity below 50%, or temperatures above 25°C, Component B 003 is recommended.

Component B 001: Standard hardener for 5:1 acrylic enamel systems.
Component B 003: Recommended for large objects, low humidity or higher temperature conditions. Mixing ratio with Component B 003: 3:1.
