Technical data sheet

Substrate

Suitable substrates:

All plastic parts commonly found on vehicle exteriors (PP, EPDM, ABS, PC, PPO, PA, R-TPU, PBTP, PVC, PUR, PUR flexible foam, UP-GF).

Substrate pre-treatment:

The substrate must be free of release agents.

Before cleaning plastic parts, temper them for 60 minutes at +60 °C to “sweat out” the release agents.

–	Clean with anti-static plastic cleaner -LVM 001 001 A2- or with the milder slow-drying silicone remover -LVM 020 100 A5-.

Note

The effort required for the necessary cleaning depends on the type and quantity of the release agent used. It is recommended to use an emery pad to help in cleaning.

Let the thinner evaporate completely (e.g. air-dry overnight at ambient temperature or for 30-40 minutes at +60 °C).

Adhesion promoter

–	Before priming, clean lightly once more with anti-static plastic cleaner -LVM 001 001 A2- or slow-drying silicone remover -LVM 020 100 A5- (with anti-static effect).

Flash-off time is 10-15 minutes at +20 °C ambient temperature.

Note

If spray work must be interrupted, ensure that the nozzle is cleared to avoid clogging by inverting the can and spraying until the valve is empty.

When treating small sand-through spots (max. 5.0 cm in diameter), the adhesion promoter -LLS MAX 015- can be recoated with top coat right away.

2-pack HS top coat
