Instructions for use of Poltix Topcoat EB

Before applying the vinylester topcoat, please follow the instructions below:

Make sure the surface is dry and free of grease, contamination, loose parts, previous (synthetic) paint layers and other impurities.
Sand the surface with grit P60 - P80 and degrease with Double Coat Degreaser.
Mix the vinylester topcoat thoroughly with 2% MEKP hardener.
Preferably use a brush to apply the topcoat (this product is not suitable for airless application).
Apply Poltix Topcoat EB evenly. Avoid thin spots in the layer and therefore apply sufficient material per layer.

Tip: with the increasing of temperature, the gelation time is notably shortened. This results in an insufficient degree of polymerisation. If the temperature is too high, it will harden too fast, which can cause air inclusions. It is therefore advisable to work at a minimum temperature of 15°C and on a substrate that is at least 3°C above the dew point.
