DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Surface Preparation

General

• Surfaces must be dry, clean, and free from contaminants.
• Ensure removal of dirt, dust, oil, and other contaminants that could interfere with coating adhesion.
• Oil and grease should be removed as per SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.
• Surface should be checked and treated in accordance with ISO 8504 prior to priming.

Primed Surfaces

• Suitable epoxy primer or epoxy/polyurethane undercoat; dry and free from surface contamination.
• APCOTHANE CF 674 / APCOTHANE 674 must be applied within the specified overcoating interval of the primer/undercoat.
• In case of aged epoxy coatings, ensure surface is clean and sufficiently roughened prior to painting.

---

Application Conditions

• Substrate temperature must be at least 3°C above dew point but not above 50°C.
• Relative humidity should be below 85%.
• Good ventilation is required in confined areas to ensure proper curing.

---

Mixing

• Supplied in two packs. Stir base and hardener separately.
• If settling occurs, loosen material manually then mix mechanically for uniformity.
• Gradually add hardener to base under continuous stirring as per the mixing ratio.
• Use the mixture within the working pot life.
• Avoid part mixing; if necessary, tightly reseal containers to prevent moisture ingress.
• Add thinner only after mixing and induction time.
• Excessive thinner reduces sag resistance.

Mixing Ratio (by volume)	Base : Hardener = 9 : 1
Induction Time	15 minutes
Pot Life @ 30°C	4 hours

Application

Method	Recommended Thinner	Volume of Thinner	Nozzle Orifice	Nozzle Pressure
Brush / Roller	T-213	0 – 5%*	–	–
Air Spray	T-213	0 – 15%*	1.5 – 3.0 mm	0.3 – 0.4 MPa (≈3–4 atm; 43–57 psi)
Airless Spray	T-213	0 – 10%*	0.28 – 0.33 mm	10 – 13 MPa (≈100–130 atm; 1400–1800 psi)

Note: Depending on recommended film thickness and application conditions.

---

Cleaning

• Do not allow product to remain in hoses, guns, or spray equipment.
• Clean all equipment immediately after use with Thinner T-213.
• Periodically flush spray equipment during the working day; frequency depends on amount sprayed, temperature, and time gap.
• Dispose of surplus material and empty containers as per local regulations.

---

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

• Gloss, sheen, and finish depend on application method; best gloss achieved via conventional spray.
• Minimum two coats recommended for proper hiding and uniformity, especially with brush application.
• Pastel shades (white/yellow/red tones) require minimum two coats for full opacity.
• Only use recommended thinner; alternate thinners affect drying/curing.
• Premature exposure to condensation or rain may cause colour/gloss change.
• Not recommended for immersion conditions.
• Extended exposure to strong chemicals or solvents may cause discoloration.

---

OVERCOATING

• APCOTHANE CF 674 / 674 can be top-coated on most epoxy and polyurethane primers/undercoats as advised by Asian Paints PPG representative.
• For weathered/aged coatings, ensure surface is free from contamination before application.
• Adhesion on aged surfaces depends on secondary surface preparation.

---

PACK SIZE

• 20 L

---

STORAGE

• Shelf life: At least 12 months at 30°C in unopened pack (subject to inspection thereafter).
• Store in a cool, dry place as per local regulations.

---

---

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Avoid inhalation of solvent vapours or paint mist and contact of liquid paint with skin/eyes.
• Provide forced ventilation when applying in confined or stagnant areas.
• Even with ventilation, always use respiratory, skin, and eye protection when spraying.
• Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before using the product.
