Product Performance:

• When applied at the recommended wet film thickness (WFT) of 5-6 mils over the surface profile, it will deposit the recommended dry film thickness (DFT) of 2.5 mils.
• Dry to touch and weather-resistant in 5-8 hours, and fully cured in 16 hours.
• Covers 280 square ft. per gallon when applied at the recommended film thickness.
• Can provide up to 2 years of outdoor protection and 5 years of indoor or undercover protection on metal substrates at the recommended dry film thickness.

Application Equipment Recommendations: 

• Pumps with ratios of 15:1 or greater are advised for efficient use of container content.
