SURFACE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

This primer can be applied directly to metal that has been prepared according to a recognized cleaning method such as Federal Test Method Standard, #141 and Method 2013. It is recommended that all parts be pretreated with PTI’s Acid Etching Wash Primer, PT-402 which meets MIL-C-8514. However, parts can also be pretreated with chemical conversion coating materials or alodine.

  • Scuff the surface with scotch bright pads.
  • Dust off the surface with an air hose and wand.
  • Wipe of the substrate with IPA, Acetone or PTC-2002 to remove grime and oils
  • Remove all remaining dust and debris by lightly wiping the substrate with a tack or “cheese” cloth
  • For additional protection apply PTI’s Acid Etch Primer prior to the Epoxy Primer

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Shake component A in a paint shaker for 5 – 10 minutes for optimal results.Admix by volume:

  1. Stir or shake both component “A” and “B” well before mixing
  2. Add 1 part of Component “A” to 1 part of Component “B” by volume and stir thoroughly. Stir each well before mixing. If additional reducing is required use PT-1002 or PT-1003 TY II as needed.
  3. Mix only an amount that can be used in one day.

APPLICATION

This product can be applied using conventional air spray equipment, HVLP spray system. Please consult with a PTI representative for specific equipment recommendations and settings.

  1. Make sure pots, guns, and lines are purged and cleaned.
  2. Mix both base and catalyst thoroughly and filter/strain before spray application.
  3. HVLP Spray Pressure: 7-10psi. Convention spray equipment 25-40 psi
  4. Always air-blow and tack wipe the surfaces to be painted. Aircraft should be grounded to prevent static.
  5. Best application results: apply 1 fog/tack coat at 0.5 mil thickness followed by a heavy coat that can be up to 1.5 mils. This product is intended for high build film thickness, apply additional coats if necessary.

NOTE: Application of PTI products requires the use of all OSHA approved safety equipment, including proper ventilation. Additionally, PTI products require the recommended temperature/humidity conditions and film thickness ranges for optimal performance. The material, hangar, and aircraft skin temperatures should be no lower than 75⁰ F / 25⁰ C before, during and after application.
