Delivery forms

Colour: clear
4.5 kg, 22.5 kg and spray bottles on request.

Storage

Synthite AC-43 can be stored at room temperature and in closed containers for up to 36 months (max. 30 °C). The varnish has to be stored in cold, dry places, protected against direct sunlight.

Hardening

Air drying time (on copper plate):
10 min. - set to touch
Baking of 20-30 min. at 150 °C will provide a film with optimum toughness and bond strength.

Protection

Use in well ventilated area, aboid contact with skin and eyes and wear protective clothes. Please observe the safety data sheet.

Processing

Synthite AC-43 may be applied by dipping, brushing or spraying as supplied.
For fast conveyor application, the following cycle is recommended:
1. Preheat units for 10 min. at 110 °C
2. Dip into the varnish for 30 sec.
3. Drain 10-20 min.
4. Bake 60-90 min. at 110 °C
For this type of cycle Synthite AC43 should be diluted 10-15 % with Dolph's® T-200 thinner.
