Product description

The 2-pack HS top coat series is a high-solid, uni (solid-colour) top-coat system. Used for painting passenger vehicles.

The colour range is comprehensive due to a selection of mixture paints adjusted for this purpose.

Properties

♦ Easy to apply

♦ Fast-drying

♦ Excellent top coat flow

♦ VOC-conforming below 420 g/l

Suitable substrates

♦ Fully cured, solvent-resistant, well-preserved and lightly sanded old paint or original paint

♦ Surfaces treated with primer or surfacer

Suitable priming materials:

♦ Depends on the object and the substrate, in accordance with recommendations for paintwork structure

Substrate pretreatment

– Clean substrates thoroughly using silicone remover LVM 020 000 A5 or slow-drying silicone remover LVM 020 100 A5.

– Dry-sand using orbital sander, P400 to P500 grit dry sandpaper and dust collector.

– Or lightly sand wet using water-resistant P800 to P 1000 grit sandpaper.

– Use suitable cleaning agents for cleaning substrates to make sure that soiling and residue is removed completely.

Mixing ratio

– Prepare mixing ratio 3:1 by volume using the following hardeners:

♦ 2-pack VHS hardener, fast-drying LHA 009 050 A2 for small surfaces, spot repair

♦ 2-pack VHS hardener LHA 009 051 A2/LVM 009 051 A5 for small to medium-sized surfaces at medium temperatures

♦ 2-pack VHS hardener, slow-drying, LHA 009 052 A2/LHA 009 052 A3 for larger surfaces at medium temperatures

♦ 2-pack VHS hardener, extra slow-drying LHA 009 053 A2 for large surfaces and high temperatures

♦ See technical data sheets for → Chapter „2-pack VHS hardener“

– Prepare mixing ratio 4:1 by volume for 2-pack uni (solid-colour) top coat, matt black L2K 073 3FZ A2 and 2-pack uni (solid-colour) top coat, matt grey L2K 073 7DL A2 with 2-pack VHS hardener LHA 009 051 A2/LVM 009 051 A5:

Application

Application time/pot life:

– Ready for spraying: 60 to 90 minutes at +20°C.

Thinner

– Thin with 2-pack special thinner LVM 009 200 A2 or with HS spot thinner LVM 006 000 A2 or with 2-pack thinner, slow-drying LVM 009 300 A2.

– Note technical data sheet for → Chapter „HS spot thinner“ when using HS spot thinner.

Application viscosity

– Proceed with method of application: spray.

Application viscosity for +20°C material temperature.

– Observe application viscosity “Compliant” and “HVLP”:

♦ 18 to 20 seconds

♦ 18 to 25 seconds for 2-pack uni (solid-colour) top coat, matt black L2K 073 3FZ A2 and 2-pack uni (solid-colour) top coat, matt grey L2K 073 7DL A2

Thinner

– Add 12.5 % thinner at +20°C material temperature.

Spray nozzle and spraying pressure

– Adjust spray nozzle and spraying pressure according to manufacturer’s specifications:

Spray nozzleSpraying pressureAtomising pressureCompliant1.2 to 1.42.0 - 2.5 bar HVLP1.3 to 1.4 0.7 bar

Application

1.5 spray passes:

The first half spray pass forms a thin, uniform film.

Apply a full spray pass immediately afterwards.

– Apply recommended dry film thickness of 50 to 60 µm with 1.5 spray passes.

– If the paint hue does not hide well, it may be necessary to apply an additional spray coat after an appropriate flash-off time.

– Do not apply to horizontal surfaces.

♦ When repairing a minor damage, Clever Repair method, the 12.5% of 2-pack special thinner LVM 009 200 A2 can be replaced by 12.5% HS spot thinner LVM 006 000 A2.

♦ 2-pack HS top coat can be recoated with more of the same paint within 24 hours without intermediate sanding.

♦ The mixing colours in this mixing paint series can be used only as part of a colour formula.

♦ When using individual mixture paints alone, substantial variations from the specifications indicated on the product data sheet are possible.

Drying

Air drying at +20°C room temperature:

♦ Dust dry in 20 to 30 minutes

♦ Dry for assembly in 5 to 6 hours

♦ Dry overnight

Final flash-off time with force drying is at least 5 to 10 minutes.

Force drying at +60°C material temperature in 15 to 20 minutes.

Final flash-off time with infrared drying is at least 5 minutes.

Infrared drying of light colours with short-wave radiant heater:

♦ 5 minutes at 50% output

♦ Then, 10 minutes at 100 % output

Infrared drying of light colours with medium-wave radiant heater:

♦ 15 minutes

Infrared drying of dark colours with medium-wave radiant heater:

♦ 12 minutes

Infrared drying of dark colours with short-wave radiant heater:

♦ 12 minutes at 50% output

If a short-wave radiant dryer is operated at 100% power to dry dark colours, bubbles or blisters may develop when the next coat is applied.

Application

Plastification:

– First mix the base material with 15% of 2-pack plasticiser additive ALZ 011 001.

– Prepare mixture with 2-pack VHS hardeners, 3:1 by volume, with 15% thinner.

Structuring:

– First mix the base material with 100 % of 2-pack fine texture additive ALN 775 108.

– Prepare mixture with 2-pack VHS hardeners, 4:1 by volume, with 15% thinner.

– To achieve a uniform paint film surface, apply 2 spray passes with a flash-off time of 5 to 10 minutes between the passes.

Matting:

– First mix the base material with 100% of matting component ALN 775 106.

– To achieve a uniform paint film surface, apply 2 spray passes with a flash-off time of 5 to 10 minutes between the passes.

♦ For 2-pack uni (solid-colour) top coat, matt black L2K 073 3FZ A2 and 2-pack uni (solid-colour) top coat, matt grey L2K 073 7DL A22, no further addition of matting component ALN 775 106 is required, as they are already set to a mat finish.

♦ The mixing ration with 2-pack VHS hardener LHA 009 051 A2/LVM 009 051 A5 is 4:1 by volume with 15% thinner.
