N/A Comply with all local safety, disposal and transportation regulations. Check the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)and label of the individual products carefully before using the products. The MSDS’s are available on request. |
Note for Drying Times |
N/A Drying times have been determined using test pieces of a thickness < 2 mm and for 20 µm (0.8 mils) of dry film. Before accelerated drying = 70°C (158°F), leave to flash off for at least 15 minutes at room temperature. For the F69 infrared drying top coat, contact us. |
Surface Preparation
Surface Preparation |
N/A
The F69 direct adhesion top coat is used: On various aircraft assemblies: Make sure that the surface is clean and free from contaminants. Reactivation using an abrasive pad may be necessary, followed by cleaning with an approved solvent. F69 can be applied on all types of assemblies (aluminium alloys, titanium, etc.). On sealants and on structural primers and finishes: contact us for compatible materials.All recommendations mentioned above are given for information. |

Note for Pot Life (20 Degree Celsius (ºC) (68 Degree Fahrenheit (ºF)) Temperature |
N/A
Pot life depends on the dilution ratio. The paint viscosity may vary depending on the temperature and increases over the pot life. Depending on the flow cup used and the application temperature, the dilution may vary between 2.7 V and 3.3 V of water. Viscosities mentioned above correspond to the recommended range of viscosity to ensure compliant application. The range of dilution must be used to adjust viscosity to reach the recommended one. Water based paints show a thixotropic behavior. This implies that efflux time can vary according different parameters such as: type of mixing, mixing quantity, dilution, temperature, time between mixing and viscosity measurement. ISO 4 cup is the reference cup. The others are given for information purposes. |

Application Recommendations
Number of Coats |
N/A Apply several coats to achieve 20 µm to 30 µm (0.8 to 1.2 mils) dry thickness. The number of coats depends on the size and the shape of the part to which it is being applied. The recommended dynamic air pressure is 1.5 bar to 4 bar (22 to 58 psi). |
Temperature |
N/A 15 to 35 ºC59 to 95 ºF |
Relative Humidity |
N/A 20 to 85 % |
Conditions |
N/A Topcoat F69 may be applied in conditions outside of the limits shown above. However, it is recommended to be careful to ensure a satisfactory result. Please contact your local AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings representative to determine the proper application techniques when environmental conditions are outside of the recommended range. |
Equipment Recommendation |
N/A Gravity Compressed Air Gun Nozzle 0.8 to 1.8 mm. |
Note for Number of Coats |
N/A
In the event of a defect, contact your Quality Department. In case of too low thickness: Apply a thin coat of the F69 to achieve the required thickness. If the above recommended recoating time is exceeded, reactivate with an abrasive pad. For too thick coats: Contact your Quality Department. If there are micro-bubbles, runs, fish-eyes or numerous inclusions: Reactivate the surface using an abrasive paper (grade 220 to 320), remove the dust then clean the surface using an approved cleaning product. Apply a thin coat of F69 to achieve the required thickness. If there are significant defects: Remove the F69 with an approved chemical paint stripper or remove using a plastic medium (in this case, the surface treatment has to be re-done). |
Cleaning of Equipment |
N/A Clean the equipment with a suitable cleaning solvent such as Mapaero D760. |
Note for Cleaning of Equipment |
N/A Spray with dry, oil-free air. |
