Component Identification:






























Material:
^ Solvent-based base coat
^ Water-based base coat

Processing method:
^ Metallic finish:
1. ESTA application
2. Pneumatic application

^ Solid finish:
ESTA

Coat thickness:
^ 13 microm (±2 microm) with metallic finish
^ 20 microm (±5 microm) with solid finish

Intermediate drying:
^ Solvent-based base coat:
2 to 3 min flash-off time at ambient temperature

^ Water-soluble base coat:
3 min at 60 °C

Function:
^ The base coat serves as the base for the color and creates the effect for metallic paints.
^ It has good adhesion properties to the substrate and for the subsequent clear varnish.

40 - 45 microm

Stoving conditions:
130 °C, 22 min

Function:
^ Optical properties: gloss, blending, effect formation
^ Weather resistance: gloss stability, lightfastness, crack stability
^ High elasticity (stone chipping guard).

Notes on clear varnish coat:
^ Solvent-based base coat: 1K clear varnish
^ Water-soluble base coat: 2K clear varnish
