Description

Art No: CTX-6003-08 – 6003 AutoBorne Sealer Grey – 240ml

AutoBorne Sealers are a professional, waterborne DTS (Direct To Substrate) primer for application direct to aluminium, wood and most plastics. It is not a direct-to-metal (DTM) primer. When working on bare metal, first apply a self etching DTM primer.

AutoBorne Sealers are waterborne sealers designed for use with waterborne and solvent borne basecoat paints. The sealers should be colour-keyed with the basecoat or mid‐coat colour to be applied for improved coverage. AutoBorne Sealers are easy to apply, dry quick, self‐level and may be dry‐sanded. As part of a complete custom system topcoat with Auto-Air Colors or Wicked Colors for a seamless colour system as well as any other type of waterborne or solvent‐based paint.

• Compatible for use with any paint type including urethane, water-based and waterborne.
• Universally compatible with all automotive primers.
• VOC compliant in the United States, Canada and Europe.
• Available in a full line of colours for colour–keyed mid-coat application
• May be used as base coat and top-coated direct
• Excellent durability and tenacious adhesion for long lasting paint jobs
• Resists cracking and prevents bleed through FROM underlying fillers
• Excellent self-levelling
• Quick to Dry
• Easy to Sand

Preparation of Substrates:

• Harder plastics such as polystyrene may require application of an adhesion promoter prior to application of sealer.
• Metal (except aluminium) requires a self-etching DTM primer before application of AutoBorne sealer.
• Wash all surfaces to be painted with wax and grease remover.
• If sanding is required, prepare surface with 600 – 800 grade sandpaper.
• If surface is sanded, wash off all residues with wax and grease remover.

Conditions:

• 21 Deg C with humidity levels under 65%
• Best results are achieved with increased air temperatures in a non-humid environment
• Use fans to assist air drying
• Painting in or drying paint in lower temperatures or higher humidity levels will require extended flash and drying times.

Equipment set-up:

• Spray gun fluid tip 1.3 – 1.4mm
• Touch-up gun fluid tip size 0.8 – 1.2mm
• Approx. 19 – 28 psi inlet, adjust gun for wetted coats which are not over-atomized

Not recommended for use with an airbrush

Application:

• Reduce 9:1 with 4011 High Performance Reducer (approx. 10% per volume)
• Allow reduced mixture to set 10 minutes or more prior to spraying
• Reduction allows for a smoother finish and improved coating integrity.
• 2 – 3 coats for complete coverage
• Re-coat (between coats) approx. 10 minute flash time or until dried to a matte finish mid-coat (or base coat), approx. 60 minutes.
• Use air flow or heat (175 Deg F or less) to assist flashing between coats
• Re-coat paint after approximately 30 minutes drying time
• Dry to sand after approximately 60 minutes for best shaving. Dry sand only.
• Use of heat reduces dry times. Do not exceed 175 Deg F
• Dry sand with 800 – 1000 grit paper
• Sanding is not required prior to application of paint or top-coat clear
• Dry Sand Only. Do not wet sand.
