For the maximum recoat interval, refer to the Application Guide (AG) for this product.
Drying and curing times are determined based on temperature and relative humidity below 85%, with dry film thickness within the average range.
Under certain conditions the product can be applied to substrates at temperatures as low as -5°C, depending on factors including but not limited to thinner and ventilation.
Extra care is required when overcoating at low temperatures; the whole coating system requires higher temperatures to cure and develop good mechanical strength.

| Walk-on Dry | The minimum time after which the coating allows normal foot traffic without leaving permanent footprints, marks or other physical damage. |
Minimum recoat interval after drying: the recommended minimum interval before applying the next coat.
Dry/cured to service: the minimum time before the coating can be permanently exposed to a specific environment/medium.

At the above temperatures, protective performance is unaffected, but appearance may be affected.
Note: this coating can withstand different immersion temperatures, depending on the specific chemical and whether immersion is continuous or intermittent. Heat resistance is affected by the coating system as a whole.
When used with other coatings, ensure that all coatings in the system have similar heat resistance.
Depending on the actual exposure conditions in service, this product may be used with various primers and topcoats. Some reference systems are listed below. For specific systems, contact JOTUN.
