Structuring Component, Fine -ALN 775 108-

Edition 04/2013

Product Description

The Structuring Component, Fine -ALN 775 108- is a component for the two-part HS top coat and changes it into a textured paint.

The top coat can be used for plastic finishes on vehicles.

Application Instructions

Base Surface

Suitable base surfaces:

Hardened, well-preserved and sanded old paint or factory paints

Plastic parts treated with primer or filler

Note

For information about plastic parts, refer to "The VW/Audi Coating System for Plastic Parts" (Data Sheet 5.74).

Pre-treatment of base surfaces:

Carefully clean using Silicone Remover -LVM 020 000 A5- or Silicone Remover, Long -LVM 020 100 A5-.

Dry-sand with rotary sander and dust extraction (P 400 to 500 grit).

Or wet-sand with P 800 grit sandpaper

Use a suitable cleaning agent before reworking to ensure a clean and residue-free surface.

Processing

Mixing ratio

Mixing ratio 1:1 by volume with two-part HS top coat:

Afterwards combine this mixture 4:1 by volume with a suitable two-part VHS hardener.

See technical application information two-part VHS hardener. Refer to → Chapter "Two-Part VHS Hardener and Two-Part VHS Performance Hardener".

Dilutable with:

Two-Part Thinner, Special -LVM 009 200 A2/A5-

Two-Part Thinner, Long -LVM 009 300 A2-

Processing time/pot life:

Ready to spray in 90-100 minutes at +20 C (68 F)

Application type "coat"

Processing viscosity 4 mm for +20 C (68 F), German Industry Standardization 53211

Processing viscosity at +20 C (68 F) material temperature is the mixing viscosity for "Compliant" and "HVLP".

Adding 15 % thinner at +20 C (68 F) material temperature

Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" 1.3 to 1.4 mm.

Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 1.3 to 1.5 mm.

Set spray pressure (see manufacturer's information): "Compliant" to 2.0 to 2.5 bar.

Set atomizing pressure (see manufacturer's information): "HVLP" 0.7 bar.

Two spray applications are required with drying time (5 to 10 minutes) to get a dry layer thickness of between 50 and 60 mm.

Note

The addition of Elastic Additive -ALZ 011 001- is omitted.

Structuring Component, Fine -ALN 775 108- is only suitable for use on attachments (for example, bumpers, spoilers).

Various effects can be created using different spraying techniques and layer thicknesses.

Structuring Component, Fine -ALN 775 108- is thixotropically mixed, which means it becomes fluid when stirred.

Drying

Air dry at +20 C (68 F) room temperature:

Dust dry after 30 to 50 minutes

Ready for assembly after 4 to 6 hours

Dry overnight

Final drying time with forced drying is a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes.

Forced dry at +60 C (140 F) object temperature for 30 to 40 minutes

Final drying time for IR drying is 5 minutes.

IR dry with a short-wave radiator for 10 to 15 minutes and with a medium-wave radiator for 15 to 20 minutes.

Personal Protective Equipment:

Note the safety data sheets

Wear the personal protective equipment during application
