Epoxy hardener (1495)

Definition: Gemsa Epoxy Hardener is a polyamine-based material used for hardening epoxy-based primers, paints and varnishes.

Application Properties: Since Gemsa Epoxy Topcoat paint is double component, it is cured with hardener and made ready for application. To prepare the paint, the hardener (4/1 ratio) is added to the paint at the recommended rate and thoroughly mixed.

Application Tools: Pistole, Brush or Roller

Application Thinner: Solvents with high polar power such as Gemsa rapid thinner, toluene, xylol, etc.

Method of Application: Before application, surface oil, dust, dirt, pre-painted surfaces should be completely cleaned from paint residues, etc. Metal surfaces to be painted should be cleaned from all kinds of oil, rust and dirt. Concrete and plaster surfaces are cleaned from dust, dirt and old paint residues, washed if necessary, completely dried. There must be adequate and appropriate ventilation in terms of health and fire safety in indoor applications.

Storage Type and Duration: 1 year in a cool and dry environment not receiving direct sunlight, sealed packaging (+5°C to +30°C)

Drying Time:

Touch drying: 1.5-2 hours     Hard drying: 48 hours.

Chemical drying: 7 days   Second coat application: Minimum 8, maximum 24 hours

The drying time may vary depending on the temperature and air circulation of the application medium and the film thickness coefficient.

Mixing Ratio: 4 parts 1st 1 part 2 with Component (Epoxy Primer) It is used by mixing the component (hardener).

Mixing Life: The mixture should be consumed within 8 hours at 20°C. Do not pour the paint with and without hardener into the paint without hardener.
