Application Best Practices: Prep, DFT, Cure

Consistent performance starts with consistent application. Here’s how to tighten process control.

Checklist

  • Surface prep to NACE/SSPC requirements
  • Mixing ratios, induction times, and temperature windows
  • DFT measurement at each layer
  • Cure verification before turnover

Top Lessons

Prep is Everything

Adhesion failures often trace back to inadequate blast profile or contaminants. Follow TDS surface prep guidance exactly.

DFT Discipline

Measure DFT per layer; overbuild can trap solvents, underbuild can reduce life. Target windows matter.

Cure Validation

Use cure indicators or hardness checks before topcoating; rushing leads to gloss loss or adhesion issues.

Environmental Controls

Temperature and humidity influence open time, pot life, and cure; adjust work plans accordingly.
