- An adhesion promoter that can be used in place of scuff sanding between paint coats
- Improves adhesion
- Chemical reactivation of aircraft topcoats
- No need to “scuff” the surface
For Exterior Aircraft Surfaces
Used for :
- Reactivating paint surfaces for subsequent coats to be applied
- Increasing adhesion between basecoat and clearcoat coatings
- Application on radome polyurethane boots before topcoat application
- Enhancing paint adhesion used for stenciling to topcoats
- Spray as a thin, wet film to wet the substrate being sprayed.
The Sur-Prep® AP-1 aerosol can be used in conjunction with the Formit® extensions to provide targeted spray to areas that may be difficult to reach but need to be coated. Please refer to our Formit® technical datasheet for more information.
Perform application using standard paint application methods, such as HVLP guns, air-assisted airless spray guns, and electrostatic spray equipment.
Coverage is typically 600 to 1000 ft2 /gal (15 to 25 m2 /l), and flies away weight generally is less than 0.2 lb/1000 ft2 (1 kg/1000 m2).
When Sur-Prep® AP-1 is applied, the promoter forms a fine, whitish-gray powder and is easily detectible as it reduces the 60° surface gloss of the topcoat from 90 to below 10.
Once applied, the surface coated with Sur-Prep® AP-1 shall not be touched or disturbed before applying any subsequent coating.
Gloss reduction disappears upon application of the subsequent coats and does not affect the appearance in any way.
