PREPARATION OF WATER-BASED PAINTS

The viscosity of the paints is of great importance. The best results are obtained with paints
between 25 and 40 DIN sec (Measured in immersion fl ow cup DIN 4 mm; 0.16 inch).
Processing of up to 60 DIN-s is generally possible without problem, if high coating
thicknesses are required.
In the case of application problems contact the paint producer.
