Enamel ML-12

If you compare the ML 12 “K” compared to the enamel ML 12, then the first one has increased film hardness and gloss. The phosphated and primed surface coated with ML 12 and ML 12 “K” can retain its protective and decorative properties in a temperate and cold climate for 5 years. The enamel film is resistant to temperature variations from -60 ° C to + 60 ° C. Shelf life – 12 months from the date of manufacture.

Purpose (ML-12)

Most often Enamel ML-12 “K” is used in the coloring of road transport, in the painting of agricultural equipment and in the car building industry. Enamel is applied both over the primer and over the putty. In rare cases, it can be applied to metal products that serve indoors.

Application

Before applying the enamel ML 12 you need to thoroughly mix it until smooth throughout the entire volume of the container. Enamel can be diluted with solvent in a volume of up to 25% by weight of enamel or solvents 647 and 650.

If necessary, the enamel can be diluted with solvents 647 and 650 or solvent in an amount up to 25% by weight of the enamel. During the work with a pneumatic spray, enamel needs to be diluted to working viscosity.

Enamel is applied with a paint sprayer in two layers or in one layer over the old coating. When painting small areas of enamel can be applied with a brush. When stained in electric current, the enamel ML 12k and ML 12 are diluted with RE-1B, RE-2B to a viscosity of 18-22 s using a B3-246 viscometer (nozzle 4 mm) at a temperature of (20 ± 0.5) ° С. Intermediate drying between layers for 5-7 minutes at a temperature of 20 ± 2 ° С. Consumption of enamels for single-layer coating – 70-100g / m ?. Consumption of enamels depends on the complexity of the painted surface, the thickness of the coating and the color of the enamel.

The enamel ML-12K is a hot-drying enamel, but when adding a hardener, the enamel dries even under normal atmospheric conditions, even without a chamber. Work in personal protective equipment using a respirator and rubber gloves. Keep paint away from digestive and respiratory organs. Do not carry out work near an open source of fire.
