Clay Media Protective Coating Stripcoat 4490AL should be used as received. It is applied by airless spray, spinning, roll coating, or dipping. The sprayed coating dries to touch in 10 minutes or less, depending on temperature and film thickness. 4490AL should be applied to form a dry film in the range of 1 to 3 mil (.001" to .003") thick. Application temperature is ambient to no lower than 50 F, as drying times will be affected.

4490AL will cure tack-free within 10 minutes after application. This is dependent upon temperature, humidity and thickness of coating. Deviations from application section will require adjustments in the curing times, as well as in the strip ability parameters.

Curing may be accelerated by forced drying at 110 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 to 7 minutes.

It is imperative that 4490AL be thoroughly cured and dry, with no solvent odor being emitted before an attempt is made to strip the coating from the substrate. Substrates should not be stored in airtight containers until the 4490AL is completely cured.
