Plas-Stick^™ Flex-Additive 2350S

Desciption

General Information

Components

2350S - Plas-Stick^TM Flex-Additive is for use with the following products:

• DuPont URO^® Primer-Filler
• ChromaOne^® Single-Stage
• ChromaClear^® Clearcoats
• ChromaPremier^TM Sealer
• ChromaPremier^TM Single-Stage
• ChromaPremier^TM Clearcoats

Mix Ratio

Topcoats

For ChromaPremier^TM Single-Stage and ChromaOne^® Single-Stage topcoats, add 2 ounces of 2350S per ready-to-spray quart.

Tips For Success

7600S and V7600S are not recommended for use on plastic parts.

Pot Life
30 - 60 minutes. Mix the appropriate amount of material for the job and clean equipment immediately after use.

Application

Surface Preparation

All plastic substrates must be thoroughly cleaned in the following manner:

• Wash with mild detergent and hot water.
• Clean with Plas-Stick^TM Plastic-Prep 2319S to further remove mold release agents. Use a clean cloth for this step and repeat applications if needed.
• Sand thoroughly with P500 - P600 grit paper and follow with a gray scuff pad.
• Reapply 2319S to remove sanding sludge and to eliminate static.
• Wipe dry.

Tips for Success

• To test the surface preparation, pour a cap of 2319S on the prepared area. 2319S will sheet cleanly over a clean substrate. If 2319S beads up, the surface is not clean.
• For difficult-to-clean and textured plastics, temper the substrate for 30 minutes at 140° F after cleaning and sanding (if applicable). This may be helpful in driving out further mold release agents. Do not sand after tempering. Reapply 2319S after tempering
• Use a clean cloth for applying and wiping 2319S.
• If the part is pre-primed, try to avoid cut-throughs. If cut-throughs occur, complete the surface prep procedure and follow the recommended Plas-Stick^TM re-finishing system designated for the unprimed plastic substrate you are working with.
• Refer to Automotive Plastics Refinishing Guide for complete system repair procedures.

Note:
Tempering is not beneficial for urethane parts (PUR) due to "post cure" temperatures in excess of 140° F.

Caution:
Do not use solvent-based cleaners on unprimed plastic or fiberglass (i.e., 3900S, 3901S, 3919S, 3939S) due to static buildup and the potential for flash fire.

Gun Setups*

Conventional

Siphon Feed	1.4 mm - 1.6 mm (.055" - .063")
Gravity Feed:	1.3 mm - 1.5 mm (.051" - .059")

HVLP

Siphon Feed	1.4 mm - 1.6 mm (.055" - .063")
Gravity Feed:	1.3 mm - 1.5 mm (.051" - .059")

Note:
The use of ChromaSystem^TM Flex-Additive 2350S will act to reduce the ready-to-spray viscosity of ChromaSystem^TM products. In addition, the application of products containing 2350S are typically small in area of coverage and require low film builds for maximum performance. For these reasons, we recommend a more restricted gun setup compared to normal applications.

Air Pressure*

Siphon Feed	35 - 40 psi @ the gun.
Gravity Feed:	30 - 35 psi @ the gun.

HVLP

Siphon Feed	6 - 8 psi @ the gun cap.
Gravity Feed:	6 - 8 psi @ the gun cap.

* The listed setups cover the usual range for various application equipment. For information on specific manufacturers' equipment, see the Appendix section titled "Equipment Information" in DuPont's ChromaSystem^TM Technical Manual.

Application/Dry Times

• DuPont URO^® Prime
  Apply 2 - 3 light coats to achieve proper fill. Allow good flash time and avoid excessive film build. Force dry for 60 minutes at 140° F or air-dry overnight before sanding.
• ChromaPremier^TM Sealer
  Apply one medium coat to achieve uniformity of the surface on pre-primed and OEM painted substrates. Allow 30 minutes flash time prior to topcoating.
• Single Stage
  Apply 2 - 3 coats, allowing good flash time between coats. Force dry for 30 - 60 minutes at 140° F or air-dry overnight before handling.
• Clearcoat
  Apply two coats of the appropriate clearcoat, allowing good flash between coats and avoiding excessive film build. Force dry for 30 - 45 minutes at 140° F or air-dry overnight.

Recoatability/Re-Repair: Allow overnight dry before performing re-repair operations.

Sanding

The use of 2350S in primer, single-stage and clearcoat will slow dry and cure times. Allow additional dry time before sanding flexibilized primer surfacer, or sanding and polishing single-stage and clearcoat finishes.

Cleanup: Clean spray equipment as soon as possible with DuPont Lacquer Thinner.
