Application Guidelines
- Surface Preparation: Metal surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of rust, oil, and mill scale
- Temperature Range: Substrate temperature should be 50-95°F (10-35°C) at the time of application
- Product Preparation: Use as supplied; ensure uniform consistency prior to use
- Stirring Requirements: Continued stirring generally not required
- Application Methods: Can be applied by airless spray, conventional spray, or brush
- Ambient Conditions: Apply when ambient and product temperature is 50-95°F (10-35°C)
- Thinning: DO NOT THIN TECTYL 1422 S Black; incorrect thinning will affect film build, dry time, and product performance
- Cold Storage Issues: If product thickens due to cold storage or loss of solvent during use, contact Daubert Chemical Company

Storage and Handling
- Film Removal: The dry film is not normally intended for removal; can be stenciled over after curing
- Equipment Cleaning: Xylene, Acetone, or Ketone solvents will remove fresh residue accumulated on application equipment
- Removability Considerations: If removability is a factor, contact Daubert Chemical Company for evaluation prior to application
- Storage Conditions: Store at temperatures between 50-95°F (10-35°C)
- Agitation: Mild agitation recommended prior to use
- Ventilation Requirements: Adequate ventilation required for cure and to prevent formation of combustible liquid
- Safety Precautions: Partially cured film should not be exposed to ignition sources such as flares, flames, sparks, excessive heat, or torches
- Chemical Compatibility: Addition of any product over or under this coating is not recommended
- Authorization: Written authorization required from Daubert Chemical Company if a product other than their recommended product is required
- Safety Information: Refer to Daubert’s Material Safety Data Sheet for additional handling and first aid information
