Always test a small sample to ensure that the desired result is achieved before proceeding with the main project. Note that this product has a long curing time and that the test sample should be left for at least 24 hours before checking. If in doubt, do not proceed.

The base surface to be treated must be thoroughly cleaned, dry and free from fat/oil, and also free of any silicone, wax or polish traces using Nanolia PreCleaner. Pre-treatment with Acetone is not sufficient. For Aluminium and Magnesium surfaces Nanolia Pre-Clean M1 is recommended. No prior priming is required. Nanolia’s Powercoat Pro coating can be used on surfaces that have already been painted with other products, as a sealing. Coatings must be thoroughly dry (minimum drying period of 6 weeks), and before application a test should be made on the surface to be treated in a suitable place. Any areas of corrosion which may be present must be removed. If used for the coating of plastic materials a test should be made in a suitable place to test that the base material has enough resistance to solvents. (i.e. decorative stripes on the boat hull). The adhesion on glassfibre GFK and on plastic materials is improved, in certain cases, by prior sanding with a very fine sandpaper.

Use undiluted. Please note that the mixing proportions are calculated by weight or volume and must be strictly adhered to. The smaller the amount required, the more exact must be the quantities of the components. When mixing the base component and the hardener, according to the volume instructions, it is vitally important that separate dosing nozzles are used for the base component and the hardener. Never dip the nozzle which has been used to take up the base material immediately into the hardener and vice-versa. Should even the smallest amount of the base component get into the hardener, it is possible that the hardening component chemically “turns” and is no longer useable. Close the container with the hardening component immediately after extracting the amount you need. After adding the hardening agent it is advisable to let the mixture rest for about 15 minutes, in order that the air bubbles caused by mixing can escape.

The maximum pot-life of the mixed components is 4 hours – therefore please make sure that you mix no more of the product than you require in this time span. Although the mixed product may still be liquid after a period of 24 hours, it is not to be used after the pot-life period of time.

The working temperature (both the working environment and the base material) to be treated must be above 5 °C. The best results are to be achieved at between 15 °C and 25 °C. Do not work with the product in direct sunlight. High air humidity following the application accelerates the drying.

Application is possible using the accepted methods (rolling, brush-painting, spraying or by immersion). To achieve the most successful surface HVLP-Spray application is recommended. Alternatively you can apply with a fine pored foam roller (use strong pressure in order get a really thin surface without stripes or dimples) or a lint free cloth (only for small surfaces recommended). Apply to the surface, as thinly as possible. It is a basic principle of application that “less is more”. The very best results are obtained when the coating is applied wafer-thin on the surface to be treated. Due to the lengthened drying time, it is possible to polish out any foreign bodies from the coating. A treated surface cannot be painted over. A second coating should only be applied after a light sanding-down.

After use the working tools may be cleaned with the usual thinners available locally. If you use dosing squirts for mixing: The one used for the base material can be used several times; but the one for hardener should be cleaned each time with water.

Following the correct application, the shine/gloss, smoothness and hardness are not immediately finally apparent, but in the course of the following few days become more and more visible.

Details in the application vary depending upon the surface which is to be coated. We are happy to advise you fully in these cases.
