Pretreatment


For maximum protection it is essential to pretreat components prior to the application of Interpon D2000. Aluminum components should receive a full multi-stage chromate conversion coating or suitable chrome-free pretreatment to clean and condition the substrate. Detailed advice should be sought from the pretreatment supplier.

Application


Interpon D2000 can be applied by manual or automatic electrostatic spray equipment.  It is recommended that for consistent application and appearance product be fluidized during application.  For solid shade, unused powder can be reclaimed using suitable equipment and recycled through the coating system.  For mixed colors and certain special finishes, advice must be sought from the manufacturer as to the suitability or otherwise of the product for recycling.  For all mixed color/special effect systems, advice must be sought as to the correct mixing ratio for virgin/reclaim powder.  For application of the D-Series Architectural Products, the required Dry Film Thickness (DFT) is 2.4 - 4.5 mils, with no measurement below 1.8 mils.

Safety Precautions


This product is intended for use only by professional applicators in industrial environments and should not be used without reference to the relevant health and safety data sheet which AkzoNobel has provided to it's customer.  If for any reason a copy of the relevant health and safety data sheet is not immediately available the user should contact AkzoNobel to obtain a copy before using the product.  Minimum safety precautions in dealing with all powder coatings are as follows.  All dusts are respiratory irritants.  Therefore, inhalation of the dust or the vapors resulting from the cure should be avoided  Take steps to prevent skin contact, but should contact occur, wash skin with soap and water.  In case of eye contact flush immediately with clean water and seek medical advice.  Dust clouds of any finely divided organic material can be ignited with an electric spark or open flame.  Dust and powder should not be allowed to build up on surfaces or ledges.  Dust collection equipment should be used which has provision for adequate explosion release.  All equipment should be electrically earthed to prevent build up of static.
