    always — standard hardener, fixed ratio for the M version

    Catalog gives PC60 30*–50 % for the whole PPL RAL line; the asterisked 30 % is for the DM (dead-flat) versions, M takes 50 %. Weigh it — short on hardener gives a soft film, over gives brittleness and yellowing.

    slow — above ~25 °C, large panels, when you need more flow-out

    Longer open time: more dust pick-up and sag risk on verticals. Can be blended with S50 in any proportion as long as the total stays within 20–30 % (our recommendation).

Air spray is the method the dealer states ('air spray, 150 g/m² per coat'). Low transfer efficiency — lots of overspray, good extraction is a must.

Airmix (air-assisted airless)

Nozzle
09–11 thou (0.23–0.28 mm), 40–50° fanrecommended
Pressure · fluid

Pressure · air

For production runs of fronts; near air-spray quality with far less overspray.

Airless

Nozzle
11–13 thou (0.28–0.33 mm)recommended
Pressure · fluid
120–160 barrecommended

Not the preferred method for a finish enamel — use airmix instead.

Temperature and humidity

Don'ts
  • don't use the mix past 4 h at 20 °C
  • don't thin past 30 % — hide and build drop off
  • don't lay heavy coats wet-on-wet — solvent pop
  • don't sand or polish the final coat
  • don't swap PC60 for another hardener without asking Technocolor (the dealer gives only PC60 for R9003 M; PC20 appears as an alternative on e.g. the R9005 M page)

Storage

Shelf life

Storage temperature

Safety: Use respiratory, hand and eye protection and overalls in production. Keep away from children. Dispose of waste at an approved site per regulations; never release to the environment. The PC60 hardener contains isocyanates — wear an A2/P2 organic-vapour respirator or supplied air.
