Lausitzer Farbwerke Autolack - Traditional agricultural machine paint

High-quality 2-component paint from Lausitzer Farbwerke with a suitable hardener

This paint has very good adhesion, high opacity and is also impact-resistant and abrasion-resistant.

You will be sent two paint cans and have to mix them in a 5:1 ratio. (Mixing ratio: 5:1 (component A : component B))

Apply it very thinly and you will get a perfect result. This saves you time, paint and ensures quick drying.

Please note:

The application of 2K or 2-component paint is explained very simply and quickly.

The name itself says that the finished paint consists of 2 different components. It is a so-called master paint (varnish, paint, primer) and the matching hardener. There are a few things to consider for problem-free processing of a 2-component paint. The description of the paint always contains the most important data about the paint. These are the following points:

• Which hardener goes with the varnish
• Mixing ratio
• Processing viscosity
• dilution
• Pot life
• Processing time
• Type of processing (application)
• Processing conditions

These points in detail:

• What hardener goes with the paint?

In the description of the paint (usually even on the paint can), the exact name of the hardener that goes with the paint is always given. Please never use any other hardener.

• Mixing ratio

The two components, i.e. paint and hardener, are mixed together in a specific ratio directly before processing. This ratio is also specified in the description of the paint or on the paint can. Here as an example: mixing ratio 5:1 (by weight) that means that you weigh out 5 parts paint and 1 part hardener and mix them together.

Depending on how much paint you need for one work step, it is best to take a kitchen scale, place an empty can on it and then first fill e.g. B 500 grams of paint and then add 100 grams of hardener. That would then be the stated mixing ratio of 5:1 by weight. Stir this mixture well for at least 1 minute.

• Processing viscosity

Viscosity is a measure of the viscosity. The higher the viscosity, the thicker (less flowable) the liquid is, the lower the viscosity, the thinner (more flowable) it is. Depending on the type of paint and processing (painting, spraying, rolling, pouring, dipping) it may be necessary to change the viscosity, i.e. to add a little thinner. As a rule, the addition of thinner is between 1% and 20%.

• dilution

Just like with the hardener, it is important to use the right thinner. This is also stated in the description of the paint and usually on the paint can.

• Pot life

The pot life is understood as the duration of the processability of reactive materials, e.g. B paints. It is therefore the time between mixing a multi-component substance and the end of its processability, so to speak the period of time in which the substance can still be "taken out of the pot" and processed. The end of the pot life is usually indicated by a significant increase in viscosity, which prevents further processing.

• Processing conditions

The processing and especially the drying of 2-component paints should not take place below 18°C. This information refers to the paint material, substrate and room temperature during processing and the subsequent drying and curing time of 7 days. Temperatures that are too low lead to drying and hardening problems, since the necessary chemical reaction cannot take place. A brief cooler temperature during curing can also lead to problems.
