Lausitzer Farbwerke car paint - traditional agricultural machinery paint

High-quality 2-component varnish from Lausitzer Farbwerke with suitable hardener

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

You will be sent two cans of paint 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 quickly and easily.

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

• Which hardener belongs to the paint
• Mixing ratio
• Processing viscosity
• Dilution
• Pot life
• Processing time
• Processing type (application)
• Processing conditions

These points in detail:

• Which hardener belongs to the paint?

In the description of the paint (usually even on the paint can) the exact name of the hardener that matches the paint is always stated. Please never use another hardener.

• Mixing ratio

The two components, i.e. paint and hardener, are mixed together in a certain ratio immediately before processing. This ratio is also indicated in the description of the varnish or indicated on the can of varnish. Here is an example: Mixing ratio 5:1 (by weight) which means that you weigh out 5 parts of varnish and 1 part of 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 it.b Add 500 grams of varnish and then add 100 grams of hardener. That would then be the specified 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 of the liquid. 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 type of processing (brushing, spraying, rolling, pouring, dipping), it may be necessary to change the viscosity, i.e. to add some thinner. As a rule, the addition of thinner is between 1% and 20%.

• Dilution

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

• Pot life

Pot life is the length of time that reactive materials can be processed, e.g.b Varnishes. It is 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 10°C. This information refers to the paint material, substrate and room temperature during processing and the subsequent drying and curing time of approx. 5-7 days Temperatures that are too low lead to drying and hardening problems because the necessary chemical reaction cannot take place. Even a short-term cooler temperature during curing can lead to problems.
