PRE-PROMOTED For safety, consistency and easy use. Air-cure with no wax required. HIGH GLOSS Polishes to a high gloss wet look surface. CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Highly cross-linked coating provides excellent chemical resistance. STRENGTH & FLEXIBILITY Excellent flexibility and impact resistance. CLEAR SUNSHIELD POLYESTER TOPCOAT PRODUCT #904-061 S AFETY & HANDLING Sunshield Poly ester Topcoat is extremely flammable. Do not apply near sparks, open flames or heat. Keep area ventilated. Do not smoke. Av oid continuous breathing of vapor. Sunshield contains ingredients which could be harmful if mishandled. Contact with skin and eyes should be avoided and necessary protective equipment and clothi ng should be worn. Individual s should wash with soap and water befor e eating or drinking. A ll containers should be properly labeled to prevent accidental ingestion or improper disposal. Individuals should resea l any partly used material back in the container. Store under cool, dry conditions and away from open flames and high temperatures. For more detailed instructions on storage, please see the MSDS sheet.

Local regulations vary. Consult your local AQMD to confirm actual VOC in use. CLEAR SUNSHIELD POLYESTER TOPCOAT APPLICATION GUIDE | PRODUCT #904-061 The following use instructions are broad to address multiple applications. We recommend testing for product compatability with your process. Please contact our Tech Team at (909) 546-1160 with any questions. PLEASE NOTE www.duratec1.com Prepare & Catalyze Temperature should be at least 64 F for both the product and the part. Mix Duratec with either a paint shaker or a drill-mounted mixer. A paint stir stick will not be enough. Catalyze the Duratec at 2.0 % by weight with a low hydrogen peroxide MEKP, like Norox 925. Only catalyze what can be used in 12 minutes. Sunshield is best applied by spraying. We recommend HVLP air-assisted spray guns. A 1.6 - 1.8mm tip is recommended. Use 34-40 psi air pressure. Adjust the needle and fan to provide the proper spray. Additional solvent is not needed for most spray guns. If thinning is required, we suggest the use of Duratec 39UCE Reducer. Apply Option #1: In-Mold Prior to Laminating Ensure mold is clean and free of silicone. When sprayed in-mold Sunshield we suggest use of a wax mold release agent like TR108 or honey wax rather than or in conjunction with semi-perm release agents. This will allow the proper surface tension essential for Sunshield to level and ow across the in-mold surface. Adjust uid pressure and atomizing air to achieve an even pattern with fne droplets prior to spraying the mold. The frst pass should be a dust coat that sets up for two minutes before further application. The dust coat should be a light fog, not a continuous flm. Additional coats of 4-5 mils can be applied, again allowing a minimum of two minutes to out-gas. Twelve mils will provide a nice fnish with UV protection. Up to 22 mils can be applied if the part requires aggressive post sanding. The coating needs to be tacky free for each build coat to bond. Laminate polyesters and vinyl esters when the Duratec has set up and does not transfer, but retains some tack. Cure time varies with temperature and air ow. For epoxy laminating systems, a tack free surface is required. Increased heat up to 120 F will speed this process. Remember the adhesion comes from the epoxy. Test the bond between the Duratec and your epoxy blend to assure good adhesion.

PLEASE NOTE Apply www.duratec1.com Option #2: Finishing Parts NOTE: For epoxy laminate, water washing with clean water and a heavy duty scrub sponge pad is necessary before and after sanding. It is not necessary to water wash polyester or vinyl ester laminates. Abrade the entire surface with 180 grit, providing mechanical tooth. Remove dust and acetone-wipe the surface. Set up gun, mix, and catalyze as previously mentioned. Pro Tip: Sunshield can by applied by brush or roller when topcoating wood. The Duratec may need to be mechanically forced into severe porosity. The frst 2-3 mil passes can be worked with a squeegee to fll the holes. Additional coats can be applied after two minutes and while the surface is still tacky. If re-coating the full cured Duratec is necessary, frst sand with 180 grit. The fnal spray should be sanded with 400 grit and allowed to cure for 8 hours prior to fnal polishing.

CLEAR SUNSHIELD POLYESTER TOPCOAT TROUBLESHOOTING | PRODUCT #904-061 Problem Cause Solution Alligatoring Not enough catalyst used. Substrate/primer incompatibility or chemical reaction. Check for proper catalyst levels. Expose surface to higher temperature before spraying when ambient temp of below 64 F , 18 C. Product sprayed on cold surface. Check compatibility of surface of product. Cracking Product sprayed too thickly, too fast. Increase the number of passes, adding dwell time between coats. Dimples (Craters) Film build up too rapid, solvent trapped in product. Increase the number of passes to achieve desired thickness. Allow for ash o between passes. Fisheyes Substrate contaminated. Do not use a tack rag . Ensure rag does not leave contaminant on surface. Spray in a clean area to minimize airborne dust, water, waxes, and/or silicones. Spray with dry fltered air. Contamination in the air. Contamination in the line. Orange Peel Spray equipment set up incorrectly. Spray pressure incorrect. Pot pressure incorrect. Follow the instructions for equipment set up. Set pressure at 34-40 psi. Set pressure at 10-12 psi. Pattern surface sticks to mold upon release Pinholes Porosity Improper release preparation. Follow manufacturer s instructions when applying release materials. Primer not fully cured before compounding and polishing. Excess gel time for tooling gel coat. Substrate porosity. Fill porous areas with product using squeegee, brush or roller before spraying. Follow instructions in the application guide for pattern surfacing. Follow manufacturer s recs for gel time Acetone used as thinner. Spray pressure too high. Spray orifce too small. Reduce pressure to 34-40 psi. Use larger orifce. Use slower solvent such as Duratec Reducer or MEK Not using silicone free paste waxUse a silicone free paste wax, like TR 108
