A 70% cure will occur at ambient temperature, 72°F (22.2°C), within 12 hours, at which time the coating may be placed into service if it is not an immersion or extremely harsh environment. If the coating is to be exposed to an immersion service or a harsh environment, the best possible scenario is to allow 7 days at ambient temperature for the coating to cure. This time can be accelerated if heat can be added to the coating in order to accelerate the curing. Consult Freecom s Technical Service for additional information.
