Final Systems Rocket Fuel 2K Additive - 1 Litre

Rocket-Fuel 2K Super Accelerator is an additive which is used in small quantities with 2K hardeners to accelerate through curing. It may be used with normal or medium solids (MS) systems for air drying or stoving. It accelerates the through-curing of topcoats and 2K clears significantly, reducing stoving times and offering increased throughput and energy-saving in the body shop.

MIXING

• Open a fresh can of 2K hardener, remove the seal and add Rocket-Fuel as follows:
• Push the cap of the Rocket-Fuel container down and loosen slightly.
• Squeeze the container gently to fill the reservoir (10ml).
• 2K conventional hardeners: add 2 reservoirs full (20ml) per litre.
• MS hardeners: add 3 reservoirs full (30ml) per litre.
• Replace lid tightly and shake well to mix the contents of the 2K hardener can.
• Use the catalysed hardener in the normal way with 2K colours or 2K clears.

APPLICATION

The addition of Rocket-Fuel does not affect the application properties. Refer to the relevant data sheet for 2K colours and 2K clears.

DRYING

Drying depends on the hardener and thinner used and the air temperature if air drying. When air drying at 10°C, a body area of 50 microns dry film build-through dry overnight.

POT LIFE

It is recommended that partly used cans of hardener should be kept in cool, dry conditions and tightly sealed. If this is not done, the hardener may react with moisture from the atmosphere and go cloudy or gel. When the catalysed hardener is mixed with 2K colour or 2K clear, the mixture has a pot life of approximately 1 hour at 20°C.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Refer to the relevant Health and Safety Data Sheet.

IMPORTANT

• Rocket-Fuel should NOT be used with 2K Air Dry Hardener Fast under any circumstances.
• Once Rocket-Fuel has been added to the hardener, the hardener container should be marked; this will enable the user to avoid exceeding the recommended level, which can result in a serious loss of gloss.
• The use of Rocket-Fuel as with all 2K accelerators can marginally reduce the gloss level.
• At application temperatures above 15°C, the flash-off time between coats should be kept to a minimum to avoid recoating problems.
• Keep the Rocket-Fuel container tightly closed when not in use.
