Cure parameters must be closely observed since mechanical properties will develop before full cross-linking.

Test results
Checked under laboratory conditions on iron phosphated steel test panel Bonderite B-1000 or equivalent. Cure conditions are according to the curecurves. Actual product performance may vary due to product-specific properties such as gloss, color, effect and finish as well as application-relatedand environmental influences. When used as a two-coat system, the increase in film thickness will result in a decrease of mechanical properties.

Disclaimer

For metallic finishes, it is recommended to observe the guidelines
published in the latest edition of TIGER Drylac® “Application guidelines
for metallic effect powder coatings”.

TIGER’s verbal and written recommendations for the use of its
products are based upon experience and in accordance with current
technological standards. These are provided in order to support
the buyer or user. They are non-committal and do not create any
additional commitments to the purchase agreement. They do notrelease the buyer from verifying the suitability of TIGER products
for the intended application. TIGER warrants that its products arefree of flaws and defects to the extent stipulated in the Terms ofDelivery and Payment.

Top coating with a clear exterior grade powder coating over an interior
grade powder coating does not result into a weather resistant coatingsystem.
Post-bending properties of any part must be verified prior to application.
Minor cracks in the coated surface may lead to corrosion.

As part of TIGER product information program, each Product Data
Sheet is updated periodically. The latest version shall prevail. It isrecommended to always check for the latest editions on TIGER’s
website download area www.tiger-coatings.com to make sure you
have the most current version of this Product Data Sheet. The
information on TIGER’s Product Data Sheets are subject to change
without notification.

Joint sealants and any other auxiliary products, such as glazing aids,
gliding waxes, drilling and cutting lubricants, which come in contact withthe coated surface, must be pH-neutral and free of substances that may
damage the finish. Therefore, a suitability test at the applicator’s end,prior to coating, is highly recommended.
In general, colors in the red, orange and yellow range may require an
increased film thickness to achieve full hiding.

This Product Data Sheet supersedes and replaces all previous
Product Data Sheet versions and notes to customers published inrelation to this product and is only intended to provide a general
overview on the product.

Please read and understand the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.

The required chemical resistance of a powder coating depends,
among other things, on its formulation. Chemical resistancerequirements must be considered according to processing conditions
and final use of the finished product. This is best establishedduring the product specification process. Agreement between allparties involved must be reached about the requirements for suchchemical resistance as well as the test method, which may be
performed in accordance with PCI test method #8 “Solvent CureTest”. Furthermore, the test duration and concentration of the test
media need to be agreed upon.
