Stone Chip Protection -AKR 311 KD1 05-, black

Edition 04/2009

Product Description

Stone Chip Protection -AKR 311 KD1 05- is a finely atomizing coating material with a synthetic resin basis.

The dried film adheres very well to cleaned base surfaces as well as to an bare and painted panel.

It is characterized by a high covering capacity, good protection against corrosion, high resistance to abrasion and therefore good protection against stone impacts.

After approximately seven minutes the quick-drying stone chip protection spray can be painted over using commercially available vehicle paint systems.

Oven drying at approximately 60 °C (140 °F) is possible without any problems.

Extraordinary mechanical stress (for example, automatic car washes) should be avoided in the first few weeks.

The mechanical load-bearing capacity of the painted surfaces can be found in the manufacturer's product specifications.

Application Instructions

Application

Stone Chip Protection -AKR 311 KD1 05- is used on visible components, such as front and rear aprons and door sills to protect against stone impact, grit, and moisture corrosion. It can be quickly painted over.

The material is also used to supplement stone chip protection linings, for work on particular points of a vehicle and during accident repair work.

Note

Before starting to apply, it is necessary to read the safety measures and advice in the safety data sheet.

Even for products which are not required to be labeled by law, the usual safety measures must be observed for chemical emissions.

Processing

Clean the surfaces to be treated with Stone Chip Protection well beforehand and remove any rust.

The surfaces must be dry, free of grease, dirt and as much dust as possible.

The material should be at room temperature during application.

Shake the can thoroughly; when the ball bearings start to rattle, continue shaking for approximately one minute.

Hold the can vertically when spraying and spray from a distance of 20 to 30 cm.

If parts of the vehicle were covered before spraying, the covers should be removed before drying.

Abrasion and corrosion protection increases with the layer thickness. For this reason one or two additional coats should be applied after a short ventilation time.

To prevent spraying shadows the material is sprayed on in cross patterns.

After use, the can and the valve should be held down and the valve sprayed until only propellant gas emerges.

Caution

Do not spray onto moving or high-temperature components such as the steering, engine, transmission, driveshaft, exhaust, catalytic converter and brake system.

Cleaning

Splashes and paint mist can be removed immediately with gasoline.

Dried material can only be removed with D or R thinner. Be careful with fresh paint!
