Special Notes:
- Do not reduce the material, as it may affect film build, appearance, and adhesion.
- Deep tinted colors may exhibit burnishing and are not recommended for high-abrasion areas.
- Not compliant with VOC regulations in OTC, SCAQMD, CARB, Canada, or LEED v4/v4.1.
- Not UV-stable; exterior applications may require additional UV-resistant topcoats for long-term durability.
- Surface preparation is critical for performance; all surfaces must be clean, dry, and properly primed.
- For previously painted surfaces, adhesion testing is recommended before full application.
- Clean tools and equipment with compliant cleanup solvent immediately after use.
- Rags and waste soaked with this product may spontaneously combust; dispose of properly in a sealed, water-filled metal container.
