Usage Tips

  • Mixing: Follow the ratio indicated in the technical sheet of the main product (primer or clear), and incorporate D8717 as a rapid thinner depending on the temperature. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
  • Nozzle / Pressure: Use the recommended nozzle for the main product; adjust the pressure to avoid excessive thickness or runs.
  • Flash-off / Open Time: Reduce flash time before covering or clear application, as D8717 accelerates evaporation. Example: see reduced drying times for PPG clears with D8717. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
  • Safety: Use in a ventilated booth, wear PPE (gloves, goggles, respirator) as with any professional solvent.

Safety & Storage

  • Product reserved for professional use.
