4. What is the VOC content of G3010?

The VOC content of the Spray Converter G3010 is 591 g/L (4.9 lbs/gallon).

5. Can I use G3010 with coatings other than Awlgrip Topcoats G/H Line?

The product data only specifies G3010 as the spray converter for Awlgrip Topcoats G/H Line. Consultar ficha técnica del fabricante.

6. How many coats are recommended when using G3010 in Awlgrip Topcoat?

Spray applications with the mixed system typically use three or more coats applied over 1–4 hours, depending on temperature, project size and film thickness.

7. What is the anticipated cure time of the mixed system?

At 77°F (25°C) and 50% relative humidity, the mixed Awlgrip Topcoat system is typically tape free in 24 hours, ready for light service in 3 days and fully cured in 14 days.

8. Are there temperature limits when applying the system containing G3010?

Do not apply paint materials to surfaces less than 5°F (3°C) above the dew point or to surfaces warmer than 105°F (41°C). Ambient temperature should be between 55°F (13°C) and 105°F (41°C).

9. How should equipment be cleaned after using G3010 in the Awlgrip system?
