Ambient Temperature -40˚C to 50˚C (-40˚F to 122˚F)

The recommended substrate (metal surface) temperature range for the application of SP-9888® is
15˚C (59˚F) to 50˚C (122˚F) with a minimum of 10˚C (50˚F).
Substrate Temperature Preheating of the substrate is required if the surface to be coated is below 10˚C (50˚F). The
substrate temperature must be a minimum of 3˚C (5˚F) above the dew point temperature before
proceeding with the coating operation.

Recommended Spray Preheat Temperature in Drum/Pail:

Base: 75˚C (167˚F) to 90˚C (194˚F)
Hardener: 15˚C (59˚F) to 30˚C (86˚F) (Ambient-typically not heated)
Material Temperature
Preheating of the base material is required to balance the viscosity of base and hardener. In cases
of extreme weather conditions the recommended temperatures may change, please consult your
SPC representative.

Recoat Interval may vary depending upon the substrate temperature and humidity, contact your
SPC Representative.
Recoat Interval
Recoating is best achieved while initial coat is still tacky.
Re-Blasting of the surface is required if the maximum recoat interval is exceeded. The minimum
recoat surface preparation interval is 6 hours @ 25˚ (77˚F).
Profile depth shall be the same as previously stated. Small areas ≤ 19.35 sq.cm. (≤3 sq. in.) may
be sanded using a medium grit (80-100) carborundum cloth. All dust from the sanding or blast
roughening must be removed from the surface prior to the application of the coating.
