- Clean Up
All equipment should be cleaned by scrubbing with a stiff brush and MEK at the end of each working period or when build-up becomes pronounced.
- Coverage
Coverage is 260 ft² per one gallon unit at 6 mils wet film thickness, resulting in a dry thickness of approximately 5 mils.
- Shelf LIfe
Sauereisen VEPrime No. 550 Hardener and Liquid have a shelf life of three (3) months when stored in unopened, tightly sealed containers in a dry location at 70°F. If there is a doubt as to the quality of the materials, consult a Sauereisen representative.

- Setting/Curing
The No. 550 will take an initial set in two (2) hours at 70°F. Proper curing of VEPrime No. 550 is critical to the serviceability of the completed system; therefore, the substrate and the material temperatures should not be allowed to fall below 60°F until final cure has been achieved. Do not allow water or chemicals on the material surface as this could directly affect inter-coat adhesion.. VEPrime No. 550 may be topcoated after twelve (12) hours at 70°F. If the duration before topcoating exceeds 24 hours, contact Sauereisen to discuss proper solvent wipe procedures.
- Characteristic
- Maximum service temperature of 250°F (121°C).
- Fast chemical set - less down time.
- Applied by roller or spray
