- Mixing Information
The product is manufactured in a ready-to-use slurry for most foundries at a 39.5 Baume. However, the product can be easily mixed to a thinner consistency by adding enough trim water to reach the desired Baumeo for an individual foundry. Minimal foam will result when the product is mixed in accordance with instructions. Use mechanical agitation for easy mixing. To assure quality performances use a vortex less mixer blade. Recommend frequent scheduled emptying of mixing vessels or storage tanks, followed by clean down, clear water rinsing to prevent contamination.
- Airless Sprayer Specification
Use 0.43 orifice airless sprayer for application.
