Enviro-Finish 40A03
- Chemical Family
- Acrylics & Acrylates
Enviro-Finish 40A03 is a high performance waterborne acrylic enamel designed for the segment of the OEM Market that requires a VOC compliant coating to replace its conventional alkyd system. 40 Series is designed for Direct-To-Metal (DTM) applications or can be used over our 49 Series primer for extra corrosion protection. Formulated to provide extra early resistance to water spotting and wrinkling which are common problems among water reducible alkyd enamels exposed to moisture too early.

- Application
- Mixing
- Stir each container thoroughly before using and occasionally while applying. No thinning usually required. If necessary, thin with up to one pint of water to each gallon of paint. Application: Apply with air, airless, air assisted airless, turbo or HVLP spray systems.. For airless or air assisted airless application, use a 0.011-0.015" tip at 1800 psi. For air spray, use 50 psi air pressure and 8 psi fluid pressure with conventional air cap, tip and needle. Max of 15% water may be applied for dip or flow coat applications.
- Coverage
- One gallon will cover 350 square feet per coat on smooth surfaces. Coverage figure does not include spray loss, loss due to surface porosity, surface irregularities, nor material loss when mixing.
- Cleanup
- Clean equipment promptly with warm water. Give spray equipment a final flush with mineral spirits to help prevent corrosion. Dispose of used paint and waste in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
- Application Precautions & Limitations
- Apply when surface, air and product are above 50°F and at least 5°F above the dew point. Product may be force cured with conventional or IR heat. Product cure can be accelerated with force temperatures from 150-250°F within a time element of 2-20 minutes. Increases in heated air flow can significantly reduce the amount of oven time.

- Benefits
- Excellent Adhesion to Metal.
- V.O.C. Compliant/Environmentally Friendly
- Excellent Gloss Retention
- Resistant to early Water Spotting and Wrinkling
- Non Flammable/Low Odor
- Excellent resistance to U.V. Exposure
- Water Clean-Up
- Recommended Uses
Applications include O.E.M. heavy-duty construction equipment, storage and disposal containers, automotive components, farm machinery, feed and grain bins, livestock equipment, tanks, trailers and general industrial finishing. 40 Series can also be used on exterior substrates where most oil base enamels lose their gloss and become chalky because of weathering and UV exposure.
- Application Methods
- Dip Coating
- Spray
- Surface Preparation
All substrates must be cleaned free of dust, dirt, oil, grease, soap residue, wax, flaking paint, form oils or parting compounds and any other contaminants. Solvent wipe and/or detergent clean with TZ Paint Prep (Waterbased Solvent Degreaser). Sandblast or wire brush rusted surfaces and prime with 49 series primer. For optimum adhesion and corrosion resistance, metal should be iron phosphate treated.
