Awlfair LW Fairing Compound D8200 / D7200 - 1

Product Data Sheet Awlfair LW Fairing Compound D8200 / D7200 Uses Fairing compounds are used to produce a smooth surface (and to reduce drag). Awlfair ® LW is designed for fairing, leveling or smoothing surface imperfections due to gouges, pitting, dents or weld seams. Awlfair® LW can be used above and below the waterline. Although designed as a cosmetic material the design of the structure it is being applied to should not be ignored. Seek independent expert advice to ensure that the construction and design are suitable for the chosen system and will not cause the fairing material to crack or delaminate Specification Data Packaging: Available in 1 Quart, 1 Gallon (US only) , 2 Gallon , 5 Gallon , 60LT (EU only) and 200lt (EU only). Theoretical Coverage: Application Method Longboard battens / Trowels / Spatulas / Putty Knifes Theoretical Coverage Per Coat * A max DFT of 5 - 6 mm per application is recommended to minimize air entrapment. Thicker applications may lead to excessive air entrapment which in turn can lead to defects and a system failure. Coverage calculations are based on theoretical transfer efficiency of 100%. Actual coverage rate obtained will vary according to equipment choice, application techniques, part size, and application environment. Awlfair LW Fairing Compound

Product Data Sheet Awlfair LW Fairing Compound D8200 / D7200 Surface Preparation The surface preparation advice provided, and equipment suggestions, can be used as a guide. Preparation techniques and results will vary according to individual conditions, equipment age and other factors. Testing on a non-critical area should be carried out prior to full-scale preparation. Only apply over properly applied and prepared Awlgrip primers. Hullgard Extra Epoxy Primer and High Build (GRP only) are recommended substrate primers. Awlfair® LW may be applied direct to Hullgard Extra without the need for...

Product Data Sheet Awlfair LW Fairing Compound D8200 / D7200 Recoatability and Drying Time The data given for recoatability is not exhaustive. Actual recoatability can vary according to individual conditions, climate and surroundings. If unsure consult local technical service representative before proceeding. Drying times: Note: (While the fairing compound may appear hard dry, curing will continue for several days. This does not prevent overcoating) Drying Hardness Development (Shore D) Pot life Anticipated Cure Time at 75ºF/25°C/50% R.H: 8 hours touch dry; 24 hours resistance to...

Product Data Sheet Awlfair LW Fairing Compound D8200 / D7200 Pot life and working time is dependent upon temperature. Warmer climates will decrease pot life. Note: Awlfair® LW must be sealed with Hullgard Epoxy Primer (D6070/D3707) when used below the waterline. Note: Awlfair® LW should be sealed with an Awlgrip Epoxy Primer such as High Build or Ultra Build when used above the waterline. This will maximize gloss and color holdout in the Awlgrip top coat system. The Awlgrip Surfacing Filler may be used on top of the Awlfair® LW to cover pinholes and sand marks prior to priming. Sanding:...
