Product Data Sheet Awlfair LW D8200/D7200 Intended Uses Fairing compounds are used to produce a smooth surface (and 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.

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. Mechanical Properties Test Compressive Strain (%) Flexural Strain (%) Tensile Strain (%) Thermal Expansion Coefficient (x10-5/°C) Warning: The information set out above is provided for guidance only and is based on our own internal product testing under controlled conditions using hand-mixed product. Please note that there may be slight variations when the product is used in service conditions. Air pockets due to poor application will significantly affect the mechanical properties of the Awlfair LW and therefore must be eliminated as far as possible. We appreciate that it is very difficult to entirely eliminate air pockets in an industrial environment. You can, however, minimise any risk by eliminating air pockets as far as possible and by ensuring that any air pockets are less than 4mm. The use of battens when fairing can result in excessive air pockets and should be discussed with an Awlgrip technical representative. If in doubt, test the product for the intended use on a suitable mock-up representative of the vessel area to be faired, in order to fully take into account any specific design, temperature, fabrication, substrate, application and product thickness/scheme considerations.

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. Please refer to your local representative applied direct to Hullgard Extra without the need for sanding. High Build must be sanded prior to application of Awlfair LW.

Hardness Development (Shore D): >60 after 48 hours at 15°C; >60 after 24 hours at 25°C; >60 after 16 hours at 35°C. Product Data Sheet Awlfair LW While the fairing compound may appear hard dry, curing will continue for several days. This does not prevent overcoating. Awlfair LW must be sanded before recoating with itself, surfacing filler or any other high build primer. Block or machine sand with 36-80 grit paper. Awlfair LW D8200/D7200 must be overcoated with an approved high build primer to reduce the risk of print through of the fairing compound profile. Min Awlfair Surfacing Filler,...
