Product Data Sheet Crater-X Intended Uses Crater-X is an additive developed for use with Awlgrip Topcoat and Awlcraft 2000 Topcoats to prevent cratering, crawling, and fisheyes caused by minor surface contamination. Crater-X alters the surface tension of the coating improving flow and leveling. Use Crater-X after a surface contamination problem has been identified and corrected, or whenever the quality of surface preparation is in doubt. Crater-X is not a substitute for proper cleaning or surface preparation. It will not overcome severe surface contamination conditions. Crater-X is to be used in Awlgrip and Awlcraft 2000 topcoats only - never add it to primers. Specification Data Available Packs Base 1 US Quart, 1 US Pint M1017 - Crater-X VOC All VOC information contained herein is theoretical (unless otherwise stated). Actual VOC content may vary by batch and when tested via standard test methodology. Product As Supplied (without reducer) g/L 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 choice/condition and other factors. Testing on a non-critical area should be carried out prior to full-scale preparation. This product is an additive component. See instructions and recommendations for the primary product. Mixing & Reduction Mixing and reduction requirements will vary according to individual conditions, climate, equipment choice/condition and other factors. Mixing and application of a small sample before full-scale application is recommended. Add 1/2 to 1 liquid ounce (15-30ml) of Crater-X to one gallon of Awlgrip Topcoat or Awlcraft 2000 base component. Thoroughly mix material under mechanical agitation. Allow mixture to stand for 30 minutes; then add converter and reducer and apply in the standard fashion. Crater-X can be added to topcoats when the base, converter, and reducer are already combined. However, Crater-X is most effective when it is added to the base component before the base and converter are combined. Crater-X is to be used in Awlgrip and Awlcraft 2000 topcoats only - never add it to primers. Application Application equipment and parameters are given as a guide. Actual equipment choices will vary according to application conditions, equipment condition and other factors. Testing on a non-critical area should be carried out prior to full-scale application.
