PRODUCT DATA SHEET REDUCERS Topcoat – Special Purpose – Primer General Information All of the listed reducers for Awlgrip, Awlcraft 2000 and Awlcraft SE Topcoats can be blended with each other in any ratio to fine tune flow and evaporation rates. Most Awlgrip and Awlcraft 2000 Topcoats recommend up to 25% reduction. The reduction percentage is calculated from the combined total of the base component and converter component. Mixing a quart of base and a quart of converter yields 2 quarts of mixed base and converter: 25% would be 1/2 quart of reducer. Examples of total mix quantities for 1:1 and 2:1 base to converter ratios are as follows: 1:1 mix materials Awlgrip Topcoat Spray, 545 Primer, etc. Reduction: 25% Color Base 12 oz. Converter 12 oz. Reducer 6 oz. Total Mix 30 oz. 2:1 mix materials: Awlgrip Topcoat Brush (10-33% reduction), Awlcraft 2000 Topcoat Spray (up to 25% reduction) Reduction: 25% 30% 33% Color Base 12 oz. 12 oz. 12 oz. Converter 6 oz. 6 oz. 6 oz. Reducer 4.5 oz. 5.5 oz. 6 oz. Total Mix 22.5 oz. 23.5 oz. 24 oz. At higher temperatures, reducers evaporate faster. When painting in hot conditions increasing the amount of reducer in the mix by 510% will help compensate for this factor. Topcoat Reducers T0001 Fast Evaporating Reducer for Spray Applied Urethane Topcoats Use T0001 in Awlgrip/Awlcraft 2000/Awlcraft SE Topcoats when application and cure temperatures are between 60-75°F (16-24°C). At 60-75°F (16-24°C), T0001 will keep the paint film open for good flow but evaporate fast enough to provide adequate dry and dustfree times. VOC: 888 g/lt or 7.4 lbs/gallon T0002 Fast Evaporating Reducer and Equipment Cleaner Use T0002 in Awlgrip/Awlcraft 2000/Awlcraft SE Topcoats when application and cure temperatures are between 55-70°F (13-21°C). At 55-70°F (13-21°C), T0002 will keep the paint film open but evaporate fast enough to provide adequate dry and dust-free times. T0002 is also an excellent gun and equipment. T0002 can also be used in conjunction with T0005 at higher temperatures (> 90°F/32°C) to combat solvent popping. Use T0002 as the reducer for topcoats flattened with G3013 Flattening Agent and G2002 Awlgrip Flat Black for best finish development. VOC: 806 g/lt or 6.7 lbs/gallon T0003 Standard Reducer for Spray Applied Urethane Topcoats Use T0003 in Awlgrip, Awlcraft 2000 and Awlcraft SE Topcoats when application and cure temperatures are between 70–90°F (21–32°C). T0003 will keep the paint film open but evaporate fast enough to provide adequate dry and dust–free times.
