Cold Temperatures and Waterborne Basecoats
Brrrr... the temperatures have gotten colder and if you're spraying waterborne basecoat, there are some important storage and handling tips you should keep in mind to ensure this advanced product maintains its optimum performance:
- Store product off the floor, away from concrete walls and away from direct heat sources. This is important for both distributors and shops.
- The acceptable storage temperature for waterborne basecoat is between 5°C-41°C, however, ideal conditions are between 13°C-29°C.
- Transportation of waterborne products should be in closed vehicles. Temps of 5°F or below require temperature controlled transportation.
- Rotate stock to ensure first in, first out (FIFO) stock management.
