DUST-CONTROL
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

DUST-CONTROL is a clear aqueous solution of resins and tackifiers specially formulated for application on
spray booth walls by brush or spraytool. The film does not completely dry out at ambient temperature and it
has a tacky property which collects and holds dust so perfect to keep the spray booth area free of dust
particles. Once the film is contaminated with dust or overspray, it can easily be washed off with lukewarm
water or pressure washer. A fresh coat of DUST-CONTROL can then be applied to the booth walls.

METHOD OF USE:

BY SPRAY: Use a spray gun with a fluid tip of 1.7 to 2.0mm. A single pass using a fairly wide fan should give
sufficient coverage ensuring that a continuous coating is applied – no bare patches.
BY PAINT BRUSH OR PASTE BRUSH: apply a thin coat only, to avoid runs.
BY ROLLER: As single coat is adequate.
Wash out equipment with water.

DUST-CONTROL is suitable for application to most factory finished paint spray booths where the paintwork
may be 2 pack polyurethane, 2 pack epoxy, or other stove converted paint. In Spray Bake booths where
temperatures 50-80°C are regularly attained, DUST-CONTROL will need to be replaced more often as it will
eventually dry out making paint overspray difficult to remove. The coating will remain effective for up to 50
hrs at low bake temperatures and should be replenished every 2-4 weeks in most circumstances, either by
overcoating with fresh product or washing down and the re-application.

REMOVAL

DUST-CONTROL is easily removed from booth walls by washing with water, it is very readily soluble.
Where paint overspray has landed on the booth wall as a discrete mist of paint, it will be possible to wash
away the underlying DUST-CONTROL film to obtain a clean wall.
When paint overspray forms a complete paint film on the booth wall it is much more difficult to wash away the
underlying DUST-CONTROL because there is no access for the water to dissolve the coating. Scoring the
surface will aid water penetration.

COVERAGE

It is reasonable to expect 8 - 10 square metres/litre. After the water has evaporated away the tacky coating
should be 0,02 – 0,04mm thick.

PRECAUTIONS

DUST-CONTROL may not be suitable for use on top of uncured paints such as cellulose or household paints
especially if the booth is heated to low bake temperatures. In these cases there could be some interaction of
the paint film with the TACKY SURFACE COATING FILM.

DUST-CONTROL is not suitable for use on steel or galvanised booth walls because repeated washing with
water as part of the booth maintenance procedure can cause corrosion (rust and white rust).

SPECIAL STORAGE:

No special conditions of storage.
