Liquid Flattening Agent

Product Number:

#950-4 Quart

SPI Liquid Flattening Agent Qualities:

SPI Flattening Agent is a high strength gel type product that utilizes the finest raw flattening agent available.  This product is very high strength and stays in suspension as well though always pre-mix or pre-shake before adding.

Reducer Selection:

If you are using this Liquid Flattening Agent in a coating that requires reduction always use the next speed faster meaning if you would normally use and 85 degree reducer in this application use a 70-75 degree reducer instead.

Mixing:

Mix or Shake this product thoroughly before each use! Then, gradually add #950 Liquid Flattening Agent until the desired flatness is achieved and verified on a test spray-out panel. 

Normally 30-50% of activated material.

Spray a Test Panel First:

As with any flattener always spray a test panel first and allow to totally dry for full flattening effect because no 2 products are alike and everyone’s idea of semi-gloss or flat differs!  Plus, different coatings will require different amounts of flattener.

Common Mistakes:

1. Not allowing the first coat to properly flash before applying the 2^nd coat
2. Spraying back to back wet coats
3. Using slow reducers and activators will also counteract.

Both of these common mistakes will override the properties of the flattening agent!
