Before construction:
1. Open the bucket for mixing: The mixing time should be at least 3 minutes.
2. The air gel thermal insulation coating can be applied by spraying or plastering. The total thickness of the coating can be 1~50mm, and the application times can be 1~5 times. The specific construction method can be determined based on the construction environment, painting area, quality requirements, and manufacturer’s recommendations.
Before applying the material, the rust stains, oil stains, dust, and other debris on the surface of the application should be cleaned up first. The application process should be carried out in an environment with a temperature above 5 ℃ and a relative humidity below 60%.
If the surface of the applied material is too smooth or there are other special circumstances, the manufacturer should be consulted in advance whether an additional interface coating is needed. The outer layer of the outermost aerogel thermal insulation coating can be the protective coating provided by the manufacturer, or other water-based coating approved by the manufacturer, and oil-based coating shall not be used as the protective coating.
During construction:
5. The thickness can be selected according to the required insulation effect or the manufacturer’s recommendation. The thickness of the first coat should be within 2mm, and after the first layer is dry, the number of coats should be continuously increased. Starting from the second layer, the single application thickness can be appropriately increased, and it is recommended to control it within 8mm each time to ultimately meet the requirements of the working conditions.
6. The next coat must be applied only after the previous coat has completely dried, and the final layer of construction should ensure a smooth surface. After full application, it needs to be naturally dried for 48 hours before it can be put into use.
After construction:
7. Coating products should be stored in a cool environment, and the recommended long-term storage temperature is between 5-30 ℃.
During transportation, long-term exposure to sunlight, collisions, and heavy pressure should be avoided as much as possible to maintain the integrity of the packaging.
