U-POL Gravitex Plus HS StoneChip Protector Black 1L for under body coating

U-POL Gravitex Plus HS StoneChip Protector Black 1L is a high-performance underbody coating designed to protect vehicle surfaces from stone chips, corrosion, and other damaging elements. Here’s a guide on its usage:

Usage Instructions

1. Preparation:

   • Surface Cleaning: Ensure that the surface to be coated is clean, dry, and free of rust, grease, dirt, and loose materials. Use a suitable cleaner or degreaser if necessary.
   • Surface Preparation: If the surface is bare metal, consider applying a primer for better adhesion. Sanding or scuffing the area can improve the bond.

2. Application:

   • Mixing: Shake the can well before use to ensure proper mixing of the product.
   • Application Method: You can apply Gravitex using an underbody spray gun, aerosol, or brush.
   • Spray Gun Settings: If using a spray gun, adjust the pressure to about 2-4 bar. Use a nozzle size of approximately 1.5-2.0 mm.
   • Distance: Hold the spray gun or aerosol approximately 20-30 cm from the surface.
   • Layering: Apply in thin, even layers. Multiple coats can be applied for increased protection; allow sufficient drying time between coats (usually around 30 minutes).

3. Drying:

   • Drying Time: Gravitex dries quickly to touch but may take longer to cure fully. Allow 24 hours for full curing and optimum performance.
   • Temperature and Humidity: Ideal application conditions are at temperatures between 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F) and humidity levels below 85%.

4. Post-Application:

   • Clean Up: Clean any tools or overspray with an appropriate solvent before the product dries.
   • Safety Precautions: Use in a well-ventilated area, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and a mask, to avoid inhalation of fumes.

5. Storage:

   • Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent contamination.

Applications:

• Ideal for automotive underbodies, wheel arches, and areas prone to stone chips and corrosion.
