Technical description of AquaMax Extra E980 Power Black Paint:

AquaMax Extra is a water-based system designed mainly for multi-coat, opaque, pearlescent and metallic colours. This powerful black colour has excellent Theoretical coverage, guaranteeing bodybuilders a high level of quality and productivity. Its versatility makes it ideal for Spot-repairs on small areas or entire panels.

The AquaMax Extra system can be used in conjunction with UHS Clearcoats from the Max Meyer range of automotive repair products. It offers ease of application and excellent durability. What's more, you'll get superb results right from the first coat.

Its water-soluble technology significantly reduces solvent emissions into the atmosphere during your car body repairs.

Characteristics of the AquaMax Extra base system and E980 colour:

1. Application surfaces :

This professional paint can be applied to MaxMeyer low-VOC primers and putties, but also to previously sanded original paints (with P400-P500 Abrasive discs).

2. Choice of Thinner :

We recommend the use of three Thinners, to be adapted according to the type of repair to be carried out:

> Thinner AquaMax 9910 2L MaxMeyer

> Aquamax slow Thinner 9940 2L MaxMeyer

> MaxMeyer high performance additive 1L

The high-performance Additive 1.978.0092 has been developed as an alternative to standard AquaMax Thinners to provide extra protection for vehicles in difficult conditions. This is the case, for example, on bumpers and front parts exposed to everyday impacts such as gravel, or in extreme conditions.

Using E980 base paint:

1. Spray gun adjustment :

• Nozzle diameter 1.2-1.4 mm
• Total dry film thickness: 10-20 µm

2. Mixing preparation and coat application:

Gently shake your base for a few seconds before use. The colour is ready to use and should be mixed by hand before spraying.

3. Applying coats :

Apply single coats until opaque. Then allow to evaporate well between coats. If you wish to speed up drying, ventilation equipment can be used.

To ensure good reproduction of metallic shades and good placement of aluminium, apply a placement veil with a spray pressure of 1.2-1.5 bar at the gun inlet on dry film. To speed up the process, a control coat can be applied to semi-dry film once opacity has been reached.

4. Drying time :

Air drying 20°C (less than 50% humidity).

• Time between coats: until matt
• Waiting time before applying Clearcoat: once matt and dry.

IR drying 60°C :

• Medium waves: 3 minutes until matt
• Short waves: 2 minutes until matt

Tech'team tip: When IR drying, do not apply the placement veil on a hot surface. Wait for the repair surface to cool before applying the Clearcoat.

5. Finishing :

All MaxMeyer 2K Low VOC Clearcoats for automotive repair.
