---† 50% Relative Humidity. Note: Refer to product listings on www.nsf.org for specific potable water return to service information. Curing time will vary with surface temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Note: When recoating Series 1 with itself, the minimum recoat time is 2 hours at 70°F (21°C).
Ventilation: When used in enclosed areas, provide adequate ventilation during application and cure.
With 44-710: The use of 44-710 can greatly reduce dry to handle cure times. Note: Series 44-710 Accelerator must be used when the surface temperature falls below 50°F (10°C).
