Method of Use
Mixing and Dilution
RH-200 is supplied as a concentrate and should be diluted with water before use. A dilution ratio of 1:4 (product:water) is recommended for initial trial. The concentrate should be agitated prior to and during the dilution process. For best results, the diluted product should be applied by conventional spray techniques.
Application
Before applying, the mold surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of any oil or dirt, and preheated to at lease 200°F (93°C). This will enable good coating adhesion and rapid evaporation of the water carrier.
Precautions
Keep from freezing. See Acheson Material Safety Data Sheet for current first aid instructions.
