Discoloration

 

 

CAUSE

REMEDY
A Presence of foreign vapors/fumes. Investigate the nature of vapors which might be present. It will then be necessary to shield off the vapors from contact with the finish.
B Water-borne coatings will rust steel parts or oxidize aluminum in application equipment and can contaminate coatings. Change to stainless or plastic parts.
C Improper drum liner.

Make certain correct liner is being used.

D Using old nitrocellulose products. Nitrocellulose finishes tend to amber in color as they age, even in a closed container. Always use as fresh material as possible.
E Tannin bleed when using water base coatings. Use undercoater as first coat to stop tannin bleed.
